We had an amazing time, the guides knowledge about the country and history was excellent, they were friendly and approachable. We learnt a lot and enjoyed the tour very much, I would highly recommended the tour.
- Transylvanian Village Life in the Carpathian Mountains: An Eco-Certified Experience
We had a wonderful experience. We had a great guide whose passion for the mountains and the people was infectious. The guesthouses were great with the owners going out of their way to give us the best possible experience.
- Classic Romania Tour (small group)
We had a wonderful time in Romania and the best way to see it is to go with the Classic Romania Tour, just like we did. The hotels were great and our tour guide was awesome, such a knowledgeable guy who'd grown up in the country side so he provided us many interesting stories about rural life in Romania. Totally worth it!
