Our day with Ioana was fabulous. First of all she created a custom itinerary based on our interest in meeting the people of Maramureș and learning about their culture. Our first stop was to visit a sheepfold. After a short walk up the hill we met the sheep, goats, working dogs, and the shepherds. The shepherds patiently answered all our questions about their lives and the sheep. And finally, we got to taste two different kinds of cheese produced from the sheep and their milk. Next we visited the homes of two weavers. It was fascinating to watch them work and to hear the explanations of how weaving is done. Ioana took us to a natural whirlpool to see how rugs and blankets are cleaned and washed. It was fascinating. We stopped at a guesthouse for a lunch specially made for us. We finished the afternoon by visiting a maker of traditional leather shoes and a woodworking shop.
Ioana was the best guide. She tailored the tour to exactly what we wanted and is so knowledgeable about Maramureș. She took us places that otherwise would not be accessible to tourists. Her English was perfect and her accent was easy to understand. I highly recommend a private tour with Ioana for anyone that wants a memorable day in Maramureș.

My day with Ioana was fabulous. We hiked over the hill to the Botiza valley and on the way chatted with shepherds and wood choppers. Then we visited various wooden churches and crafts people with Ioana busily translating all my questions. The people we met were lovely and so eager to share their craft. I would never have been able to have this experience without such an excellent translator and Ioana was so cheerful and knew so much about the area. She was also kind enough to drive me to pick up my luggage and drop me at the bus stop at the end of the day. I hugely recommend this tour.

Lindsey, thank you so much for coming in Maramures, on the hike with me. This is exactly the type of experience I like to bring, connections with the local people. It's one of my favourite things on tours, too! Thank you for your suggestion for expanding the tours!

The tour we had with Ioana made our Maramures experience all I had hoped for, and more. Do NOT let just a few posted reviews stop you from hiring her. You will not regret it.
She will personalize the tour to what you are most interested in. We had the best day of all in Romania with her.
We met 2 weavers, a potter, a woodworker, saw 2 wooden churches and attended one local celebration. None of this would have been possible without her.
We saw and learned about the real Maramures, it's people, their customs. And enjoyed hearing from each of the craftsmen/ women.
I can't speak highly enough of the experience we had and will always remember that day as the best day in Romania. And if I were to come back, I know if I contacted her again, we could craft a DIFFERENT experience!
