Despite all the wonderful places I have seen, I must admit that the Apuseni (Western Carpathians) are the place I enjoy most every time my feet take me there. It is why I want to share their landscapes with as many people in search for an active, healthy and relaxing way of spending their time. Hiking in nature encompass real benefits for the body, mind and soul. That is why in my tours you will learn new things about these benefits, about the complex aspects of nature, you will learn the hiking techniques, how to use a compass and a map and we’ll talk about gear recommendations too. We’ll observe the landscapes, the flora and the fauna and, last but not least, we’ll enjoy an active day in the mountains and you will discover the stories and the legends of the area.

The cuisine of Transylvania is a mosaic that reflects the multicultural gastronomic and cultural influences of the populations and various trends in society. In our region, we have 11 different cultural influences: on the one hand of those who lived here (Romanians, Saxons, Hungarians, Armenians, Hebrews and Roma), on the other hand influences of surrounding, regional or historical powers and authorities (Austrian, Turkish, Russian, French and Greek). Discover Cluj Napoca, Transylvania’s capital, from a different perspective: the walking food tour takes you during approx. 4 – 5 hours through the historical centre where you’ll get to learn the various tastes of the most emblematic products and recipes of the multi-ethnic society. You’ll also receive a map of Cluj Napoca and five old recipes from the area. We also recommend you to bring a bottle of water as we walk for a while. Our tour will be outside for most of the time.
