The newest land of Europe, the Danube Delta in Romania is a wild place, full of surprises. Every year, it gains 40 m2 from the water. When you visit it, you feel like you’ve entered a region with no rules, where the man doesn’t make its presence felt yet.
Unfortunately, there are one day trips to Danube Delta from Bucharest, but they are done by speed boat, so they ruin the environment. That is why you need to spend at least 2 days in Danube Delta to get to know it and to admire its nature.

Jasmin H –
My school took a two week trip to Romania with tour guide, Florin, and driver, Florin. They were both amazing. Out tour guide was funny, charming, and kind. He made an effort to get to know us, and our interests. Our driver was focused on the road while driving, but cracking jokes and getting to know us when he wasn’t. This was the best company to go with for out trip and I would 100% go again. Check out their Instagram for some insights.
