“We recently did a walking food tour in Odea, and it was truly an amazing experience! Our guide Calin took great care in selecting each restaurant, ensuring we had an authentic taste of the local cuisine. Each stop felt thoughtfully chosen, showcasing food that locals genuinely enjoy. Calin was incredibly gracious and made us feel welcome throughout the tour. The pacing was perfect—just the right amount of walking between tastings, allowing us to enjoy each dish without feeling rushed. While the focus was definitely on the food, he also shared interesting bits of history that enriched the experience. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore Odea’s food…”

“The guide Laura was wonderful, however, we only got to go for a brief walk to center of the city, and secondly we visited the parliament. It was the most expensive tour on a 15 day trip and we did a lot less than others. Wouldn’t recommend for that value!”
