What our customers ask about this tour

The content in our FAQ section is subject to change.
  • Would it be possible to be dropped in Bucharest rather than at the airport on day 8?

    On the last day of the trip the transfer would only bring you back to the airport (we wouldn't drop you in the city) so you would need to make your own way to the airport to meet the group when they arrive at 20:05.

    On the last day of the trip the transfer would only bring you back to the airport (we wouldn't drop you in the city) so you would need to make your own way.
