Crossroads of Balkan Empires featuring Romania & Transylvania, Serbia & Bulgaria

What a unique adventure! From Serbia’s vibrant capital of Belgrade, through to delightful Sofia in Bulgaria. In the middle? Romantic Romania, alluring Transylvania, the Carpathian Mountains and Wallachia. A land rich in history, culture and colour… a land where you will still be able to see horse and carts pulling giant piles of hay, where bears thrive in the deep forests, where UNESCO listed, perfectly preserved Saxon towns and villages litter the countryside, and where churches are fortified with giant walls to fend off attack. You will visit ancient castles like Golubac built to defend Europe’s biggest gorge, you will cruise through the Danube’s Iron Gates, see a monstrous kingly rock carving, take in Lepenski Vir – Europe’s oldest settlement, dine at dusk on a terrace overlooking the Danube and visit the strange, but oh so photogenic, Negotin Wine villages for lunch and a wine tasting! Three nights in Sibiu will entrance you, the hairpin bends of the stunning Transfăgărășan mountain road will enthuse you, the Libearty Bear Sanctuary will warm you, the perfect gem city of Sighișoara will stimulate you. In ancient Veliko Tarnovo we experience an amazing Sound and Light Show, at Bran we enjoy a private tour of ‘Dracula’s Castle’, we dine in a huge Transylvanian Forest igloo, and lunch in a Rose Distillery where the divine dessert cake is actually made with Rose petals! What an awesome tour, come join us!
