Great day trip - Absolutely lovely day trip. My guide Tiberiu was amazing - really knowledgable and had a lot of interesting stories. The tour was overall very well organised and gave enough time to explore on my own. Would highly recommend.

A Lovely Tour - Just a great day that showed us a part of Romania that we would never have otherwise explored. Everything was very well managed and we had all the time we needed to see and take in all we needed in the spots we visited.

Ask for Charlie! - What an AMAZING experience!! I have to say, this was the highlight of our trip! Communication on pick-up and time was fantastic. The best part? CHARLIE! What a RIOT. Charlie was an amazing guide, he had lots of stories to share and kept us in stitches. We walked 176 stairs to visit a church and grave site in Sighisoara - inside the basement of the church were tombs and during the story telling, there was a little surprise - I won't spoil the fun with the details but if you like to laugh - you'll love it! It was a great day - beautiful country side and I would highly recommend this tour! You will NOT be disappointed! Thank you, Charlie! We will always remember our day trip with you!

Good tour with Dan - Dan was a good tour guide with a prompt pickup at the library. Always kept us informed of what was happening and asked the group had long they needed in Sighisoara,

A lovely day with a great guide - Charlie was the perfect guide for my daughter and I. He was friendly and informative, pointing out all the interesting places on the way to our destinations. He took us for an excellent lunch before visiting Sighisoara, which is well worth a visit. All in all a very good day, I would highly recommend.

A Day Well Spent - We had a wonderful day with Tibi who was knowledgeable and engaging about the history of the various sites we visited. In Viscri he arranged for us to have my favorite meal in Romania so far at an historic home. Tibi made the history of the area come alive with getting too much into the vampire myths. Our whole group felt it was a day well spent.
