Mediterranean Road Trips

I had a terrific holiday as I always do on my Explore trips. Everything about the holiday was enjoyable, the holiday included a nice mix of sights, scenery, towns, countryside and history. I enjoyed travelling with our group, everyone was good company, we had lots of chat and many good meals together. Our tour leader Horea was excellent, he is so knowledgeable about his wonderful country. He was always good humoured, he was always able to answer our many questions, he organised restaurants for us and he looked after us in a relaxed professional way ensuring everything went smoothly. Our driver, Stefan, was excellent too, we were in safe hands with his driving each day.

Horses was fantastic guide. Patient, kind and so knowledgeable. He was the guide in every town, castle, monastery and all the walks. We always had great food, sample the local cuisine. He engages well with all of us.

Very well planned trip, lots of opportunity to explore American sites and points of history, *personal info removed by Feefo* made the trip very fun, very informative, nothing was a issue with these guys running the trip my wife and I had the best time, our bus driver Chester was and amazing bus driver! All in all very well worth it trip, thank you to everyone involved!

An interesting tour, covering both the expected (the Dracula et al) and other less popular but interesting sites. Our leader was very knowledgeable too, with a good recall of important historical dates and people. Only negative was a bus with not so much leg room, especially for the 6 footers.

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.
