Explore Romania’s Danube Delta from Bucharest with a private guide, boat ride, village lunch, wildlife, and a long but rewarding day.

“Our guide was great as far as hotel pick up explaining the history of Romania. Disappointed as far as seeing birds. All the boat operators use the same canal so all the animals go somewhere else. Expensive and long drive from Bucharest. Everyone goes to the same restaurant. Not really a fisherman 's house. Same menu carp,fish,soup. Drinks extra.”

“My wife and I joined several friends for a trip to the Danube delta prior to a conference in Bucharest. It was coordinated by Ilie (Sorry if misspelled !) and one of his driver guides. It was an amazing photo tour of the incredible biodiversity of the delta - truly one of the most unique areas of the world. Our guides were not only familiar with the natural history of the flora and fauna of the delta but were also expert at photographing the migratory and resident birdlife. The lodging was arranged at a wonderful boutique hotel in Mila 23 that served delicious family style meals for our group. My…”

Explore Constanta, Mamaia, and the Danube Delta on a private two-day tour from Bucharest with a guide, hotel, boat trip, and meals.

“This tour was a wonderful experience! The guide Dan Nica kindly gave me many interesting information about the places we visited and was very patient with my taking photographs. Since I already visited Constanța last year, he showed me the attractions that I did not see in my first visit: the beach with its interesting pier, etnographic museum and the remains of the Greek polis Histria. The next day we visited the Danube Delta, which is full of various birds (ibises, egrets, gulls, herons, pelicans...) and has interesting vegetation (willows, trees, yellow and white water lilies).
