Top Romania Day Trips - page 17

Traian was very knowledgeable and took great care of us on our tour. He ensured we were given important information on the history and culture of Romania and in particular, the region of Transylvania. We were picked up promptly in a convenient location and travelled in comfortable transport, spotless inside and out. His expertise in guiding us through the 3 castle visit was invaluable in making our trip one to remember. I could not recommend it enough! He also had a great rapport with the secretaries of the places we visited, gaining us private access ahead of the queues to make our trip extra special. Excellent opportunities to stand and wonder at some of the region's most beautiful sites, Traian also took the time to take our pictures to ensure we kept the best memories of our time there. An excellent service, 5 stars!!

This is a great tour if you have limited time in Romania. As I have heard a lot about Sighisoara and Sibiu I felt like I had to see both places and I highly recommend the tour if this is the case. It would be more relaxing only seeing one if you don’t need to see both.

Fabulous trip and a very entertaining guide. I loved being on a minibus rather than a coach. We had a toilet stop at a garage which was a nightmare because you have to buy something to use the toilet and the place was absolutely packed. I could happily have skipped this. The monastery in the rock face was so interesting and the more modern monastery at ground level was beautiful. Please note that the climb up to the original Rock Monastery is steep and the ground is very uneven. Definitely worth going though. Veliko Tarnovo was also beautiful. The scenery was breathtaking. We had an enjoyable walk along the fortress walls and up to the Church and then another steep walk uphill to a gorgeous paved street of shops selling all sorts of tourist treasures and hand made crafts. We couldn’t do the last of our three stops because the road had been closed but, to be honest, we were exhausted by then anyway. I would have preferred to have longer at Veliko Tarnovo and not had to rush.

First of all, Florin was a fantastic guide with fluency in english and spanish with interesting facts about the area and the castles! the tour itself was quite great, the only thing I wished for was a little more time in both castles, to try to see it in not such a hush and to see the little souvenir shops around them. aside from that, 100% recommended

Let me start by saying the sites were all amazing! But what made the castles, the towns, the museums come to life was our awesome guide Alex !!! He was fantastic in every way, very knowledgeable and skilled , fully engaged and helpful. Every question we throw at him, no problem. He is able to provide context and insight... how lucky we are to have him for two days. By far in all our years of travel and touring, he is the BEST !!!

A full day but plenty of stops. Didn’t see bears as it was snowing and they were hiding. But just the snow covered trees and buildings was enough for an Aussie. Lots of memorable and funny moments. Our guide George was an excellent driver and nothing was too much for him. A top day out.

What a legend! Dinu, our tour guide, was not only super knowledgeable but also hilarious and so much fun to hang out with. He has this way of making history and culture feel exciting instead of boring, and he sprinkled in just the right amount of jokes and stories to keep us entertained the whole time. Honestly, it felt like exploring with a really smart friend who knows all the secret spots. He made sure everyone felt comfortable, answered every random question we threw at him, and somehow managed to make the whole group laugh and learn at the same time. Definitely the highlight of our trip! Now here’s the twist—we didn’t even want to leave this review. Not because he wasn’t amazing (he totally was), but because he’s our little secret and we don’t want anyone stealing him from us. But he insisted we write something, so fine… here it is. I hope he is not booked by somebody else when we come back 😂!

Since I was a child I have dreamed of seeing the Black Sea! Finally, I was able to dip my toes in the water and no the sea is not black. LOL There were so many beautiful sights to see all around Constanta. Many great spots to grab lunch, too. Photo opportunities everywhere. So refreshing to feel the breeze on your skin as you stroll along the boardwalk and learn all about the important role this city played in times past.
