We had a great time with Cornel as our guide. He picked us up at 8am and dropped us off around 8pm. He was knowledgeable, pleasant, and efficient. A very worthwhile day trip.

Our day trip from Romania to Bulgaria was an absolute pleasure. Christian O., went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable with bathroom breaks and time for snacks. He spoke English which was a bonus for me and gave a detailed account of all the places we passed on the journey. Christian O. arrived on time , the vehicle was clean and he assisted us with our luggage. 5 Stars for Christian O
On the return trip Christian O, drove on a different route so we could experience crossing the Danube by ferry at the border
This experience was definitely the highlight of the trip

We had a fabulous driver Andreii but the towns we visited were not worth going to. We traveled from Bucharest to Arbanassi and basarabov monastery and another small town. Not much to see in the towns. A lot of driving (about 8 hours) with little to see. The trip cost us $398 for two people so quite expensive for the outcome. We could have put the time to better use. I wouldn't recommend this trip but I would recommend the driver. I'm sure there's better towns to see in Bulgaria.
