      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.
