Danube Delta - Boat Trip & Traditional Lunch - Private Tour

The driver/ quide was fantastic. He told us many intetesting things about Romania and culture. Boat Captein show us many birds and give time to takes photos as long as we need.

Our tour guide was Claudiu. He gave us a wonderfull day with lots of information about the country and the delta itself. He knew a lot of birds so when we saw one he told us what kind of bird it was. It was amazing.

A great experience. Our guide Claudiu was very friendly and knowledgeable, and we learned many fascinating things about the country and its history, and about the Danube Delta, on the drive. The boat was very comfortable, and we were treated to an amazing variety of birds including a spectacular mixed flock of great white pelicans, great white egrets, little egrets, grey herons, cormorants and pygmy cormorants. Other highlights included whiskered terns, night herons, squacco (yellow) herons, white-tailed eagles and glossy ibis. Lunch was also excellent, with a delicious catfish soup and fried carp. It was definitely worth the long drive and we can warmly recommend Claudiu as a guide!

It is a long day there and back but with a guide like Sebastian the time just flew because of the intérsting and informative discussions we had broader than just the delta in isolation. The delta like any other delta is not the easiest place to watch birds but just bring your binoculars with you - it helps a lot!

The midweek trip to the Danube Delta was a great experience, one that justifies our 10-day visit to Romania on its own. The water tour started slowly, but as we delved deeper into the Delta, the variety of wildlife, especially birds, increased significantly. Many lived in colonies, some intermingling with others, and some not. We saw turtles and water snakes. We ate on an island with the lunch served by a family for whom the Delta is home. Alin, our host, provided us with a wealth of information. We highly recommend the experience.

Our guide and driver, Bogdan, was very friendly and helpful - and keen to ensure we had a good day...which we did! It was a brilliant trip and we were very excited to explore the Danube Delta. The drive there was long (as we expected) but Bogdan was an excellent driver and we had a few stops. Once we arrived, the boat was extremely plush and it was a real treat to be the only people on it. We were a little disappointed not to see more birdlife - perhaps it was the time of year? Some guidance on what you're likely to see in the trip listing might be helpful to people. But the scenery was amazing and we saw a few different birds - and snakes swimming in the water. We had a warm welcome for lunch and it was really interesting to see how people live in the Danube Delta. The food was okay - it was tricky to eat the fish with so many bones, but good to try something new and try authentic Romanian dishes. And I loved meeting the lovely little dog who was living there. Such a happy soul. All in all a wonderful trip! Thank you :)

Great views of the Danube Delta with several variety of birds. Our driver and guide was very knowledgeable and ensured that the we were well fed with a fish feast from the Danube.

Fantastic and memorable boat tour of the Danube Delta ! It was such a unique experience. The scenery was very beautiful and tranquil. We saw so many birds in their natural habitat. It was so peaceful. Lunch with the locals was very good. Our tour guide Roxana was very knowledgeable and engaging. Our kids enjoyed the tour too. We definitely recommend this tour.

Enjoyed the trip but it was a long day. Listed as 6+ hours, it was almost 13. 4 hours each way to and from boat plus 4 hours + on boat/eating lunch. Otherwise a good day even though not all the birds cooperated. Driver/Guide Radu was very knowledgeable of the area and history plus got us there and back safely. His knowledge of birds was not so good. Boat captain Razva was skilled and pleasant to deal with. Lunch was tasty and comfortable.

We loved everything about this tour! Radu, our tour guide, was incredible! Full of stories and facts about Romania, knowledgeable and courteous. The delta was beautiful and we saw lots of birds, more than we expected. The meal was authentic and plentiful! Highly recommended!
