This was such an amazing experience in the countryside of Romania. Everything was absolutely perfect. Our guide, Josif, really made the trip for us! He provided so much interesting information about the area and the history to provide us an understanding and background of the area. The overnight stay was very comfortable and clean. All the food stops were perfect too! I wouldn't change anything!

Our trip in maramures was great. We had a really exceptional guide (Joseph) who was able to explain us all the history of Romania and of this specific region. His knowledge is very broad on all type of subjects. The tour and the region was great and we learn many things. We strongly recommend this type of tour.
