  A fantastic journey around Romania. Thoroughly enjoyable, a great itinerary and our guide, George, answered all our questions and looked after everyone on the tour. As well as being a mine of information, he had a great sense of humour which greatly added to the experience. Happy with all the hotels and all the sights - it was a great introduction to a fascinating country and its history. The included airport transfers were greatly appreciated, even when staying a few days in Bucharest after the tour ended. The only things I would suggest is that maybe there was too much time at Turda rather than spending more time in Sibiu, and also at Bran Castle rather than Sinaia, but that is a personal preference. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting an introduction to the country.Show more

  Excellent tour. Our guide/driver was Traian. We had booked the group tour option, but it was only the 2 of us, so it ended up being a private tour. Traian was very accommodating and informative. Our biggest disappointment though was the size of the car (VW Jetta). It felt very cramped, especially on the many long drives. A vehicle with more leg room would have been much more comfortable. All of the hotels were very nice and well-located. However, our stay in Iasi (Grand Hotel Traian) was less than satisfactory. It was very noisy, lasting until past 10pm and the breakfast service was lacking--food was out, but there was no one around to fulfill any requests.Show more

  Thank you very much for your detailed review. We’re really glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour overall and that Traian made your experience informative and enjoyable. He will be very happy to receive your feedback. Regarding the vehicle, we sincerely appreciate you sharing how it felt for you during the longer drives. Even though the tour was booked as a shared experience and the VW Jetta is the standard car category for two participants, we completely understand that comfort is essential — especially on multi-day itineraries. Your comment is very valuable, and we will reassess this option for two-person bookings to make sure our guests feel fully comfortable throughout the trip. We are also sorry that your stay at the Grand Hotel Traian in Iași did not meet expectations. Your observations about the noise and the breakfast service are very helpful, and we will pass them along to the hotel’s management. We aim for a consistent level of quality in every part of our tours, and your feedback helps us get closer to that goal. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience with us. Your insights help us improve, and we hope to welcome you back for an even more comfortable and memorable trip.

  The tour of Romania greatly exceeded our expectations. There was enough activity every day so that the tour didn't lag. Each day, it seemed, there was a particular surprise that made the day special. The guide, Emil, was wonderful: we can't say enough positive about him. He had a very sophisticated understanding not only of his country, which of course you would expect, and the larger Eastern European region, but I was very impressed with his understanding of the United States in particular. In addition to everything else, he was a very nice guy--humorous, witty, very quick mentally. This guy is a keeper!Show more

  Thank you so much for this incredible feedback! We’re delighted to hear that your tour of Romania exceeded expectations and that each day brought a special surprise. Emil will be overjoyed to know how much you appreciated not only his deep knowledge of Romania and Eastern Europe, but also his insights into the United States — and of course, his humor and quick wit. He truly enjoys connecting with travelers on many levels, and your kind words are the best recognition he could receive. We’re grateful you took the time to share your experience, and we’d be honored to welcome you back for more adventures in Romania!

  The tour was good. there are a lot of cities visited. The drives are long between cities. They should allocate 2 days stay in hotel in the middle of the tour. It was difficult to pack and go every night.until we reached Bucharest and then there is 2 night stay at the end of the tour.the hotels were good. Specially the Log cabin in the mountains. We also think that the tour everyday started too late, that is why there is traffic and longer drives. They should start the day by 8 am. That way you are at the sites earlier and don’t get caught in traffic. The restaurant are not accommodating with regards to separate payments for meals when there is a group sitting together. The tour should inform the restaurant’s they use that there should be options to pay separately for each travellers or if they don’t provide this service the tourist should have the option to sit separately or go to a different restaurant.Show more

  Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback — we truly appreciate it. We’re glad you enjoyed the variety of places visited and the quality of the hotels, especially the log cabin in the mountains. We understand your points about pacing. With a tour that aims to show the best of Romania, covering a wide area inevitably means longer drives, though we always work to balance comfort with sightseeing. In some regions, two nights in one place would reduce daily travel, but it would also mean leaving out certain highlights that make this tour special. Regarding start times, we try to adapt to the group’s rhythm — ensuring everyone has time to rest and enjoy breakfast — while also managing traffic as best as possible. Your observation is valuable, and we will review how we can improve this balance. On restaurants, while guides do their best to select varied options, policies on separate payments are ultimately up to the venues. We agree this should be handled better and encourage our guides to assist on the spot whenever possible. Your insights help us refine the experience, and we thank you for both the compliments and the constructive notes. We’re delighted Romania left you with lasting memories, and we’d be happy to welcome you again in the future.

  My husband and I did a private 8 night, 9 day tour with Mihai as our guide. Sophia was incredible designing a tour perfect for us - right pace, perfect balance of history, scenery, culture, cuisine and accommodation (guest houses where possible). Sophia was fast to respond to any queries I had, and communication was clear and precise. Mihai was the perfect guide or us, as he quickly understood what we were hoping to see and do in Romania (and worked out quickly we were enjoying Romanian cuisine!). He was a safe driver, knowledgeable, and has an infectious personality. We had a lot of fun with Mihai. Romania was an extremely pleasant surprise as a destination for my husband and I, and we would like to return one day.Show more

  What a joy to read your words — thank you! We're thrilled the experience felt so personal and balanced, and that both Sophia and Mihai made your journey through Romania seamless and memorable. It’s great to hear Mihai’s energy and insight added that extra spark to your adventure (and that the cuisine hit the mark too!). Romania is full of surprises, and it would be a pleasure to welcome you back anytime.

  My wife and I enjoyed the tour very much. Traian was a great guide, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful; it was especially appreciated that he gave us some space and free time to explore and experience places by ourselves. Highlights for us were: the home cooked lunch in Viscri and the traditional Romanian dinner in Voronet; Bran Castle; the drive through Bicaz gorge; the city of Brasov; and the painted monasteries of Bucovina. However, there were some challenges and so things you might consider looking at: the Europa Royale Hotel is opposite The Urbanlist venue which had very loud music playing until 2am the nights we were there which greatly disturbed our sleep; the general area around the hotel was frequented by strange looking men that made the area feel unsafe; we would have liked to stay 2 nights in Brasov to see more of the city; and there was some communication problem with our transfer to the airport on our last day which lead to a stressful situation for us.Show more

  Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. We're very happy to hear that you enjoyed your time with Traian and the many special moments along the way, from Viscri to the painted monasteries. At the same time, we’re truly sorry that parts of your trip weren’t as comfortable as they should have been. We regret that the hotel environment affected your stay and that the airport transfer issue caused you unnecessary stress. Please know that your comfort and peace of mind are just as important to us as the experiences themselves. We really appreciate your honesty — and we are grateful you still found joy in the journey. If you ever consider returning to Romania, we would be honored to help plan a smoother and even more memorable visit.
