    Hi John, thank you for your feedback , on all our tours we use local guides , they know their country better than anyone else , they may not able to speak perfect English like a native English spoken person , they do speak very well enough to communicate with all passengers throughout the tour. Once again thank you for your view , wish you all the best.

    Juan

    Asked on December 12th, 2025

    Is this tour refundabable in case our visa is denied?

    Payments
    Visa
    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten December 2025

      Unfortunately, the tour is non-refundable in the event of a visa denial, as per our booking terms and conditions. Visa approval is the responsibility of the traveller, and we are unable to offer refunds or credits if a visa is refused. For this reason, we strongly recommend that all travellers obtain comprehensive travel insurance that covers visa-related issues where available, as any eligible costs may be claimed directly through the insurance provider.

    Alan

    Asked on November 22nd, 2025

    We are 5 adults. The 31 year old has a foot injury that prevents her from walking more than an hour. Is there any way to allow her to sit on the bus, or stay in the hotel, or walk for a shorter time than the rest of the group? Alternatively, could we book a private tour with a smaller van that could more easily accommodate us? Also, 2 of us are vegan. Can we find food? What would be the cost if we could have a private tour?

    Tour Details
    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten November 2025

      1️⃣ Private Tour Option: Unfortunately, we do not operate private tours, a group of 5 would still need to cover the full cost of at least 12 passengers. For this reason, we can only offer our regular scheduled departures. 2️⃣ Passenger With Foot Injury: Please note that this itinerary includes daily walking tours, uneven surfaces, stairs, old towns, and extended periods on foot. If the passenger is unable to walk for more than one hour, she may find the tour challenging. She is welcome to Stay at the hotel and skip activities. Some attractions do not allow the bus to stay parked, Some towns require walking only, The guide must continue with the group, and cannot remain with passengers who do not join the tour. Because of this, her participation in several included visits may be limited. 3️⃣ Vegan Meals: Yes — vegan options are generally available throughout Romania and Bulgaria. Please also inform the tour leader at the start so they can help with recommendations.

    Zoe

    Asked on February 1st, 2025

    Since the entrance fees are not included in the tour price, does that mean that we can opt out of paying some of them if we are not interested in visiting a certain place? So for example, if I do not want to go into the Turda salt mine, do I still need to pay the 10 Euros?

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten February 2025

      No, you are not required to pay for entrance fees to sites you choose not to visit. If you decide not to enter the Turda Salt Mine, for example, you will not need to pay the 10 Euros and will only participate in the sightseeing portion of the stop.

      We kindly ask our senior passengers to book their own room for their own comforrt throughout the trip, yet if you wish to stay on shared basis, it's also possible.
