Excellent tour guide! Petru is an encyclopedia when it comes to the Romanian and international history! The trip was very pleasant, very smooth ride, you had time to see the sights, and do a bit of little shopping also at the sites. If you take this tour and you have the chance to have Petru as your guide, you are in for a treat! Thank you to Petru our guide and Sorin our driver! 👏👏👏
