Why you'll want to go

Because wine tastes better where it was born, poured by the person who made it, with a view of the very hill that gives it its name.

What you'll feel

You'll feel the joy of a lunch that never seems to rush, and the quiet pride of people who love talking about their vineyards.

What you'll discover

The vineyards, the small family cellars, and the way a good Romanian red pairs with a home-cooked meal.

A trip for the taste buds

We fly into Bucharest, then head out among the vines for a visit to a family winery. We taste, we listen, and only then do we sit down to eat.

There's nothing to organise on your end — just plenty to taste.

What our travellers say

★★★★★
“This april I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Romania Soul Tours, and I can truly recommend them to anyone looking to discover the beauty and authenticity of Romania. From the very beginning, everything felt personal and carefully organized. Our guide was a incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable and passionate person who clearly loves what he does. He specializes in private tours in small groups, which makes the whole experience intimate and special. It never felt rushed or overly “touristic”. It felt like traveling with a friend who knows the country inside out. On top of that, the activities he arranged were truly original and memorable. We wanted a mix of history, sport and top attractions- and we got exactly what we expected. Thanks to our guide we didn’t just see Romania- we felt it, understood it, and fell in love with it. It’s a place we will definitely return to, and when we do, we won’t hesitate to travel with Romania Soul Tours again. An unforgettable experience from start to finish!”

“This spring we had the opportunity to discover Romania with Romania Soul Tours and the experience was very positive. It is definitely a recommended option for those who want to get to know the country in a more intimate and authentic way. From the very beginning, you could see the care for organization and attention to detail. Our guide was very attentive, had extensive knowledge and a passion for sharing his culture. In our small group, there was a free and pleasant atmosphere, far from the crowds on the tours. Instead of feeling like a typical tourist, we felt more like a traveler with a friend. The attractions also made a difference: they were well planned, diverse and unconventional. We wanted to combine culture, a bit of activity and visiting cultural sites, and the result exceeded our expectations. We can't wait for the return! ❤️”
