Tour details

Danube Delta Excursion → Visit this enchanting and wild corner of nature, where the only traces of civilization are the occasional boats navigating the labyrinth of channels. The Danube Delta is listed among the most beautiful places to visit in Romania. It is the best-preserved delta in Europe, along with other natural reserves in Romania, and is part of the UNESCO World Heritage. If you have never been to the Danube Delta, we highly recommend including it in your travel plans. You will experience something unique, create wonderful memories, and escape into a fascinating world. It is a protected natural reserve, surrounded by lush vegetation and home to numerous rare animals and birds.

Tulcea Promenade → Located on the banks of the Danube, the Tulcea Promenade is visited at all times by numerous tourists, who come both to explore the city and to travel to the already-famous Danube Delta. This area offers visitors stunning views, serving as a true promenade and one of the city’s main tourist attractions.

Danube Delta Ecotourism Museum → Located near the city promenade, the Museum forms, along with two other museums, the Muslim mosque, and other heritage buildings nearby, the cultural center of Tulcea. The museum includes a permanent exhibition that mainly showcases elements of the natural heritage found in the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve, a public aquarium, and various temporary exhibitions. The Danube Delta Ecotourism Museum is a favorite spot for locals and tourists for recreation and socializing, both for its activities and for the facilities provided to visitors.

Enisala Medieval Fortress → Enisala Fortress, also known as Yeni-Sale or Heracleea throughout history, is a remarkable tourist attraction in central Dobrogea. The ruins of the medieval fortress are located on a limestone hill, called Dealul Gras, which dominates the Razim and Babadag lakes, about 2 km from Enisala village. The landscapes visible from the base of the fortress ruins are spectacular. From the top, you can admire the hills within the Enisala reserve and the Razim and Babadag lakes, while at sunset the view becomes truly magical.

Cocoș Monastery → According to legends, roosters were regularly heard from the surrounding hills. While passing through the area on their way to Mount Athos, three monks, enchanted by the beauty of the place, bought the land from a local woman and built a breathtaking place of worship. The monastery hosts a community of monks with two dedications: “Descent of the Holy Spirit” – the main church, and “Saint Nicholas” – the chapel. The main Christian attraction of this picturesque monastery is the relics of the martyrs from Niculițel: Zoticos, Attalos, Kamasis, and Philippos.

Niculițel Basilica → This is one of the most important Paleochristian monuments in Europe. Discovered in 1971, the 4th-century martyr’s crypt is beautifully presented in a modern building, with a glass walkway and stained-glass windows depicting the four martyrs buried at Niculițel. The crypt remains in its original state as it was built at the beginning of the 4th century. It was never profaned or opened until its discovery, unlike many other paleochristian basilicas where graves were violated. At Niculițel, this was avoided because when the basilica was built over the martyrs’ graves, no access was left, and the relics remained fully buried beneath the altar.

FAQ = Frequently asked questions

What is included in the price?

Details are presented for each excursion, in the "included activities" and "not included activities" sections. We recommend that you read them carefully and book optional services in advance (some entries require prior appointment).

Can I change or cancel my vacation after payment?

Yes, according to the contract. The conditions for modification or termination are specified in the contract annex and on each trip’s page under the “Documents” section.
❓Requests should be sent to: contact@sicro.md.

What type of accommodation is included in the trip, and when will we find out the name of the booked hotel?

Accommodation is usually provided in 3★ properties, and this information is mentioned in the trip description. If the exact name of the hotel or guesthouse is not specified in advance, it will be communicated a few days before departure (especially for shorter trips of up to 3 days).

We always select the best options, based on our 9+ years of experience. The final choice of hotel is made once the group is nearly complete, in order to accommodate specific requests for single, triple rooms or family apartments.

How is accommodation arranged for solo travelers?

We usually try to place solo travelers in twin rooms (separate beds) with persons of the same gender and similar age. If room sharing is not possible, a single supplement applies:

Romania: €35/night

Istanbul: €35/night

Hungary: €40/night

What type of transport is used for the trip?

