FAQs
All tours are priced from a base rate that applies for a minimum of 6 people/booking. Final pricing may vary depending on the number of travellers, preferred level of customization, and any optional add-ons. If you're travelling solo or would like to book a private tour for your group, we’ll provide a tailored quote when you send your request.
Romanian cuisine has a diverse range of dishes, some being only plant-based, and the food tasting will usually contain a sample of all, so there is diversity for all tastes and needs. For full meals organised by us, please let us know during the booking process of any requirements to make sure the menu is adapted to your dietary conditions.
To keep our tours flexible and fairly priced for everyone, we don’t bundle entry tickets. Most attractions offer different pricing for children, students or seniors, so we’ll help you select and purchase the most suitable option for your group on the day. Tickets can also be arranged in advance on request.
