Private 9-Day Transylvania and Bucovina UNESCO Tour in Historical Romania

Excellent private tour combining must-visit sights with local flavour

We actually did an 11 day private tour (not on the list) so we could see more of Romania. Bogdan, our guide and driver, was excellent: knowledgeable and friendly. He lived in Ireland for 7 years so it was easy to have a real conversation with him. Our transport was clean and comfortable. We stayed in a mix of hotels and guest houses. A couple of the guest houses were amongst the tour highlights with home-cooked Romanian food, wonderful breakfasts and comfortable rooms. In general we were pleasantly surprised with the food. You do not have to be religious to marvel at the amazing painted churches, monasteries and cathedrals. The natural scenery was varied and often beautiful, especially in the mountains, and many of the villages, towns and cities were delightful. And don’t miss the Transfagarasan highway - it’s not just for Top Gear enthusiasts! We left feeling that we had a much better understanding of this part of Europe and were pleased that we had managed to see it before it had fully modernised. We also had two days in Bucharest (not part of the tour) which gave us the opportunity to see the Palace of Parliament and other must-see places in the capital.

6-Day Transylvania and Painted Churches - Your Own Accommodation

Excellent tour around Romania visiting Transylvania and the painted monasteries in Bucovina

I had a great time on a private tour during November, which was booked at extremely short notice. Ion did an amazing job putting together the tour within 24 hours, and we started the trip only a couple of days after enquiring which was amazing! His communication was really fast, clear and helpful, and our driver/guide Florin was great - both ensured we had a wonderful time in Romania. The choice of accommodation was brilliant, varying from modern hotels to centuries-old period properties. I would thoroughly recommend contacting Romania Tour Store for anyone looking to travel in Romania with a friendly, reliable and trustworthy local company.

Private 7 Day Romania UNESCO Tour

The Best trip to Romania and Bulgaria

A friend of mine recommended David and Adrian for a tour of Romania and Bulgaria. I had been to Romania before but this was the first time I had a chance to go by car and see the countryside . From leaving Bucharest and going through Transylvania then The Transfagarsan highway it was breathtaking. The scenery was forested, mountains and ever changing. I saw bears on the road, a lake, dam and ate typical Romanian country side cuisine . My trip then took me to many places : Transylvania, Maramures , Bucovina and Dobrigea region near the Black Sea. After that o changed tour guides to Adrian who took me into Bulgaria, Balchik, Plovdiv, Sofia and Velko Ternovo and ended up Bucharest for a day tour. I stayed on different villages and home stays and experienced different cultural transitions and foods. David taught me so much about Eastern Orthodoxy and church development and monestaries and naive art. Additionally he has angreat sense of humor annd knows how's to intertwine it with the tour . If you take a tour with him ansk him anbout the French Tourist and Bizets Carmen. Adrian was very knowledgeable about antiquity, the Roman and Greek eras . I was also introduced to monument foods and markets . We would stop on the side of the road to take interesting photos of landscapes , villagers and even the Tsar of Bulgaria and former prime minster himself Simeon II and that was because of my Tour guide Adrian who is one of the best human beings I have ever met . Adrian son George took me on amorablentourbif Bucharest and the important sites and I had a blast on my last day in Romania. I plan to do another tour with this company again and you should too. Well worth it!
