What travelers are saying

"An excellent trip which packed a lot into a very short time. A good introduction to Romania which left us wanting to visit the country again. Our group gelled very well and the whole adventure was great fun. Highly recommended Our tour leader Ruxi was very informative and had a friendly and professional manner. The highlight for us was to see brown bears in the wild but we also really enjoyed the castles and spectacular scenery. A few minor concerns... If anything the itinerarary was a bit too ambitious- holiday traffic meant that the journey to Transylvania took longer than expected and this meant that the hike was shunted out- a disappointment. We added an extra day to explore more of Bucharest before the trip and found this to be very worthwhile. The accommodation is rather basic but ok. We spent little time in it so it didn't really matter. We were taken to some very good restaurants in the evenings where we ate as a group and Ruxi divided up the bill with practiced efficiency."

What travelers are saying

"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."
