7-Nights Highlights of Romania & the Danube Delta - Classic from $1,656

Highlights of Romania & the Danube Delta
Where else can you dive into medieval myths, drift through a wildlife-filled wetland, and wander grand castles in the span of a week? On this seven-day adventure through Romania, you’ll uncover a country rich in history, natural beauty, and quirky legends. Begin in Bucharest - nicknamed "Little Paris" - before venturing into Transylvania’s castle-dotted hillsides and ending in the remote calm of the Danube Delta. From vampires to vibrant village life, this trip is anything but ordinary.

Highlights
Visit the ornate Peles Castle nestled in the Carpathian Mountains, Step into the legend at Bran Castle also known as Dracula’s Castle, Explore the canals of the Danube Delta by boat on the lookout for birds and wildlife, Admire the French-inspired architecture of Bucharest’s grand boulevards

Accomodation
It is important to note that accommodation in Europe tend to be quite different to other areas of the world you may have travelled in. Buildings and rooms are generally old and may not have been renovated or maintained to the highest standard. Downtown hotels in Europe were not build to be hotels but rich owners houses, which have been changed into hotels. Therefore unusual room sizes are common as large rooms have been partitioned in the past, resulting in rather "thin" walls. Reception areas, rooms and bathrooms tend to be very small as they were often added into an existing room, and may have a hand nozzle rather than a conventional shower head. In one or two locations we use accommodation with shared bathrooms. Staff can occasionally demonstrate less than perfect customer service. As accommodation is in short supply, especially during the summer months, hotels can charge a premium and there is sometimes little motivation to improve facilities. On this trip you can expect to stay in small family-run hotels or pensions (with the exception of the start and finish hotels, which are often larger city hotels), which will vary a little in standard and facilities: some may not have elevators, air-conditioning or English-speaking staff, but most importantly all are locally-run, with some traditional character, and in excellent central locations to give you maximum time for exploring the sights. You can expect to find clean, safe, simple accommodation in convenient locations. Note that most accommodation in Europe does not have air conditioning units in rooms. Air conditioning is not routinely installed in European homes and workplaces. However, nearly all hotels will provide a standing or desk fan for your room on hot nights. If you do not already have one in your room, please ask your CEO to organize one for you with reception.

Group Leader
This G Adventures group trip is accompanied by one of our group leaders. The aim of the group leader is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. They will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the countries visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. We also use local guides where we think more specific knowledge will add to the enjoyment of the places we are visiting - we think it's the best of both worlds.
