When picking up the routes for the sightseeing tours of Romania, we take account of the already "classical" spots: the painted monasteries of Bucovina (Northern Moldavia), the Carpathian area around Brasov and the Prahova Valley (including Sinaia, Predeal, Poiana Brasov a.s.o.), the Maramures, the town Bucharest ... However we think that such a pick leaves much of Romania's charm outside your itinerary, while the above mentioned spots sometimes suffer due to modern mass tourism. |

You'll have a full image of Romania's genuine values. We keep the
classical tourist spots
"in", while adding
new flavors: South-Central Transylvania (the so-called "Saxon" region), Western Valachia ("Oltenia"), the Banat. We also include Danube's Delta in some of our tours. All the time we promote direct, genuine contact with the native inhabitants. The tours of Romania are fully guided; the accommodation is provided in good value hotels and pensions/mansions throughout the country.

R3E: Old Europe in Transylvania and the Banat (9 days) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
On the brinks of the continent, true European spirit left deep marks. Discover the Middle Age towns of Transylvania, reminding on the original German Gothic (now so scarce in Germany!) and the lofty, baroque atmosphere of the Banat. Romanians, Germans, Hungarians and many others shaped this multicultural area; the following economical decay in the XX-th century preserved this surprising cultural image of the European past. But it's all alive! |

R4E: Where the Time Stood Still / Transylvania and Bucovina (10 days) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
This tour shows you the ancient civilisation of Northern Romania. Splendid works of art seem to be rising naturally up from the surrounding environment. The Maramures area in the extreme North brought the wood carving to its peak, while the frescoes of the Moldavian monasteries still shine in vivid colors, five centuries after their birth. The German Saxon villages in central Transylvania remind on a culture that flourished for 900 yeas so far away from its original homeland. |    |

R5E: Cultural Interferences / South-Western Romania (8 days) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The Banat, the Hateg region (South-Western Transylvania) and the Western Walachia (Oltenia) developed on the same ancient cultural background. Yet nowadays the differences between them are so big, one could think they lie in different countries! It's a concert of diversity, spectacular in every aspect! |
