How many people will be with me on the tour?
Typically in our small group day or multi day tours you will be sharing your experiences with maximum 8 travelers and the guide will lead the group. While itineraries are prearranged there is some flexibility and you'll have plenty of privacy. Trips are suitable to travelers of all ages who enjoy meeting new people as well as seeing new places.
In general all the adventure day or multi day tours (trekking, hiking, biking) are private - we are not mixing people - so the flexibility and privacy of the itineraries are one of the main strong points.
Will I able to speak with people in English?
The official and spoken language of the country is Romanian. People have English, French or German as their second language as they were taught these at school. Anyhow, an increasing number of people are speaking English.
It is appreciated by locals if travelers learn some basic Romanian before their trip. A few words are surprisingly easy to master and will help in communicating with local people.
I am on special diet. Is it hard for me when I travel around Romania?
Are you worrying about your diet and thinking and keeping it in Romania is difficult? But it is not that difficult. Please let us know in advance what you do and don’t eat. As veganism grows in popularity, vegan and vegetarian restaurants are popping up around our most important cities. You may find plenty of selection of restaurants and other many no-vegan restaurants can serve you what you request, also. Even some of local guesthouses from villages arrange your meals as you request to us.
What transportation options are available on our tours?
Cars, 7/8/19+1 seats minibuses.
How much do I tip? About tipping etiquette.
Though by definition a tip is never legally required, it is recommended when you are on tour. This is not spoiling the market or ruining hospitality, it is simply being fair. Tips vary depending on the length and complexity of the trip, the number of staff on the trip and the number of clients on the trip. Generally groups like to meet together before the end of the tour to discuss how much they would like to tip each staff member based on their individual experience. Tipping in hotels and restaurants is up to you, but 10% never goes wrong here.
