"Just to say a big thank you for organising our trip for us, everything went like clockwork. We had an absolutely fabulous time, it's a trip we'll never forget. I'm recommending Romania and your service to anyone who will listen!"
C.P. (Sheffield)
"We thoroughly enjoyed the itinerary you provided for us for the past 2 weeks in Romania - a beautiful and fascinating country. Our guide to the Painted Monasteries, Sorin, was excellent, as were our stays in Bucharest, Voronet, Cluj and Sighisoara. We found enormous contrasts between city and country which we thought didn't exist in modern Europe, Thanks very much.
C.&V. T. (Nottinghamshire)
"Just to let you know that we had a fabulous holiday in Romania. What a wonderful country it is. All your arrangements wnet like clockwork except that we got off the train at Suceava instead of Suceava Nord - but Sorin came and collected us. Sorin was a wonderful guide and took good care of us, as did all the staff at Miclosoara. They couldn't have been kinder ande it has a wonderful atmosphere. Many thanks. J.F. (Norwich)
"Just had to let you know what a wonderful holiday we had. The organisation was brilliant and everyone was so friendly and accommodating. A very special thanks to John Matthews who was excellent, making the Romanian part of our holiday really superb. Please pass on our sincere thanks. The Villa Jasmine (Bulgaria) was great and Vessey was very helpful. Overall a really exciting and relaxing holiday which was truly a trip full of memories to treasure. THANK YOU." JK & Family (Wirral)
"It was a most interesting and enjoyable holiday, which we could certainly not have arranged ourselves, and we have experienced and learned a huge amount about a very fascinating and diverse country. You must have spent a lot of time and trouble making the arrangements, so thankyou very much indeed. " J.N. (London N3)
"What a trip, the best yet, bith successful and enjoyable. The best balanced trip out of our five visits. Thanks from the four of us for the organisation" DB (Cheshire)
"Hi - just got back - a really fantastic holiday - what an amazing place" T.H. (London W14)
"This is just to say waht a wonderful guide Sorin was for the Painted Monasteries; he really made our trip. His technical knowledge of the icons as well as his enthusiasm was wonderful. Alll the meet and greets went well so it was very unstressful. HH (East Sussex)

"A unique and joyous experience. Was handled by 'Transylvania Uncovered' and felt secure in the city of Iasi which is not widely known as a tourist destination. All the travel arrangements worked out well and the Romanian people are very hospitable once you get to know them. I had such a good time that I cried when I left! I highly recommended the Hotel Moldova's refurbished apartments as very large, and definitely value for money compared to UK prices. Finally, really struggled to spend more than £20 per day as everything so cheap. As long as you tip everyone at least 10000 Lei (20p to us) they will be ecstatic! Thanks for all the advice and time spent on my never ending requests." VPD (Bournemouth)
"I feel I should thankyou for helping to organise our honeymoon in Transylvania. We had the most fantastic time. Count Kalnoky's, the food, the people, the scenery, the alcohol! Wow what a place. We are even considering buying a small property in the village, it's such a beautiful place. They treated us like royalty. We had champagne in our room. We had the whole house to ourselves, met the Count. We even managed to go bear tracking, much to M's (our guide) distaste! We were walking from village to village, through the forest, when we met a farmer. He sent us in the right direction, (as we were lost!) and got chatting. It turned out that he was the forester & offered to take us into the forest at dusk. We saw a bear, lots of boar, deer & hares. I must say it was the best evening of our holiday. The weather was very warm, one day of drizzle, and I really wish we'd had two weeks. Every evening we sat outside the little 'pub' and watched the cows coming home! People , at home, don't believe that they come home on their own! Thankyou so much for our wonderful holiday." N.B. (Warwick)
It seems so trite to say "thank you" but nevertheless true for arranging such a varied and interesting itinerary for us during our stay in Romania. Sorin Fodor was a splendid guide - always punctual, courteous and helpful in answering our endless questions about Romania, and his love and knowledge about the monasteries.' S.C. (Chester)
'We both loved our time in Romania. Thank you for making such imaculate arrangements. We can both quite see why you are seduced by it, and its people." R.W. (London)
"I thought I would just drop you a line to say everyone has returned safe and sound from Romania and have thoroughly enjoyed their trip. They said Sighisoara was fantastic, and they had dinner at Caru cu Bere in Bucharest and ended up dancing to Romanian folk music" Fashion Group (UK)
"This was a most enjoyable and interesting holiday. The tour of Bucharest and, in particular the visit to the village museum was of great interest, and our young English speaking driver was able to give us an insight into the recent history of the country. The main purpose of our visit was, of course, to visit the Painted Monasteries of the Bucovina. This surpassed all expectations. We found the monasteries marvellous. Our visit was greatly enhanced by Sorin Fodor, our guide and driver, of whom neither my wife nor I can speak too highly. Quite apart from being a skilled driver and a good English speaker his enthusiasm and knowledge of the area and the monasteries waqs excellent and we would be grateful if you would pass on our thanks to him for the wonderful time he gave us. The friendliness of all the staff at Casa Elena also added to our enjoyment of the area."
