What people love about Romania Tours from Bucharest
- Private Bucharest City Break: Discover Romania's capital and Transylvania's Castles on a 3-Day PrivateTour
Overall the brief 3-day visit to Bucharest was outstanding. It is a beautiful city. Florin Gheorghe was an excellent guide. He was an extremely nice person, who cared very much about Romania and very much about guests who were visiting Romania. I am an older person, age 76, so 3 days was just right for me. Younger persons might want to visit longer and see more sites. But, even the 3-day visit was a blast! I found that Romanians throughout the many stops during the tour were kind and welcoming. Romania was very modern in many ways, but some parts of the country were scenic reminders of olden times. The architecture and history of the county are astounding. I love Romania.
