Romania Tours in Summer

An excellent overview of three Balkan countries, with a reasonable amount of free time to self explore / chill out. Itinerary was good, the only place that felt like a "filler" was Kaliarka Fortress on day 15 - I would trade this part of the itinerary for more time elsewhere (either in the Palace Gardens at Balchik, or in any of the 3 capital cities). All accommodation better than expected. The local guide was excellent, though a little nervous as it was only his second tour. A bigger bus would've been nice as there is a good amount of time spent in the vehicle (driving ca 3,200km).

The tour was GREAT - a lot was packed into the two weeks, but there was more free time than I expected. Our guide was great, very kind, thoughtful, caring and ORGANISED! We covered a LOT of miles and the minibus was pretty comfortable, and we always had regular stops. So much to see - churches, historical buildings, the Danube (!), beautiful cities and lovely countryside. I'd definitely recommend this tour if you are interested in history and culture.

Our tour leader Constantin was amazing and made sure that everyone had a fabulous time. We could not have asked for a better person. He worked hard to ensure everything went to plan, provided clear instructions for each day, gave valuable historical and cultural information and was a great guy to chat to and spend time with. He organised group dinners and arranged additional activities/visits as requested by group members eg boat trip on Danube. We had a delay at immigration on the Serbian boarder and Constantin worked hard to ensure that we held our place in the queue. Overall we were amazed by the whole trip and are very grateful to Constantine and the driver Christian for their hard work and friendship.

This itinerary is very fast paced, covering 7 countries. I'm an experienced traveler and have done many trips with Trafalgar all over the world. I would highly recommend this tour, especially for the beautiful landscapes, history and wonderful people of the Balkan countries.

Loved all the sights in both romania and hungary , one additional day in hungary would have beed nice. Romania is beautiful well preserved castles and medieval towns are wonderful. Budapest is easy to travel, beautiful Architecture and rich history. Panoramic views Are amazing. Excellent tour guides and information. The food was a but challenging for me as I am vegetarian. Otherwise an excellent experience.

It was good but didn’t include a lot of the excursions. I know that’s a personal choice,but there shouldn’t be an excursion almost every other day that one has to purchase. Same with some of the meals-more should be included in the price.
