I have wanted to visit the painted monasteries of Bucovina for 40 years. Florian proved to be a knowledgeable guide, willing to make accommodations to my special interests and full of excellent historical background. During the long drives we talked about all sorts of topics and his insights helped me really get a grasp on Romania past and present. As for the sights, autumn was the perfect time to enjoy the natural beauty. The monasteries are lovingly tended by nuns and the grounds offered a peaceful environment. I was reluctant to leave each one. Our accommodations were comfortable and beautiful with excellent cuisine and sincere hospitality.
