I would like to know how much it would be to make this trip in a single room.

For a solo traveler, the price is €3,235 in single room. You will travel privately with a driver and local guides at Bucharest up to Sofia, where you will then join the small group tour from Sofia.

Can you tell me the difference between a twin and a double room? How do we book this tour with another couple that we would like to travel with? Is there a tour # or identifier that we should use to ensure we are traveling together on the same tour?

The difference between a twin and a double room is that a twin room has two separate single beds, while a double room has one large bed for two people. To book this tour for two couples, follow these steps: Visit the tour page and click check availability. Select your desired dates and click confirm dates. After confirming, you'll be redirected to a new page. In Step 1, under 'How many are traveling?', select 4. In Step 2, choose 2 travelers for a Double or Twin Room and 2 travelers for a Double Room, this ensures you are booking two rooms: 1 twin and 1 double room. Steps 3 to 5 involve entering traveler information and completing payment.

If there's not enough travelers will it still happen? Even if it is just one or two? Or do you suggest looking at another trip with more people going?

the trip from Bucharest to Athens on May 1st is confirmed. If you're interested, we'd be delighted to welcome you on board.

Irina was an amazing guide for our first trip to Romania. She was very knowledgeable about the history of Romania and its cultural and political landscape. Was interesting to see and learn about life in Romanian capitals and to see the countryside. Absolutely loved our trip through Transylvania it did not disappoint. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get an excellent overview of Romanian culture. Irina was amazing and went above and beyond beyond to make our tour a great start to our holiday. Thanks Irina.Show more
