Reviews
The whole 4 days were excellent. From picking our group of 4 up on time and getting us to all the promised sights with so much commentary and explanations- it was a fantastic experience. Our driver Ovi was so knowledgeable and pleasant and was so patient with us ; answering all our questions Highly recommend this tour if you want to get off the beaten track and see the Romanian countryside
