“We had an amazing tour with our guide Dino. He was very friendly and we had great conversations in the car en route to the destinations. He goes the extra mile to make sure that it's an amazing experience. In Sighisoara he even helped and changed a bit of the schedule to find a specific store. He guided us to an amazing place to eat and made sure we were enjoying all of it. I can 100% recommend it!”

He gave us a lot of information about Romanian life, history, culture and geography as we drove between the sites. The car was clean comfortable and new. It was actually a luxury vehicle. He called ahead to book us a beautiful historic restaurant with great food in the house where Vlad the impaler was born in Sigisoara. He also took us to a beautiful traditional inn in the lovely village of Viscri for tea. If you visit Transylvania, this tour to see the UNESCO sites of Rupea,…”

“This was a great tour. Claudiu was a good guide giving lots of information. I had first considered going to Sighisoara by public transport, but I'm very glad I chose this tour.

Plus you have all the benefits of a well informed guide. I would highly recommend the tour.”
