Eastern Europe Walking Tours 2024/2025

“Gigi, thank you for the special opportunities that you provides to meet and participate in activities with locals. It was especially fun to participate in the haying, a birthday celebration and local mountain food (in an authentic mountain home).”

“I booked this trip very late (2 days before departure) and the staff in the UK office were brilliant and did everything they could for me to make sure I was able to participate in the trip. This helpfulness continued in Romania as Gigi, our guide, was exceptionally helpful at all times (even arranging for me to borrow his Brother's waterproof trousers as I had forgotten mine in my rush). Gigi is a brilliant and kind guide who adores his country, which made the trip in lots of ways. I am not particularly interested in Monasteries (I had limited choice due to the lateness of booking) but they were more interesting than I expected and the trip notes are the most accurate of any trip I have been on. I am glad I went on the trip.”

“This walk through Bucovina and Maramures takes you to another world--of painted monasteries and wooden churches, in beautiful countryside. You stay in rustic homestay houses with basic facilities but warm hospitality from the hosts. The whole experience was charming and fascinating and you learn much about Romania's proud ancient, medieval and more recent history and how, even now in the 21st Century, there are places which preserve very old architecture, traditions and way of life.”
