A great drive through the Romanian countryside with expert guides. - An amazing Fall day and an excellent time to drive through the Romanian countryside. Isaac was a knowledgeable guide who provided an overview of the physical, social, political and economic life in Romania. Not just cerebral, beautiful vistas and compassionate visits to a local farm.

Perfect Carpathian village experience and Sinaia in one day tour - Spent a wonderful day with Vlad on this tour. Scenery was fantastic, absolutely breath-taking (we were there in Autumn). Visited a village and enjoyed getting up close to the animals and experiencing how traditional life in Transylvania continues even today. Vlad is extremely nice, very knowledgeable and provides a friendly and professional tour which leaves you with far more knowledge than when you arrived. Highly recommend.
