All of the recommended restaurants we ate in were without exception ' brilliant ' The sights included on the trip were breathtaking ( my 13 year old son loved Bran castle Dracula's home!! ) The coach was comfy and our...

We arranged our stay with untravelled paths and it was great from start to finish!!! We had to wait a bit to get cable car up as the guys who run it went to lunch! Bizarre as we and one other couple were their only customers all day! Bad timing. We had bright blue skies which made views up amazing!... More

For those of us who progressed some time ago from backpacking, and being somewhat reluctant to place our trip in the hands of others, all I can say is Untravelled Paths, James, Christina, you surpassed our expectations ...plus some! The transport, the locations and quality of the hotels, tip top! Bucharest, a darkly interesting city. The Castle at Bran was... More

A Christmas night like never before! A fantastic experience to have Christmas dinner and stay in the Ice Hotel. Our group was a diverse mix of like minded people who all got on. Untravelled Paths were well organised and flexible with timings to suit the group. Definately would recommend them to others. More

I booked my trip earlier this year and stayed in the ice hotel. I booked via Untravelled Paths because their rates were really good so i spoke to a very nice guy who explained the itinerary. It was such an amazing experience which i will never forget. I also had a 4 course meal at the hotel where I got... More

With all my travels, I'm a little late with this review of course but nevertheless...you WILL want to go here!!! I went for a second time to stay with the wonderful people at Secret Transylvania and knowing I have an adventurous side, they planned a wonderful 'surprise' day for us. I won't give the entire surprise away, but the end... More

What an experience! I travelled to the Ice Hotel at Balea Lac with Untravelled Paths in February 2011 and I can safely say it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life! The unique and spectacular location is really one of a kind, set at an altitude of 2000m and accessible only by a cable car ride above... More

Looked for a quick holiday - at short notice - somewhere different - and found the Ice Hotel! Booked with "Untravelled Paths". So glad we did as everything was easy, life was relaxing and fun and Cristina, our guide, was great. More
