Fabulous tour guide, and an unforgettable day out. - You cannot miss this tour if you visit Romania. We have come home with so many happy memories that will always be with us. We felt connected to the people, history, nature and the environment. Our Guide, Bogdan, made the day out. His knowledge and professionalism were to a high standard. He was able to answer my questions. In particular, I wanted to know more about the Orthodox religion, and Bogdan was able to explain in clear terms. As someone with a disability, he was able to assist me with stairs and other potential obstacles. I felt safe and confident in his company.

The room was Johannes Brahms , very nice, and personalised. Sleeping was very comfortable and was warm. The hotel provided with warm sleeping bag. During the night outside was snowing full night and temperatures dropped to -15°C, but inside was very nice.
