We spent 6 days in Romania with Daniel Gheorghita. We are a couple both aged 30 and we don't normally use tour guides but we found Daniel to be fantastic.
Even before arriving in Romania, all his emails and answers to our queries gave us a lot of confidence. It was obvious Daniel put a lot of time into planning our itinerary and corresponding with us.
He designed a very well organised itinerary and there is no way we could have seen all that we did on our own, either in a rental car or by train/bus, and we do a lot of travelling and are good organisers! For example, it was great to have an experience of meeting gypsies and buying a small souvenir from them, which we could not have done without Daniel's help and bargaining skills!!
We travelled to Transylvania and the Maramures with Daniel (having travelled to Bucharest and Brasov on our own up from Bulgaria) and loved both areas for different reasons.
Daniel took us to some great restaurants and sites that we would not have found even though we had a guidebook and did a lot of research before we travelled to Romania.
The accommodation that he booked was really nice from the lovely hotel in Sighisoara to the really nice traditional pensione in the Maramures area.
Daniel was happy to leave us on our own or spend time walking around with us showing us things, and let us decide the timings of things so we felt it was our holiday. Nothing ever seemed too much trouble. He was also very entertaining & knowledgeable about the many sights of Romania, and has an easy-going sense of humour which comes in handy on long car trips!
Daniel was a safe driver, and had a good comfortable car. We thought his prices were very reasonable overall.
Daniel is very professional and thoughtful and after our trip sent us many photos he had taken of us and at the end of the trip arranged a special 'surprise'.
We would recommend Daniel to anyone planning a trip to Romania.

Daniel,
What a wonderful experience. Romania is simply breath taking and I can’t imagine how we could have discovered it with out your assistance. I think we reminded you a couple of times, starting with the moment you picked us up at the airport, that we really don’t care much for Tour Guides. I guess if we had discovered you a few years back or a few countries ago we would have developed a different opinion. Your attention to planning and detail was outstanding. It seemed you paid attention to what was working for us and then shifted and modified things to fit our needs and taste. The hotels you picked out, in a country that is still building a tourist infrastructure, were amazing. And the restaurants, how do you find those places? Each was spectacular, each was different and each was excellent. No tourist is going to find these sorts of places on their own. Your company is entertaining and your knowledge of your country is amazing.
Actually with all there was to see along the way I wouldn’t discourage anyone from making the exact same trip. Thanks to you and your camera I will finally have proof that I have actually been on a vacation (I am ALWAYS behind the camera and so have never appeared in a photo). You are an outstanding photographer. We will be back, I think we only scratched the surface of what Romania is, and we wouldn’t imagine doing it with out you. Please feel free to have anyone contact us for a reference (jsdpda----o.com) it would be our pleasure to recommend you.
Best Wishes,

Daniel Gheorghita from Covinnus Travel “Guiding us through Unspoiled
Romania”
We have just returned from a wonderful ten-day trip to Romania. The best way to see Romania is with a guide and Daniel was an excellent choice. From the moment we saw him waiting with our names upon arrival until our departure through security he took care of every detail (including going to the bank for money exchange so we did not have to do it). We found Daniel to be an outstanding and safe driver, extremely knowledgeable, courteous, patient and has a great sense of humor. We made some changes to the itinerary as we went along and he was most accommodating and flexible. He is sincere and caring that we were happy and satisfied regarding every aspect of the trip.
We are Travel Agents from the USA doing research for future clients. Though most people think of only the Dracula and Transylvania story we found Romania to be an amazing country filled with many other historical sites, picturesque topography from the flat farmlands to the mountains, and warm and friendly people.
Romania surpassed our expectations.
We feel we made a friend forever in Daniel and we will miss him.
We highly recommend Daniel Gheorghita.

I had wanted to visit Romania for a while because of it's picturesque landscapes and rural life.
On the recommendation of a couple from our church I decided to use Daniel Gheoghita as a guide too.
He showed us more than we possibly could've seen on our own. Romania surpassed my expectations. I was completely unaware of the German influence in the country.
Daniel did a good job as a guide since he was flexible with what we were interested in.
Anyone who wants to visit Romania will be well served by Daniel.

We just returned from a 12 day trip to Romania with Daniel Gheorghita as our guide and driver. It was obvious from the start that Daniel had spent a great deal of time planning and preparing for our visit. The trip exceeded our expectations in every way. Daniel was a wonderful, considerate, flexible, knowledgeable guide. His choice of routes led us through photo-ops in abundance. The hotels were all very good and the food was excellent - simple, fresh and tasty and the people were friendly and helpful. The northern part of Romania with its horse drawn wagons, wooden churches, painted monasteries and gorgeous scenery is unique and very worth seeing. Transylvania's walled cities, castles, ski resort, made for another interesting aspect of this country which offers such a variety of places to see. We did not get near the Danube Delta or the Black Sea and now wish we had included those two areas. We were sorry to leave this beautiful country.

To anyone who is thinking of visiting Romania and who wishes to engage the services of a guide, we highly recommend Daniel Gheorghita. He is five stars easily!
My husband and I after a good deal of planning visited Romania for three plus weeks and
spent most of the time with Daniel as our guide.
Our plans included the wooden churches of Maramures, the monasteries of Bukovina, the Bicaz Gorge and a number of cities that we thought would be of interest to us. It was our good fortune that Daniel was our guide. He is intelligent, intuitive and thoroughly knowledgeable about his country as well as being knowledgeable about the roads and routes that we were to take. Once he assessed our interests he presented us with several delightful treats - monasteries that we hadn't thought of visiting, a wonderful visit to Sibiu that had not been in our plans but which we enjoyed enormously. His choice of restaurants and hotels were always good even when the plans changed on the spur of the moment such as the visit to Sibiu.
Daniel was always patient never putting a limit to his time. Many of the sites we visited were a distance from each other and entailed a good amount of driving(he is an excellent driver) but he was always willing to go along with our wishes. My husband is an amateur
photographer and it is always important to him to spend time taking photos and stopping along the way. Aside from his patience in stopping often, Daniel was a first class assistant and also a photographer with a good eye for the beauty that we were seeing.
Romania is a country of extraordinary beauty, warm and delightful people, excellent food and wine and unparalleled national treasures.
Without reservation we recommend Daniel as the person to guide you on
your trip.
We are located in the United States.

Dear Daniel,
The whole six of us very much enjoyed our trip. Romania is an exceptionally beautiful country! I think we all had different highlights but my personal favourites were Peles Castle and Rasnov Fortress - it was particularly amazing to see it illuminated in the darkness.
Our experience with you was a very positive one. We all found you to be informative, good humoured and patient.
We had a fantastic holiday and would have no hesitation in recommending the Romanian countryside, Bucharest and yourself as a guide to anyone - in fact we would actively encourage it!
Once again many thanks for the trip. We will hold many fond memories of it.
As for Bucharest, I feel it is a city that is, unfortunately, grossly underappreciated. Aside from the traffic problem, we found that many of the unfavourable reports and comments made about it to be completely false. We found people to be very friendly and helpful, the food good and a diverse range of architecture with many, many beautiful buildings. I think that the negative remarks often made of this city stem largely from peoples attitudes rather than the place itself.
Kind regards,
Eirú.
