Great experience overall, again largely thanks to our brilliant guide!
A great trip I would highly recommend to those interested in this style of travel, made all the more enjoyable thanks to the skill & dedication of our wonderful tour leader!
This trip truly lets you experience rural Romanian life, while still having the balance of a bustling metro city-travel as well. I feel very satisfied with how much I was able to see/experience in both Romania and Bulgaria, which I most likely would not have been able to do if I was travelling on my own. Our guide Nicoletta was PHENOMENAL, seriously she made the trip 10x more amazing - thank you Nicoletta!!
Overall a great trip! You get to see a lot in a short time without it feeling rushed
We had a great trip overall and Flavia our guide and the other members made if all the more memorable.
Fantastic first trip with G Adventures as a solo traveler, was very lucky to have a fantastic CEO and lovely people in the group from all across the world. Looking forward to booking another trip for sure!
I enjoyed the sites and the cities that we stopped in (especially the winery, as the host was lovely), but the "adventure" part of the trip was lacking. But I have always enjoyed G Adventures' trips and will continue to book with them
I enjoyed this trip, it has been on my bucket list for awhile. I thought group was to large 17 people instead of the usual 12. The best part of the trip was Romania where this is where we were the longest. We got to really enjoy the county. The wine vineyard was the best and staying overnight was the highlight of the trip. Jan was the best guide to handle 17 individuals.
