8 Days Private Tour in Bucovina and Transylvania from Bucharest

Thank you George for a wonderful private tour of Romania! Your attention to detail was excellent and your knowledge of Romania and it’s history is exceptional. We couldn’t not have had a better guide!

We had a fabulous 8 day tour of Romania with George as our knowledgeable, funny, and outstanding guide. As a former journalist, he knows the history and culture of Romania and how to communicate its significance. His attention to detail, recommendations for restaurants, activities and the customized itinerary were over the top. He accommodated our every need from bottled water to restaurant reservations and had a wonderful itinerary fully planned. It was so stress free to know we didn't need to worry about a thing. He drove us all around the country in his beautiful van, knew all the best photo spots and is also a wonderful photographer. We especially enjoyed his willingness to speak about any subject that arose. His knowledge of history, culture, religion, and tradition made our tour both meaningful and memorable. He really works hard to plan the kind of trip you want and then carries it out beautifully. You won't be disappointed.

My wife and I along with our 17 year old son did the "8 Day Private Tour of Bucovina & Transylvania from Bucharest" and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. First, George - the tour guide/driver/owner of the tour company - was himself among the highlights of the trip. He clearly exhibited a passion for customer service and his country. From the moment I discovered him online his communication was very responsive and very clear and this continued during the trip. Throughout the trip, he was humorous and a great conversationalist with impeccable English. His insight into the areas we visited were top-notch and his reflection on the history of his country was very insightful. His vehicle was very clean (like new) and he constantly kept the windows cleaned for the drives! Additionally, during the tour he balanced the time well allowing for ample time of guided tour and private time for our family. The tour itself was great. If you have never been to Romania (this was our first time there) I would encourage you to go. The country is naturally beautiful with rolling hills, mountains, plains and many untouched areas, but with plenty of historical sites. The uniqueness of the villages was a treat and if you get a chance stay in Viscri. Even Bucharest, which I had heard negative things about before the trip was nice. Its probably a great time to go as you can still see some of the scars of Communist rule interspersed with the great historical architecture and the renovation that is ongoing. Sibiu and Brasov were both wonderful historical cities but full of life...my wife and 17 year son were trying to convince me buy a place there so we could live there 3 months out of the year. When I had told family and friends that I was going to Romania with my family the first response was usually...why? Or...is it safe? Or...isn't it dangerous being so close to the Ukraine? The answer to the first was the sheer amount of history you can see with the old Saxon Villages, the fortified churches, the painted churches, the fortress and the castles. As to safety concerns...I can honestly say that I have never felt safer on a trip in my life, even at night walking in the city streets! Plus the Romanian people we encountered were all very welcoming and pleasant. The food may have been the biggest shock, but in a positive way. We never had a bad meal. Everything was fresh tasting and more diverse that we had expected. Lastly, its an extremely inexpensive country to visit--not only due to the current exchange rate, but the country is, well, just inexpensive! I definitely recommend Touring_Romania as a travel company choice and the County of Romania as a place to visit.
