We visited Romania in August, 2024 and again in May, 2025 using Toni Tatar's company both times. We found this company amazing to work with. Toni is very professional, knowledgeable, kind, thorough, and an absolute joy to spend time with. He knows Romania inside and out and made it's history come alive for us. We stayed at lovely hotels that were incredibly reasonable and ate at the most delicious restaurants with high quality food that was very affordable. There was no detail that was left to chance and we were in very capable hands. We learned so much about this beautiful country, it's welcoming and friendly people, and their very complicated history.
We took the Transylvania in-depth tour that included beautiful old castles, lovely and quaint historic old cities, Roman ruins, and beautiful drives through the Romanian countryside. This tour also included the most stunning mountainous drive over Transfagarasan Road . This is a spectacular drive that should not be missed. It has lots of hairpin curves, bridges, tunnels, lakes and wild brown bears!
We also took the Painted Monasteries of Bucovina and Transylvania Tour. The Monasteries are filled with frescoes that are well preserved masterpieces of religious art that are over 500 years old. It is a history lesson and I found it to be a spiritual experience as well. This is an awesome tour!
