We have two travellers interested in tour options exploring Romania in 2027, with a specific interest in tours that finish in Bucharest around the 17th of June.

At the moment, we do not have a standalone Romania itinerary. However, we do have a couple of fantastic trips that include Romania as part of a broader Eastern European journey. Budapest to Bucharest is a 10-day adventure through Hungary and Romania. Highlights include Budapest's beautiful architecture, the wine region of Eger, the traditional villages of Maramures, the medieval towns of Transylvania, Bran Castle, and a homestay experience in Viscri before finishing in Bucharest. It is a great mix of history, culture, local experiences, and scenic landscapes. Alternatively, our Eastern Europe Express begins in Bucharest and travels through Romania and Bulgaria before ending in Istanbul. This 10-day journey showcases the cultural diversity of the region, combining historic cities, mountain scenery, traditional villages, and unique local experiences as you travel across several countries. If you are looking for a longer trip, we also offer the Eastern Europe Explorer, a 19-day journey through some of Eastern Europe's most fascinating destinations. This itinerary includes the highlights of Romania, such as Transylvania, Brasov, Viscri, and Bucharest, while also exploring Hungary and Bulgaria. Along the way, you'll experience medieval towns, mountain landscapes, local family hospitality, historic churches, wine regions, and some of the region's most significant cultural and historical sites.

It arrives in Istanbul just one day before the last day of the tour. Do you know the approximate time of arrival in Istanbul? There would be no time to explore the city the next day (flight leaving) and I can't extend my tour.

The border crossing from Bulgaria to Turkey is very popular and long queues are unavoidable. We don't advise planning any activities in Istanbul that day, as your arrival time may vary.

Is there any extra single supplement? Is the price shown, $4,100 for 1 person, for a 4-star hotel lodging, or what level? Is there another price for adding on a 1-day Istanbul tour at the end?

The price for this trip is USD $4,100 for 1 person in twin shared accommodations. You will be paired with another solo of the same gender. A single supplement is bookable on this trip, excluding Day 6. Availability is limited due to small properties we use. If you would like to add on the single supplement the additional cost would be USD $1,025. This trip is an "Original" style trip, these are our classic small group adventures and the foundation for the whole Intrepid experience. Local homestay experiences are featured on many of these itineraries and you can expect 3- 3.5 star accommodations on average. We are not able to arrange a 1-day custom tour of Istanbul but we do offer a few different options. Optional Activities: Istanbul - Hagia Sophia - EUR25, Istanbul - Archaeology Museum - TRY340, Istanbul - Museum of Turkish and Islamic Arts - TRY390, Istanbul - Galata Tower - TRY650, Istanbul - Bosphorus Boat Cruise (Public Boat) - TRY200.

I am looking at the Eastern European Explorer tour but wanted to not do the last days to Istanbul. Is it possible to leave the tour at Plovdiv? Is there any discount for doing this?

If you wish to sign off the trip in Plovdiv you are more than welcome too. Just let the leader know and they will provide you with a sign off form. However, since you are choosing to do this we are not able to discount the trip for any of the unused days as its all bundled together as a package.

Is it correct that carrying bags is the responsibility of the client?

On this trip its best that you pack as lightly as possible because you will be expected to carry your own bag and although you won't be required to walk long distances with your luggage (max 30 minutes), we strongly recommend keeping the weight under 15kg / 33lb. Most travelers carry their luggage in a backpack, although an overnight bag with a shoulder strap would suffice if you travel lightly. Smaller bags or backpacks with wheels are convenient although we recommend your bag has carry straps to accommodate the cobbled streets, uneven surfaces, stairs and steps you are likely to encounter while carrying your luggage. You'll also need a day pack/bag to carry water and a camera etc for day trips. On a group tour or travelling on your own in Eastern Europe, I would say that 2 large suitaces will be very difficult as there will always be times where you will need to wheel your bags around.

Will I be able to get my own room? What about the 10% discount? I live in South Africa with a weak currency so every bit counts.

A single supplement for ZAR 15,480 is bookable on this trip, excluding Day 6. Availability is limited due to small properties we use. The trip is currently on sale for ZAR 60,746 after the discount.

what number of people on the tour?

Currently for our 2024 departures we do not have any one booked just yet! But from 2023 numbers the trip is quite popular and averaging 9-12 travelers in the summer months!

Amazing tour!!!! The tour leader was one of the most fun leaders I have seen. She had so much energy and warmness. Many of the destinations on this tour were not the typical tourist type places, but that was refreshing. I especially enjoyed Sarajevo. In fact the whole tour was worth it because of this unexpected beautiful city. I would love to have spent more time there. Kotor was also especially beautiful! I highly recommend a hike to the mountains for a view over the town and a swim in the lake. If you decide to visit these countries I strongly recommend researching about the history before hand. A small group of people on the day trip in Sarajevo did not listen to the guide and missed out through not understanding the places visited. I felt bad for the guide as he did an amazing job to explain the difficult very recent history of the country. I read the book ‘The Cellist of Sarajevo’ before I visited, which helped add more context to my historical knowledge of the region.Show more

We can't wait to show you some more beautiful places around the world that "aren't your typical tourist type places", we pride ourselves on showing our customers authentic locations. Until then - stay Intrepid!

Excellent tour! Got a taste of a lot of places (although it would be nice to spend a second night at some of the spots, just to get a real feel for the place), and had a variety of experiences. The night out in the village was one of the highlights; the ladies were awesome! Loved and hated the bear sanctuary, for reasons that hopefully are obvious; keep that on the tour for sure, and add the roller coaster type ride as a possible extra activity while you're there. Was not impressed with the walking tour guide in Plovdiv; finding a replacement wouldn't be a bad idea, if she's a regular for the tour. The first supper wasn't the best place to be, in my opinion, but the last one definitely made up for it. Casper.... is amazing. Totally Dutch; honest and helpful, practical and resourceful. Excellent leader, and always looking out for everyone. Awesome job.Show more

Smaller bags or backpacks with wheels are convenient although we recommend your bag has carry straps to accommodate the cobbled streets, uneven surfaces, stairs and steps you are likely to encounter while carrying your luggage. You'll also need a day pack/bag to carry water and a camera etc for day trips. On a group tour or travelling on your own in Eastern Europe, I would say that 2 large suitaces will be very difficult as there will always be times where you will need to wheel your bags around.
