Sibiu

The walking tour of Sibiu is dedicated to the tourists who want that their passage through Sibiu will be a memorable experience. During the guided tour, I’ll lead your steps through the cobbled streets, from the imposing medieval walls to the romantic squares surrounded by historical buildings; from the colorful Orthodox Cathedral to the majestic Lutheran Church, from the legends of the Bridge of Lies to the amazing stories of the medieval guilds. Sibiu is awash in aristocratic elegance. Noble Saxon's history emanates from every art-nouveau facade and gold-embossed church. Renowned composers Strauss, Brahms, and Liszt all played here during the 19th century, and Sibiu has stayed at the forefront of Romania’s cultural scene through its festivals of opera, theatre, and film, as well as rock, jazz, and more. Beyond its grand architecture, Sibiu has a good dose of bohemian flair.

    We had a private tour for 6 people with Bogdan, where we were picked up in Cluj Napoca and he drove us to different towns and cities in Romania over the course of 4 days. From the out of this world Turda salt mine, and the beautiful and magical Sighisoara, Bogdan gave us an amazing tour of the best parts of Romania, telling us some interesting and funny stories along the way. We also had an authentic Romanian meal which was delicious. I felt at ease with Bogdan straight away, he was very down to earth and happy to give us advice and recommendations along the way. He also knew a lot of people along the way which made things a lot easier. Glad we decided to have a tour with Bogdan, it took a lot of the worry out of the trip as he knew where he was going and we may have struggled to navigate on our own. Thank you so much for a brilliant tour, would highly recommend Bogdan to anyone wanting to travel and see Romania. So many beautiful and interesting places to see!

    So glad we found Bogdan for our tour! 6 friends in our group to see parts of Romania that would be so hard to get to without the car and made so interesting with Bogdan's input and knowledge. We had such a wonderful time and once we got to Bucharest, other local tour guides were impressed we'd managed to see as much. Fantastic meal in the accommodation one evening and great advice on where to go on the other evenings for meals etc. It really does make seeing the real country very easy and comfortable! I would recommend Bogdan to anyone visiting this area. Thank you for a brilliant trip!!
