A wonderful trip! The Danube Delta trip was the best idea of my trip to Bucharest. We were a small, tight-knit group and our guide did everything to make us feel at home. The boat trip lasted more than 3 hours and was beyond expectations, even with lunch in a typical local fish restaurant. Recommended! Beautiful landscapes and really easy bird watching, especially for pelicans. No mosquitoes

It's totally worth it! The boat is wow and the whole stay was very pleasant! Don't forget to have cash with you!!!! 🫣 for entry into the forest and a fish meal for lunch!

the excursion is magnificent and the boat is very comfortable and large even though we were only 2 people. They could offer something to drink even for a fee

Very nice ride on the Danube Delta with our pilot Liviu. A great time spent

Incredible day trip and Ali was a great guide! Would recommend
