Customer Reviews

  • Anthony
    · September 22nd, 2025
    This tour had three separate segments that were lead by three separate tour guides. Segment 1 Romania and Bulgaria: This was a great tour we visited Transylvania as well as The capital of Bucharest. Then we spent two days in Bulgaria. The tour was great and our tour guide, Crina was wonderful. The second segment was the Balkans. We left Bulgaria and visited all the former republics of Yugoslavia minus Slovenia Plus Albania. It was truly amazing. Our tour guide, Simon was very good. The third leg was central Europe. It was only OK and the tour guide could have been better.

    Asked on March 29th, 2024

    Do you have a later start date in December for this tour or in fact any other of your tours. We would like to commence around the 18th or 20th December.

    Tour Details
    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten April 2024

      For now, the available start dates for our Best Of Transylvanian Christmas Markets tour in December are Friday, December 6th, 2024, and Friday, December 13th, 2024. We currently do not have later start dates around the 18th or 20th of December. However, our tour dates for 2025 are currently being updated, please stay updated as new dates may become available in the next couple of months.

      TravelerWritten April 2024

      We particularly need to travel starting on either the 18th or 19th December as our adult daughter can only travel then as it is her Christmas break/summer holiday. So, commencing 18th/19th December and finishing the 29th/30th December.

    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten April 2024

      Unfortunately, we do not offer tours starting on the 18th or 19th of December. Our available departures are scheduled for the 6th, 8th, and 13th of December. You may need to explore other travel companies or check Tour Radar's website for tours on your preferred dates.

    Yvonne

    Asked on September 17th, 2023

    I'd like to book this tour but I am a solo traveller. Will there be a single traveller supplement if I travel alone? Will I have to share a room with a stranger? I'd prefer my own room.

    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten September 2023

      The prices that are advertised on the website are for shared accommodation. If you choose to stay in a shared room, you will be roomed with another solo traveller of the same sex unless you have a friend travelling with you. But if you wish, you can still have your own private room by paying a single supplement. The cost of a single supplement on the 9th of December departure is an additional 424 USD. Please note that a single supplement can only be added after booking the tour.

      Yvonne

      TravelerWritten September 2023

      If I want to book my own hotels but join the tour, can that be accommodated? What is the rate for just the tour with no accommodation?

    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten September 2023

      Regrettably, we must inform you that in order to join one of our tours, you must purchase the whole tour package. Otherwise, we would be unable to accommodate you in the group.
