Editor’s Take
What to Look for in Romania Tour Reviews
Most trip reviews tend to focus on some or all of these 5 key areas, not all of which may be relevant to you: the tour guide, travel company, service level, country or countries traveled in, and the trip itinerary. Remember, just because you see a 1 star review doesn’t necessarily mean that person disliked the country.
Having a local guide in Romania is a helpful way to learn more about this destination’s rich history. While Romanians are typically friendly and hospitable to tourists, you may encounter language barriers in more remote regions. As Romanian culture is steeped in tradition and superstition, guides will also fill you in on cultural nuances that you may not know about.
A typical Romanian meal consists of meat and carbs. Traditional Romanian cuisine embraces the “whole animal” concept, so be prepared to see things such as tripe or brain on the menu. If you’re not an adventurous eater, or have specific dietary preferences, a local guide will be an invaluable source to you
Due to the diverse landscape of Romania, tour itineraries offer several unique Romanian experiences. You could choose the more active route and explore the vastness of the Carpathian Mountain range, or you could revel in the beauty and exuberance of the country’s several castles and churches. You could also experience a bit of everything, as tours offer a diverse set of options that explore more of Eastern Europe.
Lower-rated reviews of Romania are typically due to the vastness of the country. By the end of the trip, some travelers feel like they’ve only gotten a small taste of Romania’s charm. Sometimes, travelling from one destination to another can take hours — after all, Romania is the 12th largest country in Europe! Most itineraries focus on Southern Transylvania, but if you want to experience iconic landmarks such as the Danube Delta, Bran’s Castle, the Merry Cemetery, and Bigăr Waterfall, make sure you have enough time to fully enjoy these destinations.
Tourists may also get frustrated by the transportation offered in Romania. While the train and bus networks are extensive, construction and maintenance may cause delays. In comparison to other nations, the trains are also relatively slower — but this means you have more time to enjoy the Romanian terrain. At times, buses may be the better option for transportation!
