Additional Information

Embark on a journey into the enchanting world of Transylvania!

The two-day trip (starting from Bucharest) incorporates visits to the primary medieval fortresses of Transylvania: The city of Brasov, the impressive Rasnov citadel dating back to the 15th century, and Sighisoara, one of Europe’s most beautiful, well-maintained, and still inhabited medieval citadels. A potential stopover could be the Peles Castle in Sinaia.

On the second day, explore the Rupea citadel - one of the most ancient and well-preserved medieval sites in Romania, with archaeological excavations revealing traces of human habitation dating back to the Paleolithic and early Neolithic periods, and the Prejmer fortress - the biggest fortified church in southeastern Europe. An alternative visit could be to the Dracula Castle in Bran.

Our guide will enlighten you about the history of medieval defense structures, how inhabitants repelled their foes, and how this eventually became a component of our Romanian heritage.

Beyond wonderful - I cannot say enough good things about Toni Tatar. Ours is a unique story in that I was unable to go on the tour due to the COVID 19 quarantine. However, prior to this unexpected issue, Toni was incredible. We were to take a private tour to see my grandmother’s village which she left in 1907. Besides crafting the exact tour I wanted, Toni researched my family name in this area and found 7 other.relatives who emigrated at that time. Without his research the trip would have been much less meaningful. Toni was on top of all of our needs and wants. His kindness and professionalism came through in every email. Travel will eventually be safe again at which time I will go to Romania and meet this remarkable man. Most likely I will stay longer than planned in 2020 because of my comfort with working with him.
