Tour of Romania
The old towns of each city were wonderful from the old architecture to the small shops around the corner. I was slightly disappointed of not being able to see the princely court in Bucharest do to it being under reservation and not being able to go to the Poenari fortress due to the bear population. Future travelers be warned there is a lot of walking during this tour, with some over rough terrain and Romania is surrounded by mountains and rolling hills so you should be in relatively good shape for this tour.
