7-day couple trip to Romania

“We used RoughGuides to plan the land-portion of our trip in Romania. We discussed our goals and interests and then agreed on the trip plan, the types of hotels we like, etc. After that, Corina took care of everything. Once we arrived in Bucharest, we were contacted via WhatsApp by Alin, who was our guide and driver for the entire trip. He did a great job driving and explaining things, suggesting restaurants, etc. It was our first time using RoughGuides, and we'd be happy to use them again. Also, we had just finished a cruise where we were often on excursions with 38 of our new best friends - so it was a real joy to be just the three of us (me, my husband, and our guide) in a small car!”

Dear Sheila, Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for taking the time to share your experience. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your trip in Romania and that the itinerary, hotels, and overall planning matched what you were looking for. It was a pleasure for me to take care of the local arrangements for your journey, and we are especially glad that Alin made the trip comfortable, and enjoyable for you. We loved reading that, after your cruise excursions with larger groups, it felt like a joy to travel privately through Romania with just the three of you. This is exactly the kind of personal and relaxed experience that we, Secret Romania, and our partners at Rough Guides love creating for travelers. Thank you again for your kind words. We wish you and your husband many more beautiful journeys ahead!

12-day couple trip to Romania

“We organised a 3-week tour of Bulgaria and Romania with Corina through Rough Guides. We couldn't be happier with the result. Corina helped us to plan a tour in line with our interests and requests, while making suggestions to improve our experience. All the guides were experienced, helpful and flexible. The hotels were all in central locations and perfect for our accommodation needs. We learned so much about these two countries and had a great time. We very highly recommend this service.”
