“Fantastic experience. This was a private excursion with Alin who took really good care of me. He was so full of knowledge about the history, geography, economics, sociology and politics of Romania and its neighbouring regions that the day literally flew by - despite being a very long tour. The scenery in the trip was spectacular and we spotted several wild brown bears, which was the main reason for me booking this trip. I cannot recommend Alin and doing the private tour highly enough.”
