Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a private tour or a small group?+
Both options are available. All our custom-built journeys can be private (just your group, any size) or small group (max 12 people, joining others on a fixed departure). When enquiring, just tell us your preference and we will recommend the right format.
Can I choose which regions to visit?+
Absolutely. Region selection is the starting point of every custom journey. You can focus on one region for a short break, combine two or three for a week, or cover all of Romania on an extended tour. We advise on the best combinations based on your time, interests and travel style.
Can you include serious hiking in the mountains?+
Yes. Hiking is one of our specialities. We can build itineraries from gentle valley walks (Level 1) all the way to serious multi-day ridge traverses in the Fagaras or Retezat (Level 4). We always ask about your experience and fitness so we match the trails perfectly. Hiking-specific insurance is required for Level 3 and 4.
Are airport transfers included?+
Yes, airport transfers are included on all tours — both arrival and departure. Your guide or driver will meet you at arrivals with your name, and return you to the airport for your flight home. We also support open jaw routing — fly into Bucharest and home from Cluj, for example — at no extra transfer charge.
Can you adjust the itinerary to my budget?+
Yes. We work with different accommodation levels — from authentic family guesthouses to boutique heritage hotels — and can adjust the pace, region selection and included activities to match your budget. Just tell us your rough target when enquiring and we will design accordingly.
Is this suitable for families, couples and older travellers?+
Yes to all. Romania is excellent for couples looking for something genuinely different. Families with children enjoy the castles, steam trains, wildlife and village life. Older travellers consistently rate Romania as one of the most accessible, safe and rewarding destinations they have visited. We tailor the pace and activities to your group.
How far in advance should I book?+
We recommend booking at least 8–12 weeks in advance for peak summer season (June to September) and for any custom itinerary requiring mountain huts. Shoulder season (May, October) can sometimes be arranged in 4–6 weeks. Last minute enquiries are always welcome — we will always try.
