Fantastic tour

5.00The tour with Sebastian was a highlight of our time in Romania. Of course the painted Monasteries are spectacular, but Sebastian's guiding meant we really got so much more understanding of their significance and the details of the images. He has great knowledge and love for these places which he generously shares with visitors. We would love to return and take one of his other tours around Bucovina!
Unforgettable Monasteries

5.00My girlfriend and I have spent a dense week going around Romania, and our last stop was the tour of the monasteries of Bucovina, led by Sebastian. Sebastian explained step by step the history, characteristics and meaning of each of those wonderful monasteries with clarity, passion and great thoroughness. He also showed us some breathtaking views, beautiful (and affordable) handmade ceramics and took us to a great restaurant. He was friendly and available throughout the tour. It was a great epilogue for our trip!

5.00Benjamin/Gigi was very friendly and knowledgeable! I asked him about a few different things and he was able to answer in clear manner. At each monastery, he explains things that are most important and then give you ample time to wander around. I have been on other tours where guides go on long and boring explanations and Benjamin doesn't do that, which makes me very happy. At each monastery, he explains what makes the place important and unique -- and at the end of the day, that's all you are gonna remember anyways. Great Experience!

5.00Sebastian, our guide, was so knowledgeable about these monasteries. We could have driven around and seen them all ourselves but we never would have noticed all of the symbolism put in the paintings.
Excellent

5.00Excellent! Fully recommended. Sebastian is a great guide, tells the story of his country passionately and cares about all the details. If you pass through Suceava or are in that region it is worth taking a tour with it.

5.00The tour exceeded all expectations. The monastery murals are beautiful and stunning, and our guide Sebastian (Gigi san) gave us detailed background on each of the murals, including the storyteller and drawing. We also learned about the history of the Bukovina region and it was an informative tour. I recommend it.
A must see!
