Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Manastirea Voronet, Strada Voronet 166, Voronet 725301 Romania

Voronet Monastery was built in 1488 in record time: three months, three weeks and three days, today being part of the UNESCO heritage. The exterior murals have preserved their hues despite centuries of inclement weather, but the ingredients used in preparing the paints are still a mystery. The scenes in the murals depict, like a movie, the history of Christianity, presented in an original manner, very much influenced by folk beliefs, by the Eastern culture, but also by the Orthodox thought.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Moldovita Monastery, Vatra Moldovitei 727595 Romania

Moldovita Monastery, included in the UNESCO heritage in 1993, was built between 1532 and 1537. For hundreds of years, the murals were the only way uneducated country dwellers could learn about the teachings of the Bible. The frescoes are an immense color illustration of Biblical scenes, adapted to the history of the place and to the important moments in the life of the community.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Sucevita Monastery, Dn17a 169, Sucevita 727510 Romania

Sucevita Monastery is the newest of the Painted Monasteries of Bukovina, and it was included in the UNESCO Heritage in 1993. It was built in a Moldavian style, with Gothic and Byzantine influences. The murals are dominated by a shade of green, obtained through an ancient technique from natural pigments.

I am amazed that tourists do not swarm these magnificent testaments to human achievement. The interiors are breathtaking, and the backdrop of small towns with their horses and carts was irresistible. I would place this as the number one attraction in Romania.

I would like to take the time and recommend this tour for anyone that wants to discover the beautiful Romania. This tour was very pleasant was very informative, and very well organized so I would like to recommend it to everyone. Also I would like take the time to tell you about our guide Mr. Niku . Never before I met such a guide. This guide working for Rolandia tours is the most informative the most humble guide I have ever met. He took us to the Bucovina area he was our driver and our guide. This is one of the most recommended guide that you must take when you arrive to the Iasi area . When you do and take Rolandia tours as your agency ,please ask for Mr. Niku to be your guide. You will never be sorry taking this guide, I fully recommend this tour for anyone and I fully advice everyone who takes this tour to ask for Mr.Niku to be your guide.
