We just returned from a modified version of the 14 Day Grand Tour of Romania trip offered by I travel in Romania. What a great experience from beginning to end! Mihai was very responsive in all his communications with us prior to our arrival. As I said, we modified his 14 Day Grand Tour to fit within our time frame and areas of interest. Mihai was more than happy to accommodate us in any way that he could. He took our preferences into consideration and created a fabulous tour for us. Our tour began with his colleague Andreea being our guided as Mihai had a previous commitment. Andreea greeted us at the airport with smiles and hugs and escorted us for the first 3 days of our trip. Andreea was a delight and was always more than happy to accommodate us in any way and to answer any questions that we had. As a matter of fact, after we arrived home, Andreea sent us a Whatsapp message to follow up on a conversation that we had days before. Mihai, stopped by while we where still in Bucharest to make sure that all was well and to ensure that we were enjoying our stay. Mihai took over our tour on day 4. He too was just great. His English is very understandable; his driving never once made us concerned – even on the hairpin curves of the Carpathian mountain range. Again, he always ensured that our questions were answered, that we were seeing the things that we wanted to see, that we had plenty of time to be at a particular venue or to move on if we were ready to do so. His kindness not only extended to us but also to our host in rural Romania. It was her birthday while we were visiting so Mihai planned a birthday party for her. What a fun time that was. He arranged to have traditional singers and dancers come to entertain (one being our hosts granddaughter) as well as bought her a birthday cake. The palinka was flowing and we gave her flowers and sang “Happy Birthday” which the Romanians in the group loved. After much hugs and kisses, we had to leave our host and then leave Romania. I cannot recommend enough a tour with Mihai and I Travel In Romania. Romania is a fascinating country that mixes modern, communism, rural and medieval all in one area. Mihai helped us understand Romania and all that it has to offer. The people are warm; the food is excellent and plentiful and I Travel In Romania is the tour company to pick to understand and experience it all. Beth and Doug K - USA

We just returned from an 11 day private tour in Romania with Mihai. My husband and I traveled with my sister and her husband, and we had a truly wonderful time. Mihai is an absolutely wonderful guide! He is professional, knowledgeable, warm and friendly. His English is great. As we were planning the trip, Mihai was in frequent contact with us making sure he tailored our visit to our specific interests. When we had questions or changes, he responded to our emails immediately. During the trip, Mihai took the utmost care of us. He was unavailable the first couple of days of our trip, so he arranged for his colleague, Andreea, to help us. She was an absolute delight as well! She was a huge help at the airport when my luggage was lost, and she was a joyful and informative guide! Mihai met us in Brasov and took it from there. He drove us from Brasov up to the Maramures in the north, and all the way back to Bucharest again, stopping along the way to visit many beautiful and interesting sites and cities. He was our driver, translator and guide. The restaurants he suggested along the way were all fabulous, and I know we came back a little heavier than when we arrived! I would definitely recommend traveling to Romania. The country is beautiful and the people are warm and welcoming. It is an affordable country with amazing traditions you can still experience, especially in the rural areas. And I most certainly would recommend Mihai and his company. I can't imagine anyone doing a better job. When it was time to go, we felt like we were leaving a friend! He led us on an adventure we will always remember, and we are very grateful!

Mihai is an nice, honest and reliable certified guide. He provided clear, helpful advices and quotations for our 10 days trip around Romania. Very knowledgeable and passionate about his country, he introduced us in details to the rich history, diverse culture and places of the country with a sociable, positive and proactive attitude. Mihai is also an excellent driver. We were dilighted about our trip with him and we strongly recommand his services.

Mihai is personable, knowledgeable and an outstanding guide. We planned a private tour of Transylvania with Mihai’s assistance. He asked questions to insure that we did and saw what interests us, not a cookie cutter trip. We had booked a three week journey with him that unfortunately was cancelled due to Covid. Fortunately we were able connect with him post Covid. Transylvania is a great destination. If you are planning a trip there we highly recommend connecting with him. As an aside, he is an excellent and very safe driver.

An absolutely fantastic tour with friends, with Mihai as the guide! The itinerary was well thought out, hotels were charming, and Mihai was the best: knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. We saw all the highlights: Peles Castle, Brasov Old Town, Viscri Saxon village and the fortified church, Sighisoara Citadel, and of course, Bran Castle. We also had a delicious lunch of Romanian cuisine cooked by a local lady. Definitely recommend this to everyone!

