Romania 10-Day Tours and Trips

Dont hesitate to visit Romania and explore Transylvania by bicycle. At the moment there is little tourism there and Transylvania remains bucolic, tranquil and unspoilt, as it has done for centuries. I was impressed by the abundance of growth everywhere, the wild flowers by the roadside, nesting storks on village roofs and soaring eagles overhead, gypsies in traditional dress, the horses and carts and well cared for domestic animals. It really is like something out of Lark Rise to Candleford truly idyllic farming country out of a picture book, where here and there time appears to have stood still. Go before it changes, and visit the ancient, medieval citadels and Saxon Lutheran fortified churches. And cycling is a good way to meet Romanians, eat their delicious home-cooked food and see behind the doors of the brightly painted cottages, which front each villages main street.

A wonderful tour with an amazing guide who is passionate about his country and people. We experienced true Romanian hospitality every day and enjoyed the culture and countryside in a way that was only possible because of our guide, Gigi.

Last month I returned from a 10 day tour in Romania. The itinerary was perfect, covering the highlights of Romania with hotels in the city center. We started the tour with a private transfer from the airport to Bucharest city center. The next day, we went to Transylvania crossing the superb Carpathian Mountains continue with Bukovina and Iasi. Our tour guide Gelu give us his entire attention coming every time with new and exciting details about Romanian history.

Just got back from an amazing week of cycling in this lovely country. Our leaders, Tudor and Livio were wonderful, so kind and considerate, so knowledgeable about this history and culture of their country, superb English, they made this trip fun and interesting. The cycling was challenging on varied road surfaces but the scenery, views of the mountains and seeing rustic farming methods, scythes, horses & carts etc more than compensated. At the end of a hot day of cycling Livio was there offering cold beer and watermelon. At each comfort stop he was there with coffee, tea, a sweet from the region and fruit. Nothing was too much trouble. The accommodation was great, very clean and comfortable, and the hosts welcoming. As a vegetarian I was well catered for. I can recommend this holiday.

The trip to Romania was amazing. Highly recommend. Razvan and Geo were great. Our safety, enjoyment and comfort were their priority at all times. I was a bit worried about dogs running out at us but 90 % of them weren't interested , and with the few that were, Razvan and Geo knew just how to deal with them and they shooed away easily. We learnt a lot about Romanian social and political culture and visited some great places on the itinerary. If you have an extra day in Bucharest I recommend the outdoor museum , allow the best part of a day for this.

really truly surprising place quiet unspoilt clean friendly , good wi fi , mobile phone and yet really untouched by 2oth centuary cars a variety , and then the fortified churches we all yawn ,but with this trip each and everyone has its own special charm . Good varied acheivable ride in deepest quiet untouched country side
