    We have just completed our tour of Romania and Bulgaria and found it to be excellent. The booking procedure was straightforward and well executed from start to finish and the tour itself with Adrian, our guide and driver exceeded our expectations.

    Our guides were excellent, our transportation and lodging was well organized. Our guests houses were pretty good. The cycling was very good on bikes that were able to get the job done. We were able to develop our own maps for cycling, but provided routes would have been better. With hot weather, some of the guest houses should have at least provided fans. Overall a positive experience and one that I will recommend. Thank you!
