Food and Wine Tour of Transylvania, Romania
Discover the traditional savors of the country
Discover local culinary delicacies and high quality wines during this one-week long Food and Wine Tour of Transylvania, Romania.
With Sibiu being European Region of Gastronomy in 2019, it is the perfect departing place for a tour that will take you through German-Saxon villages, where you will experiment the rural way of life and ancient recipes, through places of Hungarian heritage and authentic Romanian farms. Craftsmen, wine-tasting sessions, beautiful medieval castles, calming nature and spectacular attractions are also part of this tour.
Food in Romania is quite hearty, typical Eastern European. But in recent years there’s been an effort to adapt to the 21st century, make portions smaller, present the food in a better way and use even more local and seasonal products.
Velo-Transylvania cycling tour in Romania
Discover by bike Transylvania’s old world charm
German ethnics who lived here for over 800 years left behind many fortifications and medieval towns. As you slowly ride your bike you will have the feeling of stepping back in time when a horse cart will overtake you or you will see shepherds and subsistence farmers keeping up with old farming techniques.

To make this a memorable trip, you’ll also explore the beautiful medieval town of Sibiu and the famous castles of Transylvania: Bran and Peles.
Scenic drives of Romania – self-drive tour

The tour offers great opportunities for family bonding as it takes you through the most interesting regions of Romania: Transylvania, Maramures and Bucovina.
Private Genealogy Tour in Romania
Finding the Romanian roots
15 Days
There is no better way to discover your Romanian roots than to travel to the home country of your parents or grandparents. Nothing can substitute the feeling you have while you walk on the same streets your grandparents walked, while you see the house where they grew or hear the story of your family from an elderly relative.
But a private genealogy tour in Romania involves more than just a visit to certain places. The process of finding information about your ancestors can take weeks or even months and, in order to make the most of the trip, it is better if you know beforehand the exact details you are looking for and where to find them. Besides this, the town of your ancestors might be outside the touristic route, therefore, a person who knows very well the country might be of real help.
Photo Tours in Romania
Since 2011 we specialize in organizing photo tours of Romania and our very first tour was with photographers. Join us to click with our culture as much as you will click your shutter. Starting with fall 2019, we have also launched a new website focused only on photo tours: Romania Photo Tours.
People photography is particularly great as in the countryside there are still many locals practicing traditional occupations such as farming, shepherding, blacksmithing, wood carving, distilling fruit brandy and more. There are also special events when people dress up in wonderful traditional clothes.
Travel, landscape and wildlife photography are also very good as Romania has impressive medieval towns and fortifications, mountains where bears and wolves live and the Danube Delta where over 300 species of birds live.
We organize private, tailor-made photo tours of Romania so please contact us and let us know what interests you.
