    We were late( difficulty finding parking)but the tour guide (Romania?) awaited for us. She was great. One person in our group is in a wheelchair and you did list your your as wheelchair accessible - we managed, but with some difficulty as most of the route in the park is gravel, not paved. The park is beautiful!
