Nice day in Transylvania - Each town had its own charm and history that we could better understand thanks to Robert. Especially Sighisoara. Visiting the Roma community was particularly impressive.

The day trip was very... - The day trip was very well organized and we were able to see and do a lot in just one day. Book Robert as your guide if you want a fun and informative adventure. His passion for the area and friendly demeanor made for a truly enjoyable experience.

Documentary visit - I’m opera singer, and I have to interpret many characters. Because I never interact with the gypsy community, and one of my roles is a rich guy that gets in love with a lady grew by gypsies, I said this is my chance to know them better. There are many contrasts between people I saw one the streets in Berlin and the family I visited: very clean, with a modern life and big respect for family traditions. The tour guide helped me to understand better their mentality and their behaviour out of their communities. On the same day, I visited a medieval fortress like a small city, surrounded by walls. Sighisoara on the sunset is romantic and dramatic.

Tour exceeded expectations - We made the day trip in 2019. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, and the car was comfortable and clean. We dealt with Ilona, and she was very helpful in answering all our questions. We especially enjoyed the view of Sighisoara from the City Tower. We would highly recommend Rolandia if you're planning a trip to Transylvania.

Perfect trip - Our tour started early in the morning, but we had enough time to see medieval fortress Sighisoara, the impressive church from Biertan and especially the gypsy community. Our tour guide (sorry but I forgot your name) gave us explanatiosn about history, the cultural difference between different communities. In one day, I felt that I graduate a full class about Romanian history and culture.

Disappointing tour - I’m sorry but this tour was kind of a mess, friendly but unknowledgeable tour guide who did not know the answer to most of the general questions we asked. We did not get to visit the fortified church in Biertan as we found out that it was closed after we reached the site, and this was something which i felt could have been checked by the tour guide or organiser earlier. We thought it was a guided tour but we were left to do free & easy sightseeing at Sighisoara. The Gypsy family visit was underwhelming too as it seems like they are new to hosting. Overall, it didn’t feel like it was worth the price we paid. Only plus point was the comfortable van we sat in.
