The day tour to the Danube Delta was an incredible experience and showed us a completely different side of Romania. The tour is organized in very small groups, which gives the whole trip a much more personal and private feel—far removed from the usual crowded tourist buses. Our tour guide, Narcis, was fantastic. Even during the drive to the Delta, he provided us with plenty of interesting information and was always available to answer any questions. He genuinely cared about the well-being of the group, making sure everyone felt comfortable and included throughout the day. The absolute highlight was the Boattour on the Delta itself. Surrounded by untouched nature, beautiful waterways, and a colorful array of wildlife, it was a peaceful and unforgettable part of the experience. We would absolutely recommend this tour 100%!

Be prepared for a long journey of 7-8 hours on the road. The driver, who also served as a tour guide, worked very hard, so I can't complain about anything. Lunch cost 80 local currency and was delicious, including fish soup, fried fish, and drinks. There were hardly any birds to see, but we enjoyed the view of the Danube Delta and the wetland ecosystem from the speedboat.

The boat trip to the water lily fields, herons, and pelicans was a very enjoyable educational trip. The "captain" took us to the right place at the right time to watch the sunset. Thanks to his excellent English skills, he was able to answer all our questions perfectly. Unfortunately, there were only two of us, which meant that our ecological footprint was quite large.

Very informative tour. Very friendly tour guide who provided lots of information. The food on the island was also very good and the atmosphere was informal. I can highly recommend this tour. We were a group of 6 people and everyone enjoyed it. There were 9 people in total on the boat.
