Unknown wonderful european Unesco heritage! - The Active Travel Agency, Mr Marian's tourist office in Brasov, is a very serious and pleasent way of travelling in the Transilvania region in Rumenia. My guide was Charlie, a very professional and well educated person who took me through this wonderful area of this part of Europe. Highly recommended!

Tour was worth it and expect the unexpected from the sights - I had a great tour experience with Dan, the tour guide leading the way to all the sites in the itinerary. He serenaded the car with his love for jazz music, and also explained the history and answered questions about the places we visited.

A Tranquil Tour - The tour to Viscri Church, Sighisoara Town, and Rupea Fortress is engaging, with the guide providing clear and informative insights into the history and culture of the area. Visiting during the low season allowed us to enjoy a peaceful experience without crowds.

Excellent tour, real insights - not “touristy”. - Great communication prior to the tour and since I was solo that day, Charlie (my guide), picked me up at my Airbnb. His car was clean and comfortable and we had great conversation on our way to the various sites. As we discussed what I had seen and done on previous days, he was able to tie together how the whole history and places connected. We enjoyed a lunch in Sighisoara and dessert in Viscri. I learned so much and was an absolutely wonderful day!

Best experience! - The whole trip was fantastic! I was lucky enough to have my tour guide Charlie to myself and was able to ask him all sorts of questions about life in Romania, the places I had explored on my own as well as about the places we went and saw. We enjoyed a nice little lunch in Sighisoara and some rhubarb cake in Viscri. Honestly, it felt like hanging out with a really knowledgeable old friend! Highly recommend- it was the highlight of my trip to Romania!

Wonderful Guide - The tour was excellent. We even made a couple of additional stops beyond what was listed in the schedule. Dan was a wonderful guide and was clearly interested in providing a great experience.

Our Transilvania Experience - We had a great tour experience today with Mihai! He taught us a lot about Romanian history (he was VERY knowledgeable!) and he was also very kind and made us feel comfortable. We had the opportunity to go to Sighișoara, Viscri, and Rupea today and it was so beautiful. Transilvania is wonderful! We hope to come back to Transilvania very soon. If you want a knowledgeable, respectful tour guide, Mihai is your guy!

The Best Tour Day EVER - This was one of our most memorable tour days ever, because of the expertise of Tiberiu Simon, our guide. He was well-versed in all topics and sites and history, an armchair philosopher who believes education to be the key to insure that history does not repeat itself. My husband and I WERE the only ones in our small group and we spent over ten hours visiting Sighisoara, Vistri, and the Rupea Fortress. Tiberiu placed us in photo perfect positions, took us to an interesting farm to table restaurant in a restored barn for lunch. We couldn't have asked for a better day and highly recommend others to try this experience.

Expected and unexpected good locations and excellent guide - The guide was excellent with real y good English, friendly and well-based cultural comments. The itinerary was timely well fitted (without hurries nor boring) and the route Shigsoara, Vicri etc marvellous. Shigsoara was expectativas to be excellent due to it s international recognition, but Vicri and it s fortress well-built and preserved by locals with los economic resources for centuries is impressive.
