Our guide Valentin Val Nan was extremely knowledgeable, pleasant, courteous, and considerate. He accommodated some changes to the schedule that we suggested, including visits to Konstanza and Histria. Val made our trip to beautiful Romania memorable. We plan to use Viator in the future and recommend the company to anyone--Michele and George
