5.00My wife and I enjoyed our tour of Iasi, Bucovina, and the Painted Churches, and our private 2 day tour of Moldova this past September. Our Rolandia contact Adelina was very responsive and helpful in setting up our itinerary based on what we wished to do. Leo was our excellent driver guide who was fun, energetic, and knowledgeable. He was also very flexible and willing to add or subtract from our itinerary based on our wishes. The company helped set up a transfer for us, and when the transfer was unexpectedly no longer needed, they refunded the transfer. Rolandia provided us with a top notch experience at a reasonable price. I highly recommend Rolandia for private travelers wishing to visit Romania and Moldova.
Great experience
