The main reasons our guests love our tours

As a leading Romania tour operator, we focus on creating authentic, immersive experiences that highlight the best of Romanian culture, rural traditions, and nature. Moreover, we design our tours to match your interests, ensuring every trip is unique and unforgettable.

Authentic Experiences in Romania

• Firstly, we focus on what’s true and authentic about Romania – we’d rather offer a genuine experience than stage it.
• Additionally, we emphasize going local and going rural to provide an enriching, immersive cultural experience. This includes eating at local restaurants and farms, attending traditional events, visiting local markets, traveling in small groups, trying local produce such as wine, brandy, and cheeses, and learning traditional crafts. Furthermore, we explore the quaintest corners of Romania to give you the real experience.

Our Tour Themes

• Our main tour themes include culture, rural traditions and nature, food & wine, photography, and genealogy and ancestry. Each tour is carefully tailored to your specific interests, which we discuss during a personalized consultation.
• Moreover, we usually suggest accommodation in charming boutique hotels (in historic buildings or old town), as well as traditional rural bed & breakfasts, castles, and manors for a truly Romanian experience.
• In addition, we collaborate with 20 of the best tour guides in Romania, understanding that the guide is often key to a memorable tour. Languages spoken include English, Spanish, German, French, and Italian.
• Furthermore, for tours and airport transfers, we use reliable vehicles from local transportation and car rental companies, ranging from the classic Dacia Logan or Duster to Mercedes GLE and comfortable minivans, minibuses, or coaches.
• Our average tour length is 10 days; however, we also offer one-week trips or extended tours up to 32 days, depending on your preferences.
• Finally, we promote a type of tourism that benefits the local economy while preserving local heritage and the environment. Therefore, we are committed to responsible and sustainable travel.
• Ralph, US, tour organizer: “I’ve worked with them for 5 years now, and each trip has been better than the last.” Paul, UK, tour organizer: “If you are looking for a tour tailored to your exact needs with incredible attention to detail then look no further.”

• Groups of friends traveling together. Like a group of 10 friends from Belgium who travelled to Romania because their age matched the country code (40). Or a group of 40 Estonians who travel every year on the birthday or their “coordinator”. Or groups of friends from Thailand and Singapore.
• Families living in North America with ancestors from Romania wanting to learn more about their family origins, relatives and to visit the places of origin and Romania
• Romanians living abroad traveling to Romania with their international friends, colleagues or multicultural families either for weddings, Christmas or holidays. They can use professional expertise even if they are Romanians.
• A group of Americans working for a European NATO base (and their families) wanting to celebrate July 4^th and wine tasting.
• A company from France brought their employees to Romania to celebrate their 20^th anniversary.

About the founder of the tour company

Daniel Rosca loves traveling. By the age of 27, in 2010, he had already lived in Belgium, Poland, Turkey, and Egypt, and he had traveled to many other countries, including Rwanda, Brazil, and Jordan. Moreover, he worked for Deloitte, Microsoft, and AIESEC, gaining valuable experience along the way. Eventually, he decided it was time to return to Romania and dedicate himself to travel and sustainability. Consequently, he became a licensed tour guide and travel manager and established the Romanian tour operator company you are now reading about. He particularly appreciates the traditions still existing in Romania, the old ways of doing things, the stories, the centuries-old architecture, and the traditional food. Above all, he loves meeting curious, discerning travelers and showing them Romania as it truly is.
