Romania Art and architecture Trips

Very interesting and varied tour, scenery and towns visited were fabulous. Both Raz and Geo, the guides, were extremely personable, knowledgeable and helpful. Maybe an extra day or two of cycling would have been nice as you just wanted it to keep going :)

Enjoyable 4 days with excellent itinerary. The group leader was informative and was good at keeping the group together. The restaurants that she chose for the group to eat at were excellent. Explore use local people as group leaders who have good local knowledge. The guest house owner was very friendly and the dinner we had on arrival was an excellent example of Romanian home cooking. She cooked a memorable meal.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Transylvania. The itinerary was packed with interesting things to do, so the trip felt longer than the few days it actually was. The only downside was that, despite our tour leader's best efforts to contact the ranger, we were unable fit in a second bear visit. We were lucky to have a fantastic group who bonded really well, and Rux, our tour leader was outstanding. One point of feedback is that it would have been useful to know in advance (ie. in the pre-tour info) roughly how much local currency we needed to take for tips, splitting meal bills, etc. We did the tour after it being recommended by a friend and we'll definitely be recommending it to our friends too!

Accommodation and itinerary were as described. Our Tour Leader was exceptional in all aspects of her job, keeping us informed, entertained and pandering to the needs of challenging group members.

We had a fantastic long weekend in Transylvania. Our guide, Rux, was excellent – extremely knowledgeable, patient, and professional throughout the trip. The itinerary was very well thought out and gave us the chance to experience so much in just a few days. The highlight for us was definitely the bear watching, which was an unforgettable experience. Be prepared – this is a full-on trip with long days and early starts, but it’s packed with activities and well worth it for everything you get to see and do. Highly recommended!

The itinerary for the 14-day Balkan Adventure tour is a bit difficult for individuals with reduced mobility. However, it is worth it. Most of the visits are done at an acceptable pace given two exceptions in Bulgaria and Serbia. One of the passenger on our summer 2025 tour was 82 years old and she was able to negotiate the tour in an acceptable fashion and she was always positive and in a good mood during her journey!
