Enriching cultural trip - Mihal is a very knowledgeable and patient guide. As such, we were able to spend more time at stops worth visiting and skim through those he felt wasn't worth the trip. He is also a good photographer as well.
He does hiking trips but unfortunately due to limited time I can't do it ,otherwise I would love to have him again as my guide

Excellent day tour - Great day with Charlie. Just the two of us picked up at our hotel. Great history lesson of Romania and Transylvania with insights into present day. Free time for lunch in Sighisoara. All 3 sites are worth the visit. He humoured us with our Monty Python jokes. Pace was much better than with a large group that suited us.
Went in Charlie’s personal car - he is a safe driver.

A delightful day on the outskirts of Brasov - Having one free day in Brasov prior to a hiking adventure i was fortunate to join another couple on this fabulous tour. Our guide Dan was both entertaining and very knowledgeable highlighting endless historical data as we ventured thru the medieval fortress, a fortified church in Viscri and finally the amazing town of Sighisoara. It was a long day but joyful and informative. Thank you Dan.

Highly recommend this wonderful day out in Transylvania - Had a wonderful day exploring the Transylvanian countryside and learning the fascinating history of the peasant castle of Rupea, the fortified church of Viscri and the lovely little town of Sighisoara. Our guide Charlie was fantastic - showing us around, pointing out little details, patiently answering all our questions, and making the experience feel like a fun day out with a friend. Highly recommend this tour!

Fantastic Tour with Charlie - What an incredible day. Charlie was my guide, and we had a chance to visit all of the things I would want to see on this tour, but the tour is so much more than that. Charlie really gives outstanding perspective on Romanian and Transylvanian history, telling the stories of the groups that live here and how they have changed over the years. I have so many great memories, I would recommend this tour without hesitation.
