“Traveling to Maramures would not have been the same if we had tried to go on our own. Geta was truly an unbelievable guide, interpreter, and companion on this amazing day. She picked us up promptly and catered to us. Geta shared her stories and gave us incredible insights into the people of the region and of her great country. The three of us all determined that this tour was the highlight of our two weeks in Romania. Geta is so real and smart and gracious. I hope our paths cross again as you don't often meet people like Geta.”

Review of the two-day Maramureș tour from Cluj, with wooden churches, local homes, village food, the Merry Cemetery, and practical booking advice.

“Florin, my guide, was a local boy from the Maramures. This made a huge difference in his knowledge of the area plus the access he had to local villagers. There's no mistaking Florin's passion for history and his people. There's a saying in Maramures that you'll never leave hungry. This is so true, the beautiful food is dished up in abundance. The visits to the wooden churches, the villagers, the Merry Cemetery and other stops are wonderful. I loved this trip. Overnight accommodation was modern and warm (we had a below zero night). Highly recommend”

“As a travel professional of 32 years in the US I have been blessed to travel to six of the seven continents and I would rank this tour in my top three favorite destinations . Our local professional guide, Teo was absolutely the best! What made this tour so spectacular was meeting the locals in their daily lives. This area is not a museum but real people living real lives. Without Teo’s insight as a native the experience would not have had the same impact. Due to his genuine concern for these people he has earned their respect and trust which by association was transferred to us. We were being…”
