Come to Romania to enjoy the real life of this beautiful country. You’ll meet local people, have the chance to see and feel how they live, what they cook. Romania is an interesting country. We are at the Eastern border of Europe, having in our cuisine influences from the Orient but also Western ones. For example, you will find here the famous Mediterranean “sarma” (to be found in Turkey and Greece) but in a Romanian version. This means that we do not use vine leaves, but sour cabbage instead; we do not fill it with rice, but with pork meat; it is not an appetizer, but a main course and we can tell that the taste is wonderful! Come and meet our mixed culture, our orthodox world and our pre-Christian traditions.

You’ll receive a Romanian cookbook in English with recipes that you will cook yourself and we guarantee you will not have the same food twice in your meals. You’ll visit three most important regions in Romania and enjoy one full day in each region with the locals.

Lo qué Dice la jente

Esta es solo una breve nota para hacerle saber lo mucho que mi esposa, mi hijo de 10 años y yo disfrutamos nuestro viaje de 5 días por Transilvania la semana pasada con la Sra. Victoria Odobescu como nuestra guía turística. El viaje fue una experiencia maravillosa, gracias en gran parte a la meticulosa planificación, organización y creatividad de la Sra. Odobescu.

Hemos estado en muchas giras en el pasado, pero esta fue de lejos la más encantadora y educativa. Lo recordaremos durante mucho tiempo. La Sra. Odobescu es una consumada profesional y merece ser reconocida como tal. Sin duda recomendaré su compañía de viajes a amigos y familiares.

Querida Victoria!

¡Muchas gracias por presentarnos tu país, su comida y su gente! Nos vamos a casa con muchos recuerdos encantadores, ¡gracias a sus excelentes habilidades de organización!

Mulțumesc!
