A private wine day in Dealu Mare
Tastings arranged entirely around your own interests and pace, with as much or as little detail as you'd like.
Private & Tailor-Made Journeys
Built around you — your interests, your pace, your dates and the Romania you want to discover.
For travellers who know roughly what they want from Romania and would like it shaped precisely around that. A private journey with no fixed group schedule, built around your own interests, pace and dates from the start.
What this journey is about
Some trips don't fit a set itinerary, and that's exactly the point.
A private journey is built around your interests, your pace and your dates, with a private driver-guide throughout rather than a fixed group schedule. If you want three unhurried days in one region and a single night somewhere else, that's simply how it's planned — nothing is forced to fit a template.
This format gives the most flexibility of any of our trips. History, nature, food, wine, quiet time, a particular region — you tell us what matters, and the route, accommodation and pace are designed around it, with the freedom to adjust once the trip is under way.
Tailor-made journeys suit:
- Couples marking an occasion, or wanting more flexibility than a group allows
- Families travelling with children, or three generations travelling together
- Friends who'd rather set their own rhythm than follow someone else's schedule
A private driver-guide travels with you the whole way, so plans can flex as the trip goes on, and days can be as full or as relaxed as you like.

How we design these journeys
We start by listening, then design around what we hear.
A private journey only works if it genuinely reflects what you asked for, so we start with a proper conversation before suggesting a single stop.
Principles we work to:
- The route shaped entirely by your stated interests and dates
- A private driver-guide throughout, never mixed into a group schedule
- Realistic pacing for who's travelling, from young families to grandparents
- Flexibility built in, so the plan can shift once you're on the trip
- Accommodation matched to what you've told us matters most
- Everything confirmed and agreed with you before you travel

Questions before you book
How do I book a trip?
Choose the tour that suits you and send your enquiry from its page, or use "Build your trip" for something tailor-made. We reply personally, usually with a few questions, then put together availability and next steps around your dates.
How does payment work?
A 30% deposit secures your place on a trip, with the balance due before departure. Payment details, deadlines and accepted methods are shown clearly on each tour, and we're always happy to talk you through them directly.
Can I pay in GBP or EUR?
Most of our tours are priced in GBP. Where a tour is priced in EUR, you can also pay in GBP, converted at our bank's exchange rate plus a small margin, which simply covers the currency risk on our side.
What's included in the price?
Every tour lists exactly what's included and what's not, under "What's included" and "What's not included" on its own page, so you know precisely what you're paying for before you book, with nothing hidden or assumed.
Who are the trips for?
All ages: young couples, families, multi-generational groups, and travellers who have time to travel differently. Every tour shows its pace, easy, moderate or active, so you can see straightaway whether it suits you and your travelling companions.
What if the group doesn't fill up?
Each small-group tour states its minimum group size and what happens if that number isn't reached. We'll always contact you well in advance if a departure needs to change, and we'll talk through your options together.
Not sure which journey is right for you?
Tell us who's travelling, when and what you'd love to experience. We'll suggest the right route, with no obligation.
