Summary:
The guide and tour were extremely good. A professional guide, full of positive energy and always having tons of information about places you are walking through. We had two great days in Cluj and its surroundings (Iclod/Iclozel villages). Tudor was the best tour guide, for the days spent in Cluj-Napoca Romania. We spent time with him like old friends. Thank you... See you soon!
