Group Travel Tour Operator for holidays to Romania & Bulgaria

 Bulgaria; one of the oldest states on the European continent

Bulgaria is a country with thousands of years of history and a cultural heritage that embraces ancient civilisations. The country’s cities are a delight to explore – from dynamic and cosmopolitan Sofia with its beautiful parks, and massive cultural melting pot. The city’s landmarks reflect more than 2,000 years of history, including Greek, Roman, Ottoman and Soviet occupation. Like Sofia, the Romans left their mark in Plovdiv. Monuments of various civilisations are a step apart across this city and Like Rome, Plovdiv boasts seven hills. None more ancient than Nebet Tepe hill, an ancient village, from the seventh century BC where the Thracian’s built one of the oldest urban settlements in Europe. Due to Plovdiv’s location in central Bulgaria, the city was commonly used on the route to Greece or Turkey and has always been one of Bulgaria’s wealthiest and most cosmopolitan.

Romania and the heart of Transylvania

The tour begins in Romania’s capital city, Bucharest. It boasts interesting museums, wonderful parks and trendy cafes. While much of the centre is modern and garish, history is tucked away in quiet corners. Explore the Old Town’s splendid 17th- and 18th-century Orthodox churches and graceful art nouveau villas. Also, in Romania, discover the breathtaking Carpathian Mountains, the medieval city of Sibiu and Peles Castle. A visit to Romania would not be complete without visiting Transylvania, Dracula’s ‘birthplace’ Sighisoara and his ‘home’ at Bran Castle. Transylvania is a tapestry of picturesque scenery, quaint villages and crumbling citadels. The towns of meandering cobblestone streets and medieval towers fulfil fantasies of Romanian beauty. From the stony lanes and pastel-hued buildings of Sighisoara –  the medieval citadel where Vlad the Impaler (Count Dracula) took his first steps.
