My son hasn't stopped talking about him and what he learnt, and we are all following up with additional research into Romanian history and politics on Youtube. Narcis was flexible in his approach to what we would do and tailored things around what we liked as he got to know us. The hotels were all great location and the quality. The vehicle was very comfortable. We will have to go back as 4 days meant a lot of things we would have liked to have stopped and explored we just had to sadly drive by. What a wonderful country Romania is. My daughter…”

“We had an amazing honeymoon thanks to Silviu! He was so knowledgeable, kind, attentive, and just overall a great guy. He introduced us to so many amazing traditional Romanian food and drinks from Țuica, Pălincă, and Fetească to Mici and Tochitură. Silviu got us a great guide at Corvin Castle that gave us the full history of the castle and John of Hunedoara. It was like a episode of Game of Thrones (when the writing was good). Silviu says we lucked out with her because they aren’t always around to give tours. One of the benefits of going on the offseason is you really get a more personalized experience. Silviu…”
