Great day trip from Tulcea to Letea forest . Amazing, pleasant, helpful and well knowledgeable guide, Iulian( Negru). Breathtaking views and places. Our guide explained us lots about wild life, birds, plants, channel maze and the major Danube arms: Chilia, Sulina and Sfantul Gheorghe, life and living in Danube Delta.After few hours sailing, we had a stop at Mila 23, a great opportunity to buy some ponchos for my party (was a bit rainy and we didn't had the right gear,well... trusting the weatherman :)), also is great to have binoculars for birdwatching and lots of other views. After this, few hours later, we arrived at Letea( sort of a safari, don't worry a full of fun one). Again, a beautiful place, lots of info about, from our guide.We left Letea and we had our lunch (Heaven, for fish dish lovers), in a beautiful rustic location. A little break and back again in our boat, we returned to Tulcea.

My husband and I spent the entire day with our guide/boat driver Cristan, and it was wonderful. Our guide, Cristan, was extremely knowledgeable on the Delta area and all that it has to offer. He worked tirelessly to show us as many birds and scenery as possible, which is not easy when you're in a boat. We stopped in Letea for lunch and it was delicious and quite an experience. The fresh fish dishes just kept coming, and the whole meal was topped off with the owners own homemade right out of the oven donuts! Not only was Cristan well versed on the Delta and all that it has to offer, but when we asked about a good pizza restaurant for dinner in Tulcea, he took us right to the place. We highly recommend this tour company.

We are really glad that we booked with DiscoverDanubeDelta agency a tour from Tulcea to Letea and back by open boat. The trip was amazing, so much wildlife, so beautiful. Everything was perfectly organized. We were 2 separate boats, each having about 6-7 people. Our guide (I am sorry I did not ask him for his name) was very kind and had very good English. He was always explaining different kind of birds, history and facts about the Danube Delta. Very professional, kind and friendly. I recommend to book the lunch which is optional, because it was really delicious. About 3-4 kinds of fish, fish soup, fish main dish. Very fresh and home cooked by the villagers in Letea. Also it is highly recommended to have a binoculars (we rented from the tour company) because this way you see the birds from up close and in details. Excellent tour company, would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to visit Danube Delta.

A visit to the Danube Delta surprises in many ways. While there are a number of tour operators in Tulcea, Discover Danube Delta (aka Descopera Delta Dunarii) can be easily found on the net and booked in advance. The booking and payment systems work flawlessly making it easy to book a few days ahead. For us, this was especially important because our 3 night’s accommodation in Tulcea had to be shortened to 2 nights d’urto travel logistics. Christian, our guide has the knowledge of an ecologist or a biologist, but it comes from a life spent in the Delta. He was able to instruct us about the names of bird and mammal species in English, wit others in Roma and indicated that he also knows the German and Italian names of wildlife. A day spent with Discover Danube Delta is time and money well spent.
