A conversation with a Romanian taxi driver in London a few years ago put Romania on
my travel radar. He enthusiastically described the beautiful scenery and many hiking options
available in his home country.
From the beginning of our correspondence with Iulian, he was prompt and efficient in
dealing with our enquiries which gave us confidence in his professionalism.
The outstanding feature of Iulian’s company is that it genuinely offers tours which are
tailored to the specific needs of the group and the itinerary is flexible enough to be
adjusted when necessary to meet the specific needs and interests of the clients.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time hiking and visiting medieval towns and monasteries. The
accommodation, transport and food often exceeded our expectations. As Iulian repeatedly
reminded us, “It’s not 1989 anymore.“
Somehow Iulian even managed to ensure that we samples a different traditional
dessert every evening although even he was unable to spare us the horror of two
petrol stations whose coffee machines were inexplicably
malfunctioning. I’m not joking.
We are literally voting with our feet and are planning to return again next summer for some
further hiking and bird watching. I’m serious.
