Mickey –
We enjoyed a very well organized and well guided private tour. Florin, our organizer, provided a very nice tour of Bucharest and then transferred us to the care of Bogdan, who guided us on four days of mountain walks and cultural activities in Transylvania. There was an planning error by one of the hotels and Florin worked very quickly to resolve it in a satisfactory way, which is the sign of a good tour company. We saw beautiful landscapes and learned much about Romanian culture, history and tradition. We have traveled all over the world and we highly recommend this company.
