S. Flavia

It was a great tour, Ovi was the best guide we have ever had! He has shown us some extra stops on the way and knew lots of interesting information about the country. He was a pleasure to be around. I can only recommend the tour - Romania is a beautiful country and even 7 days are not enough to see all its beauty