In most cases, we travel by modern coach when there are more than 20 confirmed participants.
For groups under 20 people, the trip is organized with a comfortable and spacious minibus, specially designed for international travel.

All vehicles are modern, equipped with air conditioning and luggage space.
? You can view the transport we travel with here: www.sicro.md/en/transport-services

What seat will I have on the transport?

We cannot guarantee an exact seat number at the time of booking. Seat allocation is done transparently, based on the order of payment: the earlier you pay, the closer you will be seated to the front of the transport.

At booking, we can provide an approximate indication (“among the first seats,” “in the middle,” “after the middle,” “towards the back,” “last seats,” etc.).

Why can’t we specify the exact seat?
? We work with several transport companies, and the vehicles may vary from one trip to another.
? Each coach or minibus has its own seat numbering system.

At SICRO TRAVEL, we strictly follow one principle: seats are allocated exclusively according to the order of payment.

How much does an extra seat cost to sit alone on the transport?

The fees for reserving an extra seat are:

Minibus: €40

Coach: €35

Long trips:
• Istanbul / Budapest & Vienna – €90
• Danube Gorges – €50

? If the vehicle is not fully booked, no extra fee is charged.

Are there stops along the way?

Yes. There is a stop approximately every 3 hours for restroom breaks, snacks, or coffee.

Where is the departure point and where do we return?

Usually, the departure point is the Railway Station Square in Chișinău, and the return from the trip is to the same location.

One day before the trip, each traveler receives an SMS with:

the exact boarding location,
the guide/escort’s phone number,
the license plate number of the coach or minibus.

Why is medical insurance not included in the package and paid separately?

Medical insurance is not automatically included in the package, as it is personalized according to each traveler’s age and health condition. However, it is essential for safety and for quick access to medical services if needed.

Indicative rates – weekend trips to Romania:

up to 60 years – 50 MDL
60–64 years – 100 MDL
65–69 years – 150 MDL
70–74 years – 200 MDL
75–79 years – 250 MDL
80+ years – 300 MDL

Travelers are free to obtain their medical insurance either through SICRO TRAVEL or from any other authorized provider.

Important: if the insurance is purchased elsewhere, it must be presented at boarding.

What discounts does SICRO TRAVEL offer?

Loyal customers – 5% discount for travelers who have joined us at least once a year during the past 3 years.
(The discount does not apply to seaside and mountain packages.)

Groups – for a minimum of 10 paying participants, the 11th person travels free of charge.

Families with children – special discounts are applied depending on the number of adults, number of children, their ages, and the number of rooms required. To determine the exact discount, these details must be provided.

Why are prices shown in euros, but payments are made in Moldovan lei, and what exchange rate applies?

According to Moldovan law, payments must be made exclusively in Moldovan lei. Prices are displayed in euros because costs depend on external partners.

Excursions and domestic trips – the commercial euro selling rate of MAIB SA on the day of payment applies. Details: https://www.sicro.md/en/-exchange-rate
International vacations and packages (sea and mountain) – the exchange rate set by external partners applies. In this case, the commercial rate may be up to +2% higher than the official NBM rate.

What will the weather and conditions be like during the trip?

Rain in Chișinău does not mean the same weather at the destination, which may be 300–500 km away. Trips are canceled only in exceptional cases (natural disasters, official alerts, major blockages).

If the weather changes during the trip, the team adjusts the route and schedule to ensure the excursion remains safe and enjoyable for all participants.

Where will we have lunch and dinner?

Breakfast at the hotel is included (see the “included services” section).
Lunch and dinner are at your own expense. The guide will recommend local restaurants and guesthouses suitable for the group.

Can I skip some excursions or included attractions?

Yes, as long as it does not affect the group’s overall program.
If you wish to skip a certain visit (e.g.: Brașov, Bran Castle), please inform the guide and be back at the transport at the scheduled departure time.
