We truly enjoyed this short discovery tour and had an amazing experience throughout the journey. Each day offered something new, from the beautiful scenery of Bulgaria to the impressive architecture and atmosphere of Bucharest. The guide was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and always well organized, which made the trip smooth and stress-free. The itinerary was perfectly balanced, combining guided sightseeing with enough free time to explore on our own. An excellent and memorable 4-day tour!Show more
