Highlights

This is a small group tour (max 8 passangers) which combines winter activities history, legend, and breathtaking natural landscapes.


Begin with a visit to the Curtea de Argeș Monastery, an architectural gem and spiritual heart of Romania. The monastery is also the final resting place of Romanian royal family.
