Saxon Villages within Transylvania date back more than 900 years. Fortified churches, peasant fortresses and castles are those things that you will explore on your 7-Day private guided tour of Transylvania. Here, the ways of life have remained unchanged after hundreds of years. With the help of "Mihai Eminescu Trust Foundation” that functioned under the patronage of King Charles III, many of the traditional houses from the Transylvanian villages were carefully restored and are now ready for you to discover.

  • Unbelievable experience that we’ll always cherish

    Words will fail me to adequately describe the trip that George planned for us. It was so much more than I could have ever imagined. His knowledge of history, relationships with locals in every area we explored and witty conversation kept us happily entertained. We feel like we have a good understanding of Romania and it’s unique areas, culture and traditions. He planned everything so perfectly and never complained about my incessant need to shop for beautiful Romanian crafts. The hotels he selected were truly spectacular and always located in the best locations. Our trip back in time to Maramuras was so special. We were able to see everyone dressed in their beautiful traditional clothes as they celebrated Pentecost. They were all so gracious and accepted us with generosity, kindness AND baskets of cookies. It doesn’t get better than that! We were able to eat in several private homes which was not only delicious but a true privilege to get a glimpse of their way of life. So warm and welcoming! Watching them build their iconic haystacks, work their loom or distill their favorite liquor was a photographer’s dream. George completely spoiled us! We’ve never been ones to travel with a private guide before as we’ve traveled extensively over the years … but now I understand what we were missing. George made the experience personal and truly captivating. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Mooltsoomesc!

    My sister and I had an amazing 9 day adventure with George in May. We were able to visit 2 villages in Transylvania where our grandparents had been born, and even had a chance encounter with some relatives. The accommodations that he had reserved were always well located and comfortable. Dinners in local homes were fantastic!! George has discovered some wonderful Romanian cooks who prepare the most delicious food with fresh, local ingredients. We visited Maramures, Bucovina and Transylvania and loved them all. George is a great driver, and a great guide. We highly recommend his tours.
