What people love about Romania Tours from Bucharest
Our tour guide was amazing! Bogdan always had great food recommendations and was very knowledgeable of the places we visited. If we asked a question he didn't know the answer to (while rare) he would talk to the locals to find the answer for us. Felt very safe traveling through Romania and it was great to see so many wonderful places. Since the day we started our tour, Peles Castle was closed, Bogdan rearranged some of our visits so we would be able to see it later in the trip. The castle was truly gorgeous and created by talented craftsmen and it would have been a major disappointment to miss. The woodcarvings (and spiral staircase was to die for). And I'm so happy I was able to see them. Also Libearty Sanctuary was great.
