    Such an amazing trip! We can’t stop talking about our guide Gelu. He really made the trip. We felt like we were leaving our best behind when it was all over. I could write a book on what I learned from Gelu. Any question I asked he could answer. Romania is a beautiful country, lacking nothing. We stayed in wonderful hotels and ate great food everyday. I have zero complaints & highly recommend this tour & Rolandia & Gelu. The tour company was always responsive, friendly & accommodating. It was my first trip to Europe & Romania did not disappoint. It’s a busy trip but so worth it to see & learn the vast & rich history of Romania.

    Great tour with the major sites in Transylvania. The accommodations were elegant for the cost of the tour. Some of them restored historic buildings with painted walls. The food's not bad either. Our guide Andrei took care of us from arrival till departure.

    The tour was great, Florin was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable about Romania and its history. I would highly recommend this tour especially to someone who wants to see Romania, the people are super friendly, the food is the best, the mountains are breath taking. We feel that we experienced so much more than the legend of Dracula.

    Great tour and accommodation always in central location and very good- comfortable. Stefan was an excellent guide -very knowledgeable,enthusiastic, great driver and keen to help when things go wrong (I had a dental problem which he helped resolve). Only suggestion would be to include pèle castle on the itinerary

    Loved the experience of Halloween at Bran castle. Our guide Anne was one of the best I have experienced and I travel a lot. She was knowledgeable, friendly,spoke very good English and was familiar with the local surroundings. The vast variety of churches, public buildings, lovely gardens, quaint villages, farms etc. was much better then expected and the food and cheeses outstanding. I would recommend this trip without reservation.
