We really enjoyed our tour.
Our guide, Florin, drove us around the different stops and answered all our questions on the places we were visiting as well as any other question we had on Romanian history and culture on the way. He was a good-humoured guide with a lot of knowledge about his country and we really enjoyed hearing his views and stories.
We also enjoyed our time alone hiking up Balea lake and taking in the beautiful views of the Transfagarasan Highway.
