Ground Services for Tour Operators in the Danube Delta and Dobrogea
Your partner on the ground in the Danube Delta and Dobrogea. Birding, photography and nature programs for your groups, with specialised guides, open boats and family guesthouses, run by a local team since 2004.
For tour operators
Your clients deserve more than a speed boat and a loud speaker
Most tourism in the Danube Delta is fast boats, loud music and boatmen who speak no English. Your clients came for something else, and your reputation depends on it.
We run the Danube Delta and Dobrogea the way a demanding birder, a wildlife photographer or a curious traveller expects: specialised guides, slow open boats out at the right hours, small family guesthouses and a team that answers. You sell the trip; we make sure it is as good on the ground as it is in your catalogue.
What we run for you
Complete programs or single services
Birding programs
From short Danube Delta trips to tours of the Danube Delta and Dobrogea, led by birding guides with a spotting scope and a real target list.
Photography programs
Boats built for photography, photographer guides and hides, for small groups that want images, not just sightings.
Nature programs
A relaxed discovery of the Danube Delta by open boat, its villages, forests and dunes, for travellers who simply love nature.
Family guesthouses
Small guesthouses in Mila 23, run by their owners, with private bathrooms and home cooking, that we know well and work with every season.
Dobrogea and beyond
The steppe, the hills and the coastal lagoons of Dobrogea by minivan, and extensions to the Balkan Mountains in Bulgaria, to Transylvania and to Lake Kerkini in Greece.
Transfers and logistics
Boat transfers into the Danube Delta, ground transport, meals, permits and one contact person for your group from arrival to departure.
Our standard
What your clients can count on
Guides who know their subject
English speaking birding guides and photographer guides who live in the Danube Delta and Dobrogea, not boatmen with a microphone.
Out when the wildlife is
At sunrise and in the evening, when the birds are active and the hundreds of speed boats are not on the water.
Small groups, open boats
At most 10 guests per boat, as the law allows, and fewer on birding and photography programs, so everyone sees and nobody waits.

Questions and answers
Frequently asked questions
Can you run our own program, under our dates?
Yes. We can run a program you designed, adapt one of ours, or build a new one with you, on the dates that fit your catalogue.
What is the best group size?
By law a boat in the Danube Delta takes at most 10 guests. For birding and photography we keep the groups smaller, so every guest has room to see and to shoot. Larger groups travel on several boats.
Which months are best?
April to June and September to October for birding and nature programs. July and August with early and evening boat trips. Winter for geese, swans and raptors, for groups ready for real cold.
Can you combine the Danube Delta with other regions?
Yes. We already run tours that combine the Danube Delta with Dobrogea, the Balkan Mountains in Bulgaria, Transylvania for bears and Lake Kerkini in Greece.
Do you publish rates for agencies?
No. Every quote depends on the program, the season and the group size, so we send it on request, for your groups and your dates.
