Travel Review: Luxury Trip to Romania, Transylvania, Bucharest, Maramures, Moldavia

Probably skip Bucharest and the well publicized Transfagarasan highway.  Bucharest is not a charming large city and the Transfagarasan highway is promoted by Romania tourism because it is their most recent project. It is a long drive to get to Transylvania. We would fly directly to one of the smaller centers of Transylvania or alternately start and end in Budapest and not travel the southern part of the country.

We would also like the guides to have business cards so that we could remember them and recognize the especially talented ones. Most of them had Romania names that we could never pronounce from the onset yet they spoke English so well. We could then give you feedback on some of the outstanding guides as they deserve credit for a job well done.
