- Viscri Fortified Church - The journey begins with a pickup from your hotel in Brasov, followed by a scenic hour-and-a-half drive to Viscri. During the drive, the operator will share insights into the early history of Romania. The first stop is Viscri, a picturesque village nestled in the tranquil countryside of Transylvania. Initially founded by the Székelys, the region’s earliest inhabitants, it later welcomed Saxon settlers in the 12th and 13th centuries. The village boasts the renowned Viscri Fortified Church, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and one of Romania’s most famous landmarks.
- Sighisoara Clock Tower - A short 30-minute drive from Viscri leads to the next destination, Sighișoara Fortress. This UNESCO World Heritage Site, located in the heart of Transylvania, enchants visitors with its vibrant buildings, cobblestone streets, and well-preserved 14th-century architecture, offering a glimpse into the past. Sighișoara, home to the iconic Clock Tower, is where Vlad the Impaler spent his early years. Visitors can explore the medieval citadel, stroll through charming squares, and immerse themselves in the rich history. The fortress’s timeless allure captivates all who visit, making it a must-see for history buffs and those seeking a magical journey through time.
- Cetatea Rupea - On the return journey from Sighisoara, a stop at Rupea Fortress is planned. Although not a UNESCO site like the previous two, it is certainly worth a visit. Built by the Transylvanian Saxons and first recorded in 1324, Rupea Fortress majestically sits atop a 120-meter-high basalt cliff west of Rupea town. This medieval fortress played a crucial strategic role in the 14th century, acting as a key link between Transylvania, Moldavia, and Wallachia. After visiting Rupea Fortress, the tour concludes with a one-hour drive back to your hotel in Brasov.

Wonderful experience! - Adrian picked us up on time with no problems. Adrian was informstive, knowledgeable and engsging, an exceññent guide. His knowledge of the history of Transylvania was incredible. The first fort was interesting but the highñights were the two UNESCO cities. It was a thoroughly enjoyable day. I highly, highly recommend taking this tour with Adrian of you are at all interested in learning about the country you are visiting!

Memorable experience with Adrian - It was a really lovely experience. I was amazed by the amount of information that Adrian posesed about history of Transylvania and the passion that he speaks with. He is an incredible and patient guide, he showed us so many interesting things that it would have impossible for us to know. The trip with him was so delightful and we hope we’ll come back again and do other trips with him.

Is a must do experience! - This tour to Sighisoara, Viscri, and Rupea was one of the best experiences we had in Romania – and that’s all thanks to Adrian, our amazing guide. His deep knowledge, storytelling, and genuine passion for Transylvanian history made every stop come alive. He was friendly, professional, and tailored the day to our interests, making it feel personal and relaxed. If you're in Brasov, don’t miss this tour – and ask for Adrian if you can. He truly made it unforgettable! I've booked already the next one 😄

Amazing! Saw a lot and learned a lot! - This tour was so great! I love that it was private- as in just my husband and myself with our guide, Adrian! It was a long day but so worth it. Adrian is so knowledgeable, and it’s impressive how much information he shared with us off the top of his head. We had great weather the day we went, so the views we had from up top at each of our stops were spectacular. Our guide was very personable, and when he wasn’t sharing historical information, we engaged in great conversations throughout the day, which made it even better- as if we were spending the day with a new friend who was showing us around a country we had never visited before. We also had a great lunch all together in the afternoon, so that was a nice break. My husband and I are so fascinated with Romania, and even more so now and can’t wait to go back and see/learn more!

A truly memorable Transylvania experience - Adrian’s depth of knowledge and love of his country’s history made this a truly memorable experience. My wife and I have been on many group tours which just can’t compare to the personalization Adrian was able to accommodate us with since this was a very specialized “private” tour. We visited 3 historical sites, one of which is a UNESCO site, and when taken together they really explained the history of Transylvania and its importance on the world stage and enormous global events that continue to shape our common history.

Fantastic Guide - My wife and I booked a 4-day bespoke trip with Adrian visiting various sites around Transylvania, plus a trip to see the bears in the wild near Brasov, which was an amazing experience. We organised all our trips via email.
Adrian is a fantastic guide with so much knowledge and such enthusiasm and passion for Romania, he went out of his way to ensure we had a great experience. Adrian is a fun guy to be around, we enjoyed our time with him and we had great conversations about various topics. We really enjoyed visiting the fortified churches of Viscri, Prejmer, Harman and Biertan to name a few. Adrian took us to his family restaurant where we tried the local cuisine which was excellent. If you are planning a visit to Transylvania we would highly recommend using Adrian as your tour guide.

Wonderful and Knowledgeable Private Tour - What an incredible experience! Adrian was extremely knowledgeable and most importantly friendly and easy to get along with. My family and I were able to visit these beautiful heritage sites in comfort without leaving a stone unturned on each site’s rich history.
I will note that we did arrive in Braşov with a different tour company that did have an option to explore these sites with the rest of the large group. I am so thankful we chose to break off and have a special experience with a fantastic guide like Adrian.
I would recommend using Wise Transylvania Tours for anyone wanting to explore more of Transylvania!

Excellent Experience - Adrian was very informative and brought the Romanian history and culture to life. He is very knowledgeable and the extra touches such as bottled water on a very hot day were much appreciated.

Visit to Sighisiora - The tour was only to Sighisoara. Because it was private, we decided not to go to Viscri and Our guide accommodated the visit according to our request. This is a very well preserved walled city with plenty of colorful buildings and interesting sites. Still standing 9 of the original defensive towers, in great state. It has come to my attention that tour guides in Romania, like in no other place, are excellent historians, with an intense passion for their country showing in their explanations. Adrian is one of them. I’m really thankful for the details, the recommendations and the services he provides. Without hesitation, recommended.
