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.

Great tour with a well-informed guide - We had a wonderful tour with Mihai who drove us to several key spots in the region. Mihai knows the history of the area well and has great stories and insights to share. The churches, towns, and countryside really came to life on this journey. Five stars, we totally recommend Mihai and this tour company for your adventures in the Transylvanian region.

Fantastic tour - Our guide Charlie was knowledgeable, charming, helpful and funny. He was punctual and an excellent driver. We enjoyed the tour and the order of the itinerary. We visited those places without rush and Charlie did extra stop for our afternoon cup of coffee. Thanks for Sara from Hongkong for a lovely company. Overall, great day, colorful Romania, delicious food and sunny weather. Strongly recommend this tour with Charlie (a new nick name: Pinocchio 😁🤣😜) Anna and Alice

Great small group tour of Sighişoara, etc. - Both the Viscri fortified church and the Rupea fortress were visually striking and very interesting. Seeing beautiful Sighişoara was also worthwhile.
