We had a 2 day tour of the Maramures wooden churches with Sebastian of AXA travels. We'd spent the day prior visiting the Painted monasteries with Sebastian. Sebastian is a great driver and the car was very comfortable. He was keen to show us other features of life in the local villages and towns such as carved gateways, decorated houses and old homes. Some of the wooden churches were locked but Sebastian had the contact details for the caretakers and was able to ring ahead to have them opened. Day 2 of our tour was a Sunday so we were able to see one of the church services with some of the parishioners in traditional dress. Our meal breaks on the road were at restaurants with delicious traditional soups. Overnight stop was at Pensione Ardelean and Romona was the host. The pensione was lovely and clean with delicious home cooked dinner and breakfast. We had a great tour and couldn't have seen all this without Sebastian.
It was a fun tour.
