    George was a truly exceptional tour guide. Having lived through Romania's difficult Communist era as a child, his deep understanding of the country's history was palpable. He generously shared his personal experiences of that time, offering us a profound insight into the daily lives of Romanians during those challenging years. His insightful historical context, combined with his extensive knowledge, professionalism, and warm personality, made the tour incredibly enriching. To top it off, George recommended fantastic local restaurants where we could savor authentic Romanian cuisine. I wholeheartedly recommend him!

    My wife and I enjoyed the tour very much. Traian was a great guide, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful; it was especially appreciated that he gave us some space and free time to explore and experience places by ourselves. Highlights for us were: the home cooked lunch in Viscri and the traditional Romanian dinner in Voronet; Bran Castle; the drive through Bicaz gorge; the city of Brasov; and the painted monasteries of Bucovina. However, there were some challenges and so things you might consider looking at: the Europa Royale Hotel is opposite The Urbanlist venue which had very loud music playing until 2am the nights we were there which greatly disturbed our sleep; the general area around the hotel was frequented by strange looking men that made the area feel unsafe; we would have liked to stay 2 nights in Brasov to see more of the city; and there was some communication problem with our transfer to the airport on our last day which lead to a stressful situation for us.
