My 10-day Romanian journey, led by our remarkable guide Marcel, was truly an unforgettable experience. Marcel's deep-rooted knowledge of the region, infectious enthusiasm, and attention to every detail made our trip a five-star adventure. From the picturesque landscapes of Transylvania to the rich cultural heritage of Bucharest, Marcel's insightful narratives brought Romania's history to life. His recommendations for local eateries introduced us to a delicious array of Romanian cuisine, making our trip both a culinary delight and a historical exploration.

Y'all, let me tell you, my 4-day Transylvania castle tour with this local travel specialist was an absolutely amazing experience! As a Texas girl, I'm used to seeing some big things, but the castles in Romania were truly something else. From the moment we arrived, the agency made us feel at home. Our tour guide was top-notch, and their knowledge of the castles and the region really added to our understanding and appreciation of this unique part of the world. We visited iconic castles like Bran Castle, famously associated with Dracula, and Peles Castle, which is an absolute masterpiece of neo-renaissance architecture. The history and stories behind these castles were absolutely fascinating, and our guide was full of interesting facts and anecdotes. Beyond the castles, we also had the chance to explore charming towns and villages, sample delicious local food, and learn about the culture and history of the region. It was a truly unique experience that I will never forget. Overall, I can confidently say that travelling with them was the best choice we could have made. Their attention to detail and commitment to ensuring that we had an unforgettable experience really made all the difference. If you're considering a trip to Romania, I highly recommend booking a tour with this agency - you won't be disappointed!

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.

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.

This was a wonderful holiday in every respect, one that we will remember for many years.The scenery, location, food, company were all great. The villa and it's hosts were superb - could not have been better. Nothing was too much trouble and they were so friendly and helpful. It was fabulous to meet new people and share the experience with them - great fun and exhilarating.

This trip gives you the ability to time travel. Starting in modern Bucharest, which has architecture and a street plan that made it worthy of the nickname 'the little Paris', then blighted by a communist period but is now gradually recovering. But the time travel really begins as the cycle tour winds its way on quiet country roads through peaceful villages which have some modern conveniences but otherwise haven't changed much in a hundred years. At times it is hard to get used to the quiet, but then the silence is broken by a chorus of barking dogs in the distance and roosters crowing in the next farmyard. Much history is covered during this week, with daily sessions to explain the progression of the various peoples that have struggled over this strategically useful territory. We visited many Saxon fortified churches from the 14th century.
