    The five day tour was well organized from beginning to end, Alex was always on-time. The itinerary was well timed with sufficient free time to explore on our own. The hotels were well located and selected. The places we visited were interesting and Alex gave excellent cultural knowledge information. The trip was very comfortable, safe and having a local guide who could speak and communicate made things a breeze. Alex provides a lot of historical facts which are great if you are interested in learning more about Romanian history.

    Alex explained Transylvania while thoroughly demystifying the place. Still, the raw beauty of the landscapes and the virtue of Romania's people continues to amaze.

    The Tour was interesting and Romania and the Romanian people are kind and welcoming. Our Tour Guide Paul was both helpful and knowledgeable and explained everything in great detail giving context to what we saw and providing us with a greater understanding of the Country. people, History, Geography and Politics. Paul looked after us very well and is a true professional.

    We need a tour that goes roundtrip from Budapest in a week. Do you know of any? Would you go to Bucharest and come by bus back or do the buses go back and forth between the two cities?

      1. Hotel by the station? 2. Is the train advisable and is one better than the other? 3. Anything else to warn us about?? 4. Do the tour buses go back to Budapest? Maybe we could book a trip back with one. Is this refundable if things don't work out?
