Tour details

Red Lake → A natural dam lake located at an altitude of 983 meters, formed in 1837. Due to heavy rainfall, large areas of land on the northwestern slope of Mount Ghilcos collapsed, sliding over a clay layer and blocking the Verescheu Valley, where several fast-flowing streams converge. The water surface is dotted with fir trunks, remnants of the forest submerged by the lake.

Red Lake Bobsled Track → A fascinating destination for thrill-seekers and adventure lovers. Set in a spectacular natural environment, the track offers a unique downhill experience along a serpentine route that winds around the lake surrounded by mountains. Whether you are a sports enthusiast or just an adrenaline seeker, the bobsled track provides a memorable experience in the Red Lake mountain landscape.

Bicaz Gorges → A particularly picturesque geographical area in central Hasmaș Mountains. Along the winding roads of the gorges, you can find small shops with souvenirs and handcrafted products made by Romanian and Hungarian artisans from the area. You can admire landmarks such as Altar Rock, Pintești Rock, and Arșița Rock (835 m). Other notable rock formations include Surducul Rock, Stone Gate, and Bardos Terrace.

Neamț Fortress → Located near the highest peak of Pleșului Ridge, the fortress is one of Romania’s medieval monuments of exceptional value. Its strategic position and role in significant historical events demonstrate that Neamț Fortress was one of the most well-fortified fortresses of the medieval Moldavian state.

Izvorul Muntelui Reservoir → The largest man-made lake on Romania’s inland rivers, located on the upper course of the Bistrița River. Bicaz Dam, built between 1950–1960, connects Mount Gicovanu with Obcina Horstei. Near the dam, there is a port where tourists can enjoy recreational activities on the lake: mini-cruises on the boat, or rentals of boats, motorboats, and pedal boats. Fishing enthusiasts will also find plenty of designated spots.

Piatra Neamț Cable Car → In the 22 gondolas, tourists can enjoy a beautiful panorama of the city and its surroundings: Bâtca Doamnei Reservoir, Mount Pietricica, and Ceahlău Massif in all its splendor.

Iași → The main city of the Moldova region in Romania. One of the largest cities in the country and the second-largest university center. A historic and cultural city, Iași is often called the “legendary city of the seven hills,” namely Cetățuia, Galata, Copou, Bucium, Șorogari, Repedea, and Breazu. Some hills feature remarkable churches at their summits. Known as the “city of great loves,” the “city of new beginnings,” the “cultural center of Moldova,” and “an open-air museum,” Iași has been recognized since the 19th century as a center of national spirit. Every corner evokes a personality, a unique event, a legend, or part of a myth.

Three Holy Hierarchs Monastery → Famous for its stone carvings on the exterior walls, preserved in their original form for the most part.

Iași Palace of Culture → A palace of museums. Here you can find the Moldavia History Museum, the Ștefan Procopiu Science and Technology Museum on the ground floor, galleries of European and Romanian art on the upper floor of the Art Museum, and the Moldavia Ethnographic Museum on the first and second floors.

Metropolitan Cathedral of Iași → A holy place for worshippers and pilgrims, especially of Saint Parascheva. Services are held daily, so the relics can be venerated any day of the week.

FAQ = Frequently asked questions

What is included in the price?

Arrow

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?

Arrow

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?

Arrow

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?

Arrow

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?

Arrow

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?

Arrow

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?

Arrow

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?

Arrow

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?

Arrow

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?

Arrow

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?

Arrow

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?

Arrow

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?

Arrow

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?

Arrow

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?

Arrow

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.

How can I pay for the trip?

Arrow

Available payment methods are:

  • Bank transfer
  • Online card payment
