This trip was with Vantage Deluxe World Travel. Grand European Sojourn Bucharest to Bonn on June 23 2019.

Since we live in the Phoenix Arizona area, we experienced a very long flight from Arizona to Romainia. Several transfers with reasonable lay-over times to get to Romainia. We used Vantage for airline routes which was better than what we found on our own. Arriving in Burcharest I was very tired due to not sleeping at all on any of the flights. When we finally reached the airport, customs was a breeze & retrieved our luggage headed for the exit. A Vantage representative was waiting for us & gave directions for our transportation to the hotel. As we had to wait for other connecting flights it took over 90 minutes to finally board the bus & no help with our luggage. This process was a disaster with all the arriving passengers upset & tired. Vantage should have handled this much better. The groups arriving at this time were going on a pre-extension excursion by land to the Romainia town of Brasov for the next 4 nights after a short day & evening in Bucharest.

The Aro Palace Hotel in Brasov was excellent with a great location in easy walking distance to the center of old town. Town has it's historical sites, with many restaurants, churches, & bars. The food was very good, the atmosphere lively, servers friendly & spoke good English. Town was very busy with many travelers from North America & all of Europe. Read more