What a great experience. We saw the majestic nature of Romania, visited the lovely town of Brasov and the Peles castle (you should definitely go to this one). We then went to Viscri and the fortified church (if you are not scared of heights, do go up to the roof and enjoy the spectacular views). The dracula castle is nested in the trees, and is really spectacular (although the inside is a bit underwhelming - esp if compared to Peles!). We had some great time, and Mihai, our guide was the greatest. He was very knowledgeable, helpful, and flexible when needed, to adjust the trip to our needs.

4 friends and I booked a 3-day tour with Mihai and had a WONDERFUL time. The route was carefully planned out but not rigid, he is an exceptionally good driver, and a pleasure to be around. The tour highlights were Peles Castle (stunning!!!), a day in an authentic Roma village, and Bran castle. This trip was the highlight of my trip to Romania and Mihai’s knowledge of the are made our visit informative as well as fun. Would 100% book work Mihai again.

Really enjoyed this trip. Mihai looked after us really well, and he has superb knowledge of the history of the region. Accommodation in the traditional hotels was really comfortable. Plan to do the more northern leg next time!

I would highly recommend Mihai for a tour in Romania. We worked together to customize a tour which worked for us. Mihai was an excellent guide and a very safe driver. We had a very enjoyable tour around Transylvania and saw many great sights including castles, Saxon villages, monasteries and Bears.

One of the worst place to take bus, scammers were everywhere!!! Impoliteness manner by the staffs. Watchout.

Absolutely beautiful tour of Romania with our new friend Mihai, who was always enthusiastic about sharing knowledge of his home country. If you're comparing tours, know that Mihai and his company provide a customizable experience, in a comfortable vehicle, and he is honestly the best driver I've experienced in visits to over 65 countries. Driving the transfagarasan on this tour was an absolute delight, seeing the beauty of the countryside, the "real" Dracula castle, and several adorable brown bears along the way. Definitely my go to guide for my next visit!

We did the tour of the city of Bucharest to learn all about the communist history of the country in general and the city in particular. The tour covered the period from WWI right up until the revolution in 1989. The guide (Andreea) was knowledgeable and told us all about the city's development and how the Ceaușescu regime impacted that. She covered a lot of information about how the people experienced life during that time. A real must for lovers of this period of history.

Amazing private Romanian tour with Compas Tour Romania company. Our guide George and driver Marian made our experience very special adjusting to our specific interests. .

We have just returned from a 14 day private tour of Romania organised by Mihai from I Travel In Romania. We had the most wonderful time. We saw and experienced so much and a lot of it was down to Mihai who is a fantastic tour guide. His passion for his homeland, amazing knowledge of its history and culture and his willingness to go the extra mile when he knew we were particularly interested in something really made the holiday. He is a fantastic ambassador for Romania and helped us make memories we will always cherish. Due to other commitments, he couldn't be our guide for the whole trip, but the 2 other people he lined up for us were also excellent. It's so hard to pick out highlights, but some favourites include the Maramures region where we met locals scything the grass and were invited to meet one old lady's pigs! We also loved watching another lady hand painting some eggs, which was so incredibly skillful and visiting a woollen mill where they made rugs still powered by a waterwheel. Romania is also famous for its painted monasteries and wooden churches which we really appreciated especially as Mihai arranged an off the cuff memorable private tour with a nun for one church and our guide for the wooden church in Breb burst into spontaneous song which brought tears to the eyes. I particularly liked the historical aspect of the trip and enjoyed following in the footsteps of the four generations of the royal family. Of course, we saw some spectacular scenery too and finished on a real high for us doing some bird spotting in the Danube delta which I highly recommend. Mihai was extremely efficient from the get go when I first initiated contact with him and tweaked the private tour to suit our interests and dates. He always responded to any queries very quickly and did his best to ensure that we were satisfied at all times. I can't recommend this tour or Mihai's Company, I Travel In Romania, enough.

Highly recommended tour if you want to see the highlights of Bucharest in one day. Thank you, Mihai for a wonderful day in Bucharest! We had a great time thanks to you! Thank you for being so flexible and patient with us! Multumim! Svitlana, Liudmila and Lev
