Additional Information

In this journey, we’ll explore three of Transylvania’s most ancient and attractive historical places.

Our trip will start with a visit to the Saxon village of Viscri, exhibiting quaint lanes and beautifully hued Saxon homes. On reaching the top of the hill, we’ll visit the fortified white church, which gives the village, Viscri, its name (translated as the White Church).

Our next stop will be Sighisoara, a city that held a significant strategic and commercial standing on the fringes of Central Europe for numerous centuries. With its old medieval homes boasting stunning architecture, and tight alleys lined with brightly painted houses, you’ll feel transported back in time to an era of princes and princesses (refer Vlad Tepes) residing in the city.

Our last destination will be the Rupea Citadel, perched on Cohalmului Hill, overseeing the city from its elevated position. Constructed and enlarged during the 14th-17th centuries as a fort and safe haven for neighboring villages, a beautiful panorama of the surrounding landscapes can be beheld from its vantage point.

Detailed, funny and flexible - We booked this trip because we wanted to see a lot and public transport is not so good in Transylvania. We had the pleasure of having the guide Trianon with us. He informed us about history along the road and on the sights. We really loved the detailed information, not only at the main sights but also along the way, e.g. pointing out fortified churches along the road. We had a big car for only 5 people, which was very relaxed. He also gave us options to stop for photos on the way. We could also opt in or out of experiences, for example, we tried the local Palinka, which tasted much better than other ones we tried. We were not that interested in Charles's house in Viscri so we skipped that one and had more time for the rest of the sights. Trianon was funny and flexible and also showed us good spots for photos. The sights of Rupea Citadel are very impressive with great views, Viscri fortified church is very interesting and Sighisoara is very cozy with a large amount of medieval and historical buildings. We also had plenty of time to eat lunch in Sighisoara. We can highly recommend this tour!

Great day in Transylvania - Our guide was very knowledgeable and explained all the sights. He was willing to make photo stops, washroom breaks, etc. whenever we wanted. Showed us places we wouldn't have found ourselves. Our group only had 5 people which was very pleasant.

One Fantastic Day - Trăiam was fantastic! You can tell he truly loves Romanian history and sharing that history with others. He is very flexible and knows the best places to stop for pictures, places to eat, and many people in each area you visit.

Could not have been Better! - Traian was an excellent ambassador for Transylvania! Our tour was timed perfectly as we were just about the only visitors at each site and had the places to ourselves. It could not have been a better day! We highly recommed this tour when visiting the area.

Beautiful and rustic villages. Stunning views from the Rupea fort. - I shall forever have beautiful memories of those charming and rustic Transylvanian villages. It is a plus of course to travel in January as they are quite empty but they all had their individual charm and our guide was passionate and knowledge adding to a very successful day out with my son.

Amazing - amazing trip! from the first minute it’s clear that the organiser has his own unique approach to making tours: punctuality, the best transfer ever, erudition and acknowledgment of historical details, elegance even in appearance! and of course, about the tour itself - incredibly beautiful places! it is very important, when choosing long distance tours, to have a good partner with whom you would feel comfortable, we have found him! thanks for the tour!

Super guiding done by Claudiu - The second trip with the company and it whent just as smooth as the first day. Great guide great knowledge of Romania. The Unesco tour was more relaxing as most dont visit these attractions, while the castles where packed Sighisoara and Viscri felt empty so we got to enjoy the trip even more.

Top notch! - What a wonderful day we had visiting these different sites. This tour was well worth it. Our private guide, Claudio, was the most professional, pleasant and diplomatic host. The entire day went seamlessly thanks to his punctuality, impeccable driving manners, and his vast knowledge of the sites, and country for which he is a proud ambassador.

Just a perfect day... - Such a great tour, would definitely recommend to all! Razvan, our guide, made it even more perfect with his vast knowledge about history and present days, we had so much fun with him and learned a lot. All places we visited are absolutely stunning and a must see. Prepare some dog biscuits when you´ll be overwhelmed with puppies :)

Great tour - This was a great tour. Claudiu was a good guide giving lots of information. I had first considered going to Sighisoara by public transport, but I'm very glad I chose this tour. You not only travel in much greater comfort, but you also reach lovely places like Viscri and Biertan that would otherwise be near impossible to get to without a car. Plus you have all the benefits of a well informed guide. I would highly recommend the tour.
