Evening entry at Therme Bucharest with central pickup and round-trip transfer, plus 4.5 hours in the Palm and Galaxy spa areas.
“It was a great experience. In compare with the other thermal facilities I experienced it was really really amazing, clean and beautiful.”
Bucharest night spa at Therme Bucharest with private transfer, late access to Palm and Galaxy, and geothermal pools in a light-filled botanical setting.
“lovely guide who arrived early so no one had to wait in the cold snow. facilities at therme are fantastic, especially enjoyed bobbing round the steaming lazy river whilst everywhere was covered in snow! really loved drinking cocktails in the pool bar, very reasonable -about £5 a drink.”
Bucharest transfer to Therme for the Night Show, spa access, yoga and Pilates, plus a calm botanical garden evening with a glowing light display.
“Chauffeur à l’avance. Départ légèrement en avance donc. Belle voiture bien entretenue et confortable pour nous emmener jusqu’au SPA. Certes, 50€ n’est pas donné mais l’intérieur est très très beau et grand. Seul « bémol », pleins de petits frais sur place (claquettes obligatoire, sinon payer pour en avoir par exemple). Possibilité moyennant supplément de boire un verre dans la piscine, de se faire masser, massage sur lit à eau automatique,…). Chouette parc aquatique compris également ! Bref, chouette expérience bien que onéreuse. Nous ne regrettons pas pour autant car l’eau colorée par les lumières donne un magnifique résultat.”
Walk in Hoia Baciu Forest at night to Poiana Rotunda, with ponchos and flashlights, plus UFO legends explained in Cluj-Napoca.
“The night tour through the Hoia Baciu forest was incredible! With the legends about the supernatural phenomena, this was exactly the tour we were looking for because it also touched on what could be explained, so it was a perfect blending of the two. Our tour guide Alex was amazing! The pace of the hike was perfect, even though I am out of shape. Somehow, Alex made walking through a dark forest in the middle of the night with a complete stranger not only safe, but actually peaceful and fun.”
Guided Old Town Bucharest stag and hen party night with priority entry, covered admissions, pickup option, and 1 beer plus 3 shots, about 4.5 hours.
“Had a great time with Anne showing us around the city, gave us a good idea of good places to go in the city and a good feeling for the city! Anne was also really helpful throughout are weekend with any help I needed!”
Bucharest evening tour with hotel pickup, English guide, night drive past major sights, then a traditional 3-course Romanian dinner.
“Serban was a great guide. Very knowledgeable regarding history of Bucharest and kept us entertained with his stories of the country. The restaurant was good and we all enjoyed the meal.”
A 4-hour Bucharest nightlife tour from a classy bank-vault mixology bar to late Lipscani pubs, with English guidance, photos, and tips.
“E' stato interessnate visitare Bucarest con qualcuno che ci vive. Conoscere locali nuovi, gente nuova. Il centro, il week end è affollatissimo e la nostra guida ha customizzato i locali in base ai nostri gusti. Gli shots erano veramente buoni. Consigliatissimo!”
Bucharest after dark plus a 3-course Romanian dinner at Caru' cu bere, with 7 pm pickup, small-group guide, and round-trip transport.
“Magnifica serata! Guida cortese e gentile. Ristorante molto carino e tipico. Tutto è stato rispettato nei tempi”
A 1.5-hour Bucharest night sightseeing loop with hotel pickup, an English guide, and quick stops at the Palace of Parliament and Revolution Square.
“We were disappointed with the lighting of the buildings as compared to Viator’s pictures with only 2 stops, there was little opportunity to take pictures of attractions not at these stops eg fountains & the triumphal arch. The guide’s knowledge was good and his approach was friendly. The guide was also very prompt with the pickup time.”
Sunset boat tour in the Danube Delta Water Lily Reserve, with wildlife spotting, local guide stories, and golden photo light near Tulcea.
“The experience on the water through the Danube Delta was wonderful. Our guide was very caring and friendly. There was also some music to match the atmosphere. We were able to observe some animals. The boat also had a roof. Even when it rains, you are sheltered. We are grateful for the experience.”
Celebrate Halloween at Bran Castle with a spooky guided tour, live music tent party, and round-trip transport from Brasov.
“Guiden var jättebra, både kunnig och omtänksam. Med små enkla medel fick han hela gruppen att trivas. Upplägget var mycket bra. Guiden såg till att vi var tidigt på plats på slottet så vi slapp långa köer. Guiden svarade gärna på frågor och tipsade även om andra aktiviteter i närområdet. En extra krydda var att slottet Bran var spökligt dekorerat och bemannat av av spöken och historiska figurer. På tältfesten flödade det av kreativa utstyrslar och DJ spelade bra musik.”
A 2.5-hour small-group evening walk in Brasov, seeing medieval sights by night and finishing with wine near the center.
“The tour guide I had Irene was very professional and knowledgeable of the history of Braşov and of the area. She helped a lot with understanding the culture in Braşov”
