Summary:
We had a great day with Sergiu. We wanted to see the Danube in Romania and a day trip from Timisoara seemed the best option within our itinerary. We're so glad we did this - Sergiu was friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. He took us on a great road trip so we saw a lot of Romanian countryside, then a lovely boat trip on the Danube seeing the Romanian and Serbian sides. We also took a nice hike which ended in spectacular views of the gorge.
