We've been on two tours with Cycling Romania and had a fantastic ride each time. The first was a 40km tour through Saxon villages in Transylvania, including Biertan, and the second tour started with dinner wine-tasting the night before, then a beautiful ride though the hills of Prahova.
Mircea is an outstanding guide. He has some scheduled tours but can also do custom made tours as well. He meticulously scouts out his routes ahead of time and pre-arranges stops not only at the churches, monasteries, etc, but at houses of local villagers, a weaver, a guy with ripe cherry trees in his back yard for instance. And he's always on the lookout for opportunities to help unlock the Romanian culture and history for us--lowering the bucket into a village well to refill our waterbottles, pointing out edible plants, talking to villagers.
The hotel he booked for the group was excellent and he got us a good rate, and the sandwiches he made we delicious. I can't recommend Cycling Romania high enough and we look forward to our next trip with Mircea!
