    This trip deserves 10 stars! Andrei was incredibly kind and excellent throughout the entire experience. He provided detailed explanations of each location we visited and answered all our questions about Romania. Although the trip was challenging, Andrei's assistance made it an unforgettable adventure, and we had an amazing day on the Transfăgărășan.

    Amazing experience, part of the road was closed off at the end and we could not see the lake because the road was closed due to weather, but it was told beforehand to us. Serjiu Was awesome and super knowledgeable and accommodating. Took us to a restaurant that we would never have gone to with it so being out of the way and it was very good.
