A Lovely Escape into Medieval Romania - We had a fantastic day! The weather was perfect, the scenery was stunning, and our guide, Charlie, made everything even better with his great sense of humor and his clear, engaging explanations. We had a wonderful traditional lunch in Viscri and the pace of the tour was relaxed and comfortable. We had plenty of time to explore each place, enjoy the atmosphere, and even sit down for a coffee without any rush. It was a truly lovely day, and we left feeling enchanted by the region. We highly recommend this tour and our guide, Charlie.

A lovely scape into medieval Romania - We had a fantastic day exploring several beautiful medieval Saxon villages, and the whole experience was absolutely delightful. The weather was perfect, the scenery was stunning, and our guide, Charlie, made everything even better with his great sense of humor and his clear, engaging explanations. We had a wonderful traditional lunch in Viscri — the food was incredibly delicious — and the pace of the tour was relaxed and comfortable. With only two couples in the group, we had plenty of time to explore each place, enjoy the atmosphere, and even sit down for a coffee without any rush. It was a truly lovely day, and we left feeling enchanted by the region. We highly recommend this tour and our guide, Charlie.

Wonderful day - We had a fantastic full day tour and would highly recommend it. Our guide, Charlie, was friendly, knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting information throughout the day without it ever feeling overwhelming. The itinerary had a really nice variety and the pace was perfect. We never felt rushed but still managed to see a lot. One of the highlights was visiting the beautiful coloured houses of Viscri, which felt incredibly authentic and charming. Sighișoara was also wonderful. Wandering through the old streets felt like stepping back in time. Overall it was a really enjoyable day with great stops, interesting stories and a relaxed atmosphere. A great way to experience more of Romania.