JH (Dorset)
"We had a fabulous holiday in Transylvania and having you organise so much of it made it so much easier to enjoy. We had a great time, especially at the Count's but everywhere else was fascinating and enjoyable too."
RM (London)
"Just to say we are having an excellent time in Eforie Nord, Hotel Phoenix is great - perfect for all our differing ages. I thank you for steering us clear of something a little less expensive. The prospect of pumping music next door would have driven my parents to despair!!! Thanks again." W,D. (Norfolk, UK)
"Just to let you know that our holiday was just perfect. Our friends were really impressed with my choice of holiday, and how well it had been arranged. Count Kalnoky and his staff made it memorable and we all agreed that we would like to return, perhaps during a different season. Once again than you for your contribution."
M.B. (Bucks,UK)
"We have just returned from a wonderful trip to Hungary and Romania. The old dictator's house in Timisoara was interesting and we were upgraded to a huge 3 room suite, probably Ceausescu's own! Good food in teh restaurant and extremely good value." N.F. (Sweden)
"This is just a quick note to let you know that we have arrived home safe and sound after a lovely holiday that went exactly to plan. As always there were times when things were not as we expected/ imagined but that is the charm/ excitement of every holiday. We both had a great time and met some lovely people, especially at Miclosoara, where everyone were so friendly and welcoming, they made our stay memorable. Thank you again for your help and exceptional organisation." R.C. (London)
Just to say thank you for arranging our trip. Wehad a wonderful time and managed to find my mother-in-law's house and various other places she wanted to see once more. Everything went very smoothly and we found the Romanian people delightful. Fortunately the temperature didn't quite get to 40 which was a relief as the trains were very hot, but people love to chat and try out their command of the English language so the train journeys pass very quickly. We even came across a few people who still speak thye old Saxon dialect so mum was thrilled to bits. Thank you again for the arrangements; we would certainly recommend Romania, and your company, to our friends." J.S. (Suffolk, UK)
"We returned this week from a most delightful holidy in Romania and want to thank you for all that you did to make the necessary arrangements. All worked wonderfully well and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in that beautiful country. We were a little apprehensive when we met at Simeria and learned that we were being looked after by the teenage sons of the family at Casa Bunea, but we were well looked after and taken on the various trips. Corvin Castle was magnificent, better than I expected, and Colt Castle was a surprise. I had found no reference to it elsewhere. We also were delighted with Timaisoara where we had an excellent and most informative city tour. We shall certainly recommend 'Transylvania Uncovered' to any friends who show an interest in that part of the world. Please keep us informed of any new developments you plan. Thank you again." R.O. (Wilts,UK)
" I just write to thank you for everything. The trip to Roumania was fantastic. I think I will go back some day, but this time during the winter. Please send my greetings to Tibor, Levente, Julian and all the nice people you are working with. They made my stay in Roumania to be really great. Thanks again" EPT. (Mexico City)
"Just a note to thank you for arranging our Romanian Holiday for us. It was absolutely wonderful and I thought that even the Rough Guide did not do justice to some areas. Everything went according to plan and in terms of problems it was totally uneventful." NG (Pimlico, UK)
"Thankyou for helping arrange our recent trip to Romania. We had a great time despite the changable weather! The homes that had been arranged for us to stay in were superb and we were treated like Kings & Queens. Romania is a beautiful country and the people are so hospitable, and every time we return home we leave our hearts there"
BN (Suffolk, UK)
"We would like to thank you for your help in giving us a wonderful holiday in Romania. We stayed at Cerbul Carpatin on your recommendation and found the people, the atmosphere o be absolutely wonderful. We therefore thank you and would like to use you again - next year to (a) revisit Cerbul Carpatin, and (b) go further afield to Brasov District. Again many thanks for your help and we look forward to our next visit to Romania" FS (West Yorkshire, UK)
