7-Day Romania Tour -Transylvania and Painted Churches

Excellent services provided with Ion’s passion! His outgoing personality brought laughing and fun to the group. His knowledge and presentation of each visiting places were impressive and full of historical information.

We are just back from an extended tour of Romania with Romania Tour Stores. It's a bespoke travel company which specialises in private tours for culture vultures. From Bucharest's Belle Epoq architecture we travelled to the cultural centre of Iasi, the painted monasteries of Moldavia, and through the fortified Saxon churches and towns of Transylvania. Finally, we arrived in the stunning city of Brasov in the Carpathians where the Austro-Hungarian influence sits on the edge of Wallachia and Byzantium. Grand hotels and traditional wooden cabins. Each day felt like being in a different age or country. A superbly organised tour of this fascinating country. We are planning a return visit next year.

The best way to see the country! The wife and I were very happy with our experience using Romania Tour Store and with our tour guide Angelica. We consider ourselves somewhat experienced travelers having been to over 20 countries. This was the first time in Romania, and the first time booking a private tour. It has completely changed how we will plan future travels based on that extraordinary experience. What a experience! This is an extremely flexible, especially stress free, and outstanding way to see Romania. The tour package was all inclusive from picking up at the airport, hotels, transportation etc. We booked at probably one of the most difficult seasons, being Christmas/New Years with many places closed down, and hotels at full capacity. Romania Tours and Angelica made magic happen to make our experience as enjoyable as possible. My advice, book with Romania tours, pick a private tour if you can and ask for Angelica. Angelica was a very personable tour guide, that devoted herself to making sure everything was the best it could be. She made great restaurant and food recommendations based on what we wanted to try. She was extremely knowledgeable, and not just about the tours being booked. She is well versed in current and historical aspects of Romania and all the things to do within the country. Also importantly she knew all the insider information to try to get us into places that may be closed at a certain time or day or finding other off the list activities should time allow. She even followed up after the tour ended to translate a souvenir inscription purchased at the end of the tour. We plan to book more private tours in the future based on how well this went and future tour operators will have high standards to live up to. We will be recommending to friends and family to take a tour of Romania and choose a private tour with Romania Tours.
