This guided birding trip for two included three nights based in Mila 23 to tour the Delta and three nights in Tulcea to tour the Dobrogea countryside. Birding guide Marius and boatman Janut were brilliant at finding our target species and helping us get good looks at them, while also respecting the welfare of the birds. Marius speaks English well and went out of his way to ensure we knew and saw the field marks for confident identification.
The hotel in Mila 23 is beautiful and the food delicious, though the quantities a bit overwhelming. The hotel in Tulcea is basic but clean and comfortable.
Tour costs are posted clearly on the company website. The 221 euros/person/night was a splurge for us but the good organization, expert guiding, friendly company, and insights offered into Romanian culture made it worth it for us.

A couple with a young child, the private trip was exquisite. From the first contact eith Calina at the office, were all answers answered helpfully, friendly and professionaly to the tour itself guided by the wonderful Iliuţa ... a kind, knowledgable guide, who was patient, modest, explained everything wewanted and more, was attuned to our interests and needs, as well as our 8 years old.. it was a beatiful journey in unspoiled nature, despite the cold weather it was warm in the heart , exciting and unique. Our hosts at the MILA23 hotel and the village we went to were great, food .. I can't describe, honemade local fresh fish, pastry, Mamaliga, Gogoş, wine , just unbeleivable. I can't thank enough and recommend enough. Actually, whatever you need you'll be taken care of. Highly recommend the private tour which enables choosing, stopping, enjoying nature in serenity, DESCUPRA DELTA DUNARII is the best. And you ended feeling it was YOUR adventure, as the guide does just that, guide you, tell you stories but does not impose anything. An experience to cherish for life
We had three full days birdwatching / photographic tours out of Mila. Already the trip from Tulcea by a small boat was a superb experience in itself going through small channels & lakes avoiding the main river flow. Our guide had a superior knowledge both of the area and its wildlife, providing many interesting insights, including into the fragility and dangers to which this eco system is exposed from human interference, helping us to better understand and greatly enriching the value of this tour. We have spent the time basically without seeing other boats / people and so could focus on watching and enjoying the experience in this unique natural setting. From start to end all was perfectly organized and handled, customer orientation was superior.
