Fantastic Day! - Our tour guide, Mihai was fantastic. He was very kind, knowledgeable, interesting to talk to, and gave us a good perspective on Romania's past and present. Furthermore, he went beyond our expectations and took us to additional places that were not listed in the official itinerary but made the trip even more worthwhile. We saw a lot in this very long day!

Absolutely incredible! I can't give... - <p>Absolutely incredible! I can't give an adequate review because of the character limit. The tour guide was way beyond anything I expected. He actually took us to other spectacular places that were not on the agenda. It was a real look at Romania that will always remain in my memory. Well done!</p>
