Good for Adventurous Travelers
Romania is for adventurous travelers interested in exploring cities and cultures that are just opening up to the West. Trips here are ahead of the cutting edge trendy vacations being touted in national magazines and newspapers. Its definitely for travelers who want more than a Been There Done That Experience.
Types of Trips
The name, Cultural RomTour, signifies the emphasis on making sure clients can explore Romania, beyond the obvious tourist sites. If you're going to Transylvania to visit Bran Castle (of Dracula fame), request a side trip for lunch with a local Saxon resident in remote Viscri. Englands Prince Charles has visited the ancient walled church here, because he is the Royal Patron of the Mihai Eminescu Trust, a group that helps preserve ancient buildings and encourage low-key tourism. (Ask about staying in one of the restored homes.) If you want to learn more about Bucharest, called Little Paris early in the 19th century, this company will arrange for a private English-speaking guide to usher you through museums where the information cards are rarely in English.
Whos Your Expert?
The manager, Ana Maria Dora, and the owner, Razvan Balint, have grown up in Romania and have traveled extensively around this country, which is shifting from communism to capitalism. They are equally adept at planning wine trips and monastery visits, or organizing hiking, biking and climbing tours.
