Tudor is an excellent tour guide, great combo tour of history, sights, hiking. - Excellent tour that gives you a taste of city life in Transylvania as well as an insight to the mighty nature that surrounds this beautiful land. If you want history, sightseeing and nature hikes (our family of 2 adults and a young adult of 22 years, and two 18 year olds ) loved touring with Tudor.

Excellant - Definitely recommend this trip! Tudor is such an experienced and knowledgeable guide and can cater the trip to your needs. For example I am vegetarian and he made sure every resturant/cafe we went to had a veggie option. There is such a good range of things to see and do on this trip. You get a balance between culture, adventure, history and nature. Transylvania is such a beautiful place, definitely not advertised enough. Can't recommend this trip enough, we had an amazing time.
