We spent a wonderful three days with Sorin Fodor as our guide. He figured out quickly how to adjust the planned itinerary to best meet our interests and had the contacts and detailed knowledge of the area to show us much that we would never have discovered on our own. We were particularly interested in Jewish life in the area, and saw the interior of four synagogues instead of one, plus three cemeteries, and the exteriors of at least six other synagogues. We didn't neglect the other sites or learning about other aspects of Romania -- Sorin just put in long and very full days with us.

Our guide, Ovidiu, was beyond expectations. His knowledge of the area, its history, and anecdotes was just the best. Wouldn't have been the same without his guidance.

Romania has treasures well hidden in the countryside - from its imposing Carpathian mountains to the superb traditions and heritage that were declared UNESCO sites - and this boutique tour take you through an informative and fun alike exploration where you will have the opportunity to meet the people in their true unspoiled environment, observe how they have preserved their customs and learn about their history. Ovidiu is an amazing guide, extremely knowledgeable and very very passionate of sharing his love for these places with his tourists! Very friendly, professional, patient and approachable - with a degree in political history and international life experience, Ovidiu was for us the ideal guide! We feel so grateful to have been with him on this fascinating journey!!!!
