Classic Romania Tour

We booked a private 8 day tour of Romania with this travel operator and they did a fabulous job of making sure we had the best time ever!! They lined us up with a tour guide named Laurentiu. He was fantastic!!! He was extremely knowledgable of all the places we visited throughout Romania. It was all natural for him and it was not scripted and he knew the history of each sight. He was very laid back and was never in a rush. He had a great personality and a good sense of humor. He made our entire trip fun and interesting. He took us to all of the main sights on our itinerary, as well as some off the beaten path sights. We got a true understanding and feeling of what life in Romania is all about. The hotels they booked us in were all conveniently located to all of the main attractions and were all unique boutique type hotels. Lauentui knew where all the great restaurants were along the way and we ate like kings and the food was excellent. Romania is a vast and beautiful country. Everything ran smooth and was perfect. We had the best time anyone could ever ask for. We would highly recommend this company for all your travel needs throughout Romania.

Our guide Alex was fantastic. He has a great personality, a great depth of knowledge, and he is a master at finding good parking places everywhere we stopped. It really felt like taking a tour with a good friend and not just a tour guide. I highly recommend any tour that Alex is leading.

We were traveling to Romania for our son’s wedding and wanted to learn and explore as much as possible the week before. We took the small group Classic Romanian Tour and we would highly recommend this tour. It is a well-organized fast paced tour covering a lot of the country but you are never bored with interesting stops, beautiful scenery and a wonderful tour guide -Alex-who is kind, incredibly knowledgeable, great driver and willing to put up with our endless stream of questions. The hotels were perfectly situated for exploring and comfortable with good breakfasts. Romania is a beautiful country with a long and complicated history this tour is a great introduction and you will be in good hands with this tour operator.

I had the pleasure of embarking on a 8-day tour of Romania with this local travel specialist earlier this year. My husband and I were thrilled to explore the charming regions of Transylvania and Maramures and indulge in the expertise of the team. From start to finish, our tour was an exceptional experience that exceeded our expectations. Maramures is a region in Romania that is known for its stunning natural beauty and unique culture. The highlight of our tour was the traditional wooden churches that dot the countryside. These UNESCO World Heritage Sites are an incredible sight to behold, with their intricate carvings and vibrant paintings. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and significance of these churches, and we were left in awe of their beauty. Another unforgettable experience was visiting the Merry Cemetery in the town of Sapanta. This vibrant cemetery is unlike any other in the world, with colorful tombstones that tell the stories of the deceased in a humorous and lighthearted way. Our guide shared with us the fascinating history and traditions behind this unique cemetery, and we were left with a deep appreciation for the customs and culture of Maramures. Throughout our tour, we also had the opportunity to immerse ourselves in local experiences. We visited traditional markets where we sampled delicious local cheeses and meats, and we learned about the traditional crafts of the region, such as woodcarving and weaving. These experiences allowed us to truly connect with the local people and gain a deeper understanding of the culture and way of life in Romania. What really stood out to us was the expertise and passion of the team. Our guide was not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also went out of their way to ensure that we had the best possible experience. They took us to off-the-beaten-path locations that we never would have found on our own, and their enthusiasm for the region was infectious.

George, our guide was fantastic. Very personal and knowledgeable. Chatted, got to know him. Wonderful. Our driver.. wow... Amazing to watch him navigate. Felt safe the whole trip. He never was speeding or driving unsafely. Thanks so much. All the activities were great. Accommodation was spot on. Highly recommend this tour.

I had an unbelievable time -- as a solo traveler, having an itinerary so filled with essential sights. During these seven days, I met some fantastic passionate people, like Laur, my tour guide, passionate about Romania and the country's history. For those traveling in Europe, Romania is a destination you should consider; I'm not the only crazy woman traveling in eastern Europe.

"This September I opted to join this company on its 8-day Classic Tour as I was attracted by its comprehensive itinerary, and boy, I wasn't disappointed! Its programme is indeed well-conceived, allowing you to gain a deep understanding of the country's history, geography, culture and traditions. It is also a thorough one, covering some of the best urban, rural and mountainous areas. Furthermore, activities are foreseen that give you the opportunity to interact with locals of different backgrounds, thereby gaining insight of life in the country. Although the itinerary is quite a packed one, there's still enough downtime set aside in the evening to recharge your batteries. The group was also a small one, which I found to be quite positive. We were blessed with the best guide imaginable - Nicu. He is a punctual, very knowledgeable, down to earth, fluent person with a great sense of humour, who goes out of his way to ensure you have the best possible experience in his country. He was also our driver throughout the whole week, and I felt very safe as a passenger. Communication with the tour manager Nicu A. was also a very positive experience. I highly recommend travelling with this local tour operator. You're in for a treat! ;)"

We originally booked to go to Romania in 2020, but this has to be postponed, and we finally get to Romania in June. The standard of the hotels and guides was top, and we got all support despite our initial concern about traveling with a local company.
