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.

Working with Holiday to Romania was enjoyable from start to finish. Vlad put together an itinerary and we tweaked it until we got it just right. Traveling with a toddler was something we were a little apprehensive about, but Vlad did everything possible to make the experience smooth and to provide all of the things we would need for a safe and comfortable trip as a family. We enjoyed the exclusive cultural experiences that Holiday to Romania was able to arrange for us; we did things that we would never have been able to on our own or with a larger group. Our adventure in Romania was everything we had hoped for and more. Many thanks!

We did “Transylvanian Escape” with Holiday to Romania. Vlad organized this program perfectly and was available throughout our stay. Our guide Claudia was absolutely excellent: enthusiastic, very knowledgeable about the country, and very efficient. We highly recommend this company.
