It was wonderful. Toni our guide was so knowledgeable. He was engaged with us and our interests. He did not rush us and answered all of our questions. The countryside and our trip out of the city gave us a different and wonderful exposure to Romania. The monasteries and convent were beautiful. Living examples of the religious life in Romania spanning 1400s, 1600s and 1800s ti the present. Beautiful Frescos, mosaics and icons. All of us could not recommend this trip more highly.

We did a private tour and this was great. As we were interested in Vlad, we wanted to go see where he was buried. Very pretty and interesting day out. The guide was very informative and did a great job. Not a very long day and glad this one of the last tours we did.
