Europe Road Trips

A really enjoyable introduction to Romania and nice overview of the country, which has given me a much better appreciation of the culture, history and landscapes. We enjoyed a good mix of activities, mostly outside the main touristy areas, including walking, visiting monasteries, medieval cities, mountains, a ride on a wood-fired steam forest train and the Danube Delta - which was the biggest highlight for me. Plenty of birdlife to see, even outside of the peak season and a nice relaxing couple of days near the end of the trip. The guide was efficient but often seemed impatient with questions. Excellent, friendly driver. However, the minibus was cramped and uncomfortable to travel in, especially during the long drives - be prepared for a few of them - and we didn't have a full group; that was the only downside for me.

A very enjoyable trip around Romania which covered a good variety of places and experiences. A mix of culture and activity. There are some stunning sights. The painted monasteries were for me one of the highlights.. Walking in the mountains with spectacular views. Birdwatching on the delta. All excellent. A great group of people and an excellent guide, Horea, and driver, Stephan. The trip exceeded my expectations and I now have a far greater appreciation of Romania’s culture, history and landscapes.

i would have liked fewer 1 night stays and more 2 night stays, with a little less driving time. the hotels and meals were great and the boat on the Danube Delta was especially relaxing and enjoyable.

Let’s just start with if it wasn’t for sam and Pete being such great travel companions and going above and beyond for us then it wouldn’t have been as good of a trip. These two went above and beyond to always make sure we were ok, safe and were always there to give advice or information wherever need me.

Florin is a great tour operator, very knowledgeable, very helpful, very nice, very comfortable on this tour, and very friendly. If I go to another tour I want him to be our guide.

I thoroughly enjoyed all the places we stopped on this trip. The worst part was the 1 night stops, which were quite exhausting and it felt like we needed another night there. Accommodation was mostly nice, however it was generally out of town and would’ve been better if closer! The itinerary was fantastic though, and the day stops, especially Mauthausen was great.
