Thank you for organising our recent trip and particular thanks for choosing such a delightful travel companion /driver/guide to accompany us as we toured your wonderful country. Irena suited us in every way imaginable from her excellent English and comprehensive knowledge imparted in a suitably relaxed but informative manner to her pleasant demeanour and great driving skills. We bonded so well with her it was truly saying goodbye to a friend when we parted.
There were many special moments with the train ride and picnic offering an unforgettable experience far exceeding expectations.
The location and quality of our accommodation close to the centre of the towns was good even though their heritage nature meant the absence of a lift and some tricky stairs on several occasions. In retrospect perhaps we could have indicated we were a bit older and would prefer lifts rather than stairs but we might then have missed out on being within the old towns close to and within walking distance of the sights and cafes etc. Travel can be a balancing act at times.
It was disappointing that the weather conditions prevented us from experiencing the spectacle of the Transfagarasan Highway and its breathtaking alpine views – maybe a reason to visit Romania again!

What a wonderful journey we have enjoyed through a decent slice of your beautiful country. We cannot speak too highly of Irena, our wonderful guide, she is a true gem and she added to our experience in many wonderful ways. Her historical knowledge and her love for her country was admirable as was her driving skill.
We appreciate that staying in the old areas of towns in hotels without elevators is desirable from the point of view of convenient access.
Given our constrained time frame, you did a great job of fitting in all we hoped to see and we thank you sincerely. We will become great advocates for visiting this beautiful country of yours and for your company.

I had a fabulous time on this trip to Romania. Vlad was totally willing to customize the trip for us. When I explained that my husband doesn’t drink, he was able to easily substitute the usually planned wine tastings and other similar events with things that were more to our liking. We were able to see all the things we had expressed interest in. He took into consideration that my husband isn’t great at walking uphill these days. Whenever we had some days that did involve walking, Irena, our guide, helped us find a pleasant place for him to wait until she and I took the walk. We had plenty of time to see what we wanted to see and never felt rushed. She took us to out-of-the-way places that we would never otherwise have found. It was just us, so we never felt like those giant tourist groups that arrive in huge buses and rush through towns or churches, leaving and ruining everyone else’s visit. The trip included great homestays and food. Ah, the food! It was fabulous all around. I greatly appreciated that we mainly stayed in smaller boutique hotels, rather than large chains. We felt like we got a sense of the place and its people. The people we met could not have been more hospitable. Irena was the best. She made us feel at home, and we were soon talking about dogs and families. I appreciated that she did not seem to keep us at arm’s length, yet remained totally professional at all times. I would highly recommend this company. They personalized this trip for us without adding a lot of extra expense. It is excellent value for the money.

Irena was an incredible guide. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible given we were traveling with a 2 year old! We felt completely comfortable with her and cannot say enough about the positive ways she affected our travel experience.
