Tucan Travel has introduced an overnight excursion in the Maramures region to all Romania tours starting from spring 2020.
The itinerary change will see travellers spending the night in a traditional guesthouse in the northwestern region of Romania, complete with a home-cooked local dinner. The day excursion now includes pottery demonstrations and other introductions to local traditions such as wood carving and fabric making.
The improved itinerary comes in light of the operator's commitment to supporting local communities and adopting responsible travel. Since 1987 when it began operating group tours, Tucan Travel's core purpose has been to provide adventures with a passion that open people's eyes to the diversity of people, cultures and habitats across the world.
