Had an excellent full day tour of the Maramureş region with Andrei. He was highly knowledgeable about the region, culture and traditions of this special area. I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again or recommend to a friend. He has excellent English and makes you feel at ease during the tour. A 10/10 day in the Maramureş region.

This was one of the best tours we took in our 4 weeks in Europe. Ioana was very personable, friendly and was a wealth of knowledge. She shared many insights not only about things on the tour but living in Romania as well. Our lunch was fantastic at a local inn. I don't have enough positive adjectives in my vocabulary to describe how great this tour was. Merry Cemetery was so unique and we even got to meet the family who creates to tombstone.

The Merry Cemetry including visiting the craftsman. Followed by lunch in Breb and the visit whirlpool carpet washing. Above all stands Ioana, our guide. We learnd so much from her and she didn't get tired of our questions.
