    Peter was an awesome guide. This tour gives you experiences that you could not have ordinarily, especially if you were to try to tour this area on your own. Take this tour to see parts of Romania that are frozen in time!

    This was our first tour ever, and it was great! Our guide, Sando, was wonderful! His knowledge of history was a real plus. He truly educated us about what we were experiencing. We saw places we never would have found on our own, and the awareness of Intrepid’s commitment to serving through travel was the icing on the cake!

    Maybe just a little too much walking for a 72 year old, overweight man who still smokes. That be said, I did manage to keep up, and Dani was very good about helping me with my luggage on and off the trains.
