These monastaries you really have to see. Fantastic paintings outside and inside. And you will find so many details in the paintings. If you like crowded visits then go on a public holiday in Romania! :-) But if you want to take your time for checking the paintings better find another day!

I was on a tour to Milestii Mici and I found that it is quite easy on my own (unless you actually visit the winery, where you are assigned a guide). The tour is very fast and simple, because I wanted to find out more and see the actual process of wine production (how to harvest, where to store, how to turn into wine, how to store, how to bottle in bottles). at the outlet is a store where you can find good wines at low prices ...

A must do. I did the evening tour with tasting. Tour of the expansive underground cellars which included salt displays and visiting the tasting rooms. You ride through the cellars on a motorized trolley which takes you to several of the major cellars. It is basically an entire city with street names underground. If you can, do a tasting tour as they do really formal seating with delicious samples. There is a video at the beginning in their bar/theater which explains the history & process. The tour is done by Crickova staff not your tour guide, and you may select the language. There is a superb gift shop.

Good conversation with driver. Good wine. And good food to go with that. (Bit stingy with the food at Cricova, though. Asked for a little more, but was told that'd cost me $$$$$$$$$. So didn't bother.) Well organized. Good way to spend an otherwise probably boring Saturday. (Eat well at Milestii or take snack with you. Good wine but little affordable food at Cricova.)

Dumitru was a great guide, very professional and willing to show me the type of architecture (mostly socialist housing buildings) I wanted to see. I haven't planned the tour much ahead and was lucky Dumitru had a few hours for me. I can recommend him to everyone looking for a customized experience.
