    DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY Trip2ro offered credit instead of refund due to COVID even though we asked for refund many times. Two weeks ago when we were finally meant to get our tour, they cancelled 4 days prior. We came from Australia. They offered full refund with apologies now only want to refund 1/3 of payment. They will use any excuse not to refund!

    Well-organized and perfectly executed tour! Gorgeous landscapes, beautiful castles, and fascinating history - all brought to life by our incredible guide, Serban. The trip far exceeded our expectations, in part because of Serban’s flexibility and thoughtfulness. We had several special requests – including chasing down sunsets, taking pictures in unusual locations, and singing in a castle. Serban worked his magic to bring all these experiences to life. Thank you, Serban! We’ll be back!

    Vlad was a fantastic tour guide and he made every moment of our 5 day Transylvania tour an exciting and enjoyable adventure. We three ladies were lucky to have Vlad all to ourselves on the journey and his flexibility with us was fabulous. Vlads knowledge of history was excellent. All of the hotels we stayed in were also excellent. We highly recommend a journey with tourradar through the beautiful Transylvania countryside Thank you Vlad and Tourradar. Susan. Dianna. Pauline

    The tour was excellent and Alex was incredibly knowledgeable. As I had a knee injury, I was concerned about the steps in castles and fortresses. I found all sites very manageable. There was enough free time to explore each site independently. The accommodation was excellent. All in all, a great tour. Thank you.

    Bucharest to Budapest with Trip2Ro would have to be the highlight of our journey, this tour was made even more special by George taking us to Peles Castle on Sunday afternoon as the castle would be closed Mon/Tues the castle was amazing. Our guide for the tour which actually commenced on Monday was Liviu and from our first meeting we could tell he was passionate about his country and enjoyed sharing his knowledge (of which there was an abundance). Liviu looked after us in a caring manner and took us to some amazing sites and local restaurants, he used the car trip time to brief us on the history and culture of the next site and answer any questions. We think the tour was a great experience and would highly recommend to anyone wishing to visit Romania, thank you George and Liviu for a great trip, Brian and Rae Thomas, Australia

    I was a little skeptical at first because what I thought would be a bigger tourgroup,turned out to be a personal tour. However, I will say that my tour guide was excellent and very patient. He was knowleable and entertaining. He knew the best spots in town to try new food and drinks. He also introduced me to Romanian music which I have now downloaded and will take home with me. George also knew best spots to take great pictures, which made me so happy because I have some amazing shots! The hotels I stayed in were pretty cool and unique experiences- theDracula hotel was interesting to experience. I really got to see a side of romania that I would have never experienced had I not had a my guide. I am truly looking forward to returning to Romania and bringing my friends!!!!! ❤️
