We propose you 2 weeks back in time in the lovely villages from Transylvania and Maramures, in the North West part of Romania. It is a "off the beaten track" tour ! Superb landscapes, unspoiled nature, old villages with best kept traditions, accommodations in old traditional houses with all facilities, great organic food prepared by local ladies with all from their farms.

A great introduction and overview of Romania from the Danube delta to the old mountainous regions of the north .
This was a private tour arranged for us so will have differed from the standard tour as we wanted to visit wineries as well.
Excellent, very hard working and very knowledgeable guide (George Trandir the owner). Excellent English. Comprehensive knowledge of Romanian history.

George is an excellent tour guide and passionate Romanian. Since he books/plans/guides/drives you are in his care and under his watchful eye the whole trip. He listens to what you want and delivers the product and first class service. By default we were two 70s well traveled worldly women one got Covid and George adapted the trip and we carried on. No fuss. George is the best!

George was a fabulous tour guide and driver. Everything was taken care of and we experienced most all of the must see places in Romania. George was open to changes based on our likes and dislikes and took care of us as if we were family. He was so knowledgeable about the places we visited and the history. If he didn’t know an answer to our questions he would find the answer. As far as places to stay he found us the hidden gems, and the wonderful home cooked meals in villager’s homes. I would love to take his tours again and highly recommend him to anyone. He provides the perfect way to experience the delightful country of Romania at a reasonable price.

The short and long of it is: if journeying across Transylvania in the care of a friendly, knowledgeable, and unflappable guide who will tailor the itinerary to your every need appeals to you, then you should choose Touring Romania. My friend and I approached George (the guide) with specific interests in traditional life, history, and hiking the countryside, and over the course of three months and 80+ e-mails we put together the two-week tour of a lifetime. If I said, “I’d like to learn how to cook traditional food,” George responded with, “I know a lady in Breb who would be happy to teach you.” When I said, “I’d like to walk between these two villages,” he answered, “The sheep dogs on that route can be unfriendly; let’s have the shepherd drive us in his horse-drawn cart to his sheepfold, and then after a lunch of fresh cheese, bread, and tomatoes, we can have him drop us off at the forest so we can walk the rest of the way.”
When it rained, he had umbrellas; when we were hungry he knew the best places to eat (and the best gelato stands for dessert!); when we explored old cities he explained the history in the clear, storytelling manner of a born teacher. Since I’d studied the history before coming, I asked him question after question – and he always had an answer. (But if I hadn’t been so interested, he would have spoken about something else with equal cheer. I’ve never met a person so able to put anyone and everyone he met at their ease so quickly.) Together we navigated the crowded corridors of Bran Castle, learned how to work a loom, and trekked up a mountain lush with wild raspberries. In every situation, I never saw him anything other than positive, resourceful, and considerate of everyone else’s needs.
Whether you are looking for someone to handle all the details or you would like a tour personalized around your interests, you couldn’t find a better tour guide than George or company than Touring Romania.

I went on this tour with George and i can say without a doubt that this was the most complex and fun vacation i had. The places we stayed at were almost stolen from old medieval paintings. The places we visited were carefully picked and explained by George.
Also his driving skills are great, which only enriched the experience.
