    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.
