An extraordinary bike and travel experience

14-Jun-2023

We had an exceptional bike trip of 7 days with the Bike in time team. The bikes were top notch quality, and Ionut was a generous, engaging and very knowledgeable guide. We started our tour with a half day city tour where Ionut guided us to all the major sights and we learned so much of the history, politics and architecture of Bucharest. Our next stop was to the Dealu Mare vineyards area just outside of Bucharest which was such a beautiful spot - again biking through the countryside and finishing our day with an excellent wine tasting and dinner at a family run wine estate. From there we visited and biked 40-80 km per day throughout areas of Brasov, Talisoara and the wonderful Daniel castle, Viscri and Cartisoara. Each place we stayed was unique with warm welcomes from our hosts and delicious local cuisine. Our final day of cycling crossing the Carpathians mountains on the Transfagarasan route was an experience of a lifetime. The ascent to the top was spectacular and a challenge even on an e-bike. Then we crossed through the tunnel to descend towards the Vidaru dam on the other side. Spotted many bears, saw incredible waterfalls, passed through snow along the route - truly an exceptional experience. I would highly recommend Bike in time to anyone interested in exploring the natural and cultural beauty of Romania.

Tour of joy

22-Aug-2023

It was a perfect bicycle tour and a summary would sound like this: field flowers, stars & crickets, forest and rivers, good food, nice acommodation. We cycled in beautiful, incredibly diverse landscapes with a really nice group. I felt secure and I had a great time. It was the best experience I had this year.
