Best of Romania in 10 Days

This tour was beyond any expectations- so much better, so brilliantly put together with expert care by Rolandia and our tour guide Traian. We couldn’t have been better looked after, anything we wanted was possible.. and what a country and culture! Because it only ended up that the two of us booked for this date, Rolandia didn’t cancel but gave us a comfortable car and guide to ourselves! The hotels were exceptional and varied in style, always in the best part of town and though we covered a lot of ground and beautiful sights we were never exhausted or overwhelmed. Cannot recommend highly enough.

This trip is an absolute must for lovers of culture, nature, architecture, food and history. My trip was a little difficult so set up because of flight times but nonetheless from the outset, Nico's communication and adaptation meant I didn't have to miss out. From the moment I was greeted by my tour guide George, I immediately knew it was going to be a good trip. What I did not anticipate was that Romania would go on to be my favourite country. It's one of those places where every single place you look there is something you want to take a photo of. My experience was further enriched by the deep historical and geopolitical knowledge George possessed. I felt like I had a real insiders pass to the most beautiful country on earth. If you are considering maybe doing this trip, hesitate no more and book immediately. Thank you George, Nico and Rolandia, I will be back.

We did a modified version of this tour that was customized to our tastes. The Romanian countryside was spectacular, especially the drive along the Transfăgărășan Highway into Transylvania from Bucharest. We saw Poenari Castle along the way and, of course, a couple of bears. For each place we stayed, we added a rest day, so we were free to roam around city squares at our leisure in Sibiu, Sighișoara, and Brașov. Our tour guide, Laurentiu Muscalu, was PHENOMENAL! His English is excellent, and his knowledge of every area we visitied with him was extraordinary. He was our guide for the entire trip, taking us from Bucharest, through winding roads to Sibiu, and then on to Sighișoara and Brașov. He has a warm, friendly personality, is a very good driver, and can be quite fun and entertaining. I could not have asked for a better guide to see this amazing country. My wife has wanted to visit Transylvania since she was a child. We did a lot of research on the culture, traditions, and history of Romania prior to our visit, so our expectations were high. This trip greatly exceeded those expectations. I highly recommend Romania, the destinations on this trip, and of course our guide Laurentiu. Thank you for a very memorable and fun-filled adventure!
