    I was interested in the different cultures of Romania. In my 6 day private, custom-designed tour I had guides of pure Romanian descent, a Saxon guide who took me around an historically German area, and a Hungarian Romanian with whom I toured areas which, up until World War 1 were part of Hungary. My visit also included a stop with a family of Roma (Gypsy) metal craftsmen, as well as a couple of other artisans elsewhere in Transylvania. I ate local foods, stayed in locally-owned hotels (at my request), and overall had a fun and fascinating tour. Vlad of Romanian Thrills took time to understand my interests and budget, and put together a great tour. I highly recommend Romanian Thrills if you want to see authentic Romania.

    Only yesterday I completed a 14 day tour of the country with Romanian Thrills. Places ive never heard of or simply would never have found. The hidden gems of this hidden gem of a country. If it is your first trip to Romania I can not recommend them strongly enough, as an American who has lived in Romania for over 4 years, I still found MASSIVE benefit in the local knowledge and expertise. If they can make my experience better, they can certainly make anybodies better! Great insight into the history of every place we visited along with being the last to bed and the first awake to make sure everything ran smoothly. I always try and gives pros and cons with a review, so in the interest of fairness... Vlad didnt finish his cigar! Besides that. Perfect! Anyone with questions about RT feel free to reach out to me on instagram at anytime @cobratate

    The Discover Romania tour was the most sensitively organized tour I've every taken. Every aspect of the tour authentically reflects the country, from watching the demonstration of a cooper making barrels (along with our participating), local guides providing brilliant tours, extraordinary accommodations that reflect the local culture, to carefully selected restaurants. Georgiana and Vlad's extensive knowledge of Romanian history is impressive; they are articulate, spontaneous, and keep in mind your special requests. You will feel that are indeed discovering Romania, a fascinating country that few travelllers visit, but you are doing so with friends with whom you're privileged to explore in an intimate, personal view. I hope your trip will be as joyous as mine.

    I would strongly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an immersive experience of Romania. We travelled for 2 weeks across the country and stayed in exquisite villas, guesthouses or estates everywhere we went. I particularly enjoyed participating in various workshops specific to the area (the cooper in Harale or miller in Cernat). The food was great and the Vlad and Georgiana really made my experience true and extraordinary through their level of attention to detail! Also, loved the little souvenirs I kept receiving along the trip. Romania is a beautifully unknown country :)

    What an adventure! Georgiana and Vlad are amazing guides! They are truly what makes the difference and creates a unique experience to see so many different things. They showed us castles, hiking trails, wine tastings and amazing food. One of my favorite days was in Viscri when we got to create our own souvenir at a local blacksmith workshop. In Viscri is also where Prince Charles’s spends his summer holidays. Very cool. Thank you so much for an unforgettable journey through Romania!

    Amazing experience! We had a fantastic tour with Vlad and Georgiana. They drove us through the mountains, hidden places, traditional villages and beautiful cities. Their knowledge of the history, customs, and culture was outstanding. They also made the trip entertaining as well as a learning experience. If you are planning to visit Romania someday, do not hesitate to get in contact with these guys!
