    The 5-day tour started from Bucharest to Budapest which worked well with our plans. We visited the must see attractions along the way. I travelled with my 84 year old mom and except for the climb up to Bran Castle, she was able to participate in almost all the walking activities. Alex was our tour guide. We participated in a shared tour, and we were a total of 4 guests in a 7 passenger van, so it was roomy for us. Hotel choices were excellent. All were right in the old town except for the one in Brasov but we took a $2 uber ride. Here’s the list of our hotels: Hotel Capitol (Bucharest), Kolping (Brasov), Hotel Continental Forum (Sibiu), Hotel Timisoara (Timisoara). All were 4 star hotels except the one in Brasov (3 star). Alex has an impressive work experience, all related to the tourism industry so he is very knowledgeable and provided very good information on the sites we visited. The travel days were not too long, so we had a more relaxed pace which we preferred. We opted not to stop for lunch at sit-down restaurants, but rather as a group agreed to just get something quick at a snack bar during our free time (we were allotted from 1-2 hrs at each stop). Restaurant service in most Romanian restaurants take so long that it can easily take up to 2 hours from ordering to finishing your meal. Totally enjoyed this tour, our small group of 4 got along that we always went out together for dinner and drinks in the evenings. The tour gave us a quick overview of the popular tourist attractions of Romania. I hope to make it back and stay much longer at each place and see other parts that was not part of this itinerary. For those with limited time like us during this trip, book with this company, it is a great value and hope you get Alex as your guide. Thanks, Alex for a job well done and passing on great information about your country and very interesting insights and personal experiences to us.

    We weren't sure what to expect from Romania but it was an absolute gem. The sights we saw on our trip were outstanding and everyone was so friendly that we would recommend the trip to anyone and TRIP2RO deserve a huge amount of credit for a great agenda and a great guide (Radu). We were picked up dead on time at our hotel by Radu in his car (there were only the two of us booked on the tour) and were taken to the sites you would expect but Radu was so flexible with the agenda that we went to some out of the way places off the tourist trail that were simply beautiful. On the journey between the different locations Radu used his extensive knowledge and love of his country to give us all the relevant historical information about his country. All of the hotels we stayed in were excellent and very close to the historical centres and food and drink spots. The last day was a long drive to Budapest but with a couple of "technical" stops and 3 days in Budapest on our own it was a chance to reflect on what had been a wonderful trip to a beautiful country. George and Radu deserve a great deal of credit for creating a flexible itinerary rather than a strict tick-list tour and we would have no hesitation in going back to Romania for another of their tours to see more of this beautiful country.
