- GAGloria· October 3rd, 2018Trip review Considering the places we visited, it was an ambitious one. I believe Bucharest is a very interesting city, which deserved more than 3 hours visit. And on top of it, the guide tour, was a very mediocre one, he just gave us the minimum info, thank God I have researched it and I was able to take a free walking tour on my own... no comparison. Many of us were very disappointed to flight to Bucharest just to sleep one night and continue without having a real idea of how the city looks like. You should tell us to flight 2 or 3 days prior to star the tour to see this interesting place. The Welcoming dinner at the Hilton Hotel left much to be desired, the dried and tough peace of chicken was uneatable. The Braşov dinner and entertainment for EUR 53 was a rip off, the ribs were burnt, I had to return them, and they did not have more, so I had to wait about 30 minutes to eat after everybody was already finished their meal. I expected real Romanian delicacies because they are really nice, not what they served there. The music was average and no dancing was performed. The hotel in Veliko Tărnovo was Ok considering the area but the bench where they put my suitcase had 3 nails and my loggage was damaged. The shower drainage in The bathroom at the Sofia Hilton Hotel was overflowing and had a hard time taking shower.Show moreInsight Vacations commented on this reviewWe are delighted to hear that you thoroughly enjoyed your overall experience on the road with us.

Luke
Asked on August 2nd, 2024Is alright to bring my 2 year old son along on the trip? The sightseeing in the itinerary is it optional in some cities? When we are travel to each city can we do our own thing for a little bit, then come back when it's time to travel to the next city?
- Insight VacationsOperator•Written August 2024
Unfortunately, participants must be a minimum of 5 years old to join this particular tour. Additionally, sightseeing is optional for any trip, is there a specific day or city you have in mind so we can check? And lastly, if you're going to do your own thing or deviate from the daily itinerary, you can do so, but you have to communicate with your travel director.
