UNESCO Transylvania day trip to Sighisoara and Biertan, small group, English guide, admissions included, and a classic Romanian lunch.

“Aurelian is a knowledgeable yet laid-back, humorous guide. He gave us insight into the history of the area but also really went the extra mile in showing us some extra sights. He is also a safe driver :) It was such a memorable and lovely day, partly due to our luck in being paired with Aurelian. As for Sighisoara and Biertan themselves, it was absolutely inspiring. It felt like going back in time, truly a fairy tale experience. Worth it!”

Two-day Transylvania circuit from Cluj: Sighișoara, Brasov, Bran, Peleș and Viscri, with meals, tickets, and hotel pickup.

“Overall, we enjoyed our experience. Unfortunately of the three castles listed on our tour we were only able to see two.

“Este paseo es bueno, demasiada carretera, aunque el guia nos ayudó mucho en elegir lugares para comer y cenar y los paisajes son hermosos. El hotel fue magnifico, en el centro de brasov. Considero que una mayor informacion histórica y mayor explicación de los lugares con datos y hechos hubiera hecho de la actividad que fuera de 5 estrellas.”
