      Could you also let me know the approximate costs for the additional dinners? If the tour is paid in cash, would there be another discount?

      Liam

      TravelerWritten February 2025

      One of us does not drink alcohol so wouldn't need the wine with the meals. Is there an alternative for a beverage?

    • World Synergy TravelOperatorWritten February 2025

      Sure, we can arrange for a soft drink instead of the wine.

    • L

      Liam

      TravelerWritten February 2025

      If my husband and I are the only people taking the tour, would it be possible to add a day to visit Cluj?

    • World Synergy TravelOperatorWritten February 2025

      The tour will be open for bookings until April, so other people may join until then. We can customize any tour but this would have to be a private tour, with additional costs.

    • L

      Liam

      TravelerWritten February 2025

      Is it possible for just my husband to purchase the meals and tasting package? I don't drink alcohol and am not a big eater. The brandy tasting is of no use to me. Could I accompany him to the restaurants and just order off the menu?

    • L

      Liam

      TravelerWritten March 2025

      We were looking at the downloaded brochure and noticed that for every day, there is an optional dinner listed. However, on the website, there are 7 meals and 1 brandy tasting that we can pay for. Can you clarify if the website is correct or the brochure?
