Star-Tur

The travel agency Star-Tur has its office on strada Columna 77 in the Centru sector, in the building known as Fabrica Ionel. Besides beach holidays, for instance at Golden Sands in Bulgaria, it does a lot of health-resort travel, including Moldovan sanatoriums, as well as mountain holidays and group tours to Italy, Albania and Egypt. It also has offers for companies and runs several separate themed projects devoted to beaches, spa resorts and the mountains.

Ratings are above average, but opinions differ. Many praise consultant Daniela, who found discounted deals and resolved a hotel problem remotely during a holiday. Complaints mostly concern group tours, citing itineraries changed along the way, hotels swapped for lower categories and a guide who struggled to manage the group.

The agency can be reached by phone, by email or at the office; the website has an offer search engine.
