What To Expect
Castelul Corvinilor
This iconic Transylvanian castle is an incredible example of Gothic architecture in this region of Europe. With the knowledgeable guide, you will discover every corner of the castle and learn the history and legends of the Castle, developed over 500 years. Throughout the castle, prepare to walk up around 100-200 stairs and a total of 1-2 miles throughout your tour. If desired, enjoy 15 minutes of free time for souvenir shopping or buying snacks at the shops near the castle.
Cetatea Alba Iulia
Next, we'll be on your way to Alba Iulia to begin the next stage of the journey. We will visit the Citadel of Alba Iulia, a Vauban fortress where we'll discover 2 millennia of Romania's history walking on the alleys and squares inside. In the citadel, we will visit the Orthodox Church and Catholic Cathedral as well as the Roman ruins. We will admire the imposing bastions and ravelins of the fort as well as the beautifully carved Baroque-era gates. Our guests will have another 15 minutes of free time to grab a coffee or browse the souvenirs in the main square of the citadel. During your time in Alba Iulia, the guests can also choose to stop for lunch (at own expense) and choose from an array of restaurants that are serving both Romanian and international food.

3.00A bit of a clock watcher and spent about an hour texting and then chatting with a fellow guide he ran into. Good guide but shouldn’t do those things.
Great day trip

5.00We did this day trip with Florin and had a good experience. Corvin Castle was interesting and Florin was very well versed in the history of the castle and area. Same with Alba Lulia. Well worth it to be able to sit back, be driven and see all the scenery.
A dream trip to the Sibiu countryside with incredible sights served by an enthusiastic guide

5.00An incredibly varied and eventful day trip to particularly imposing buildings in the Sibiu area. Corvin Castle is very fascinating and Alba Iulia impresses with its incredible size and variety of a historic square. And our guide Florin not only took us to all the special places, but also thrilled us with his descriptions of history and life in his home country today. And all in complete serenity - without ever looking at the clock!
Must do

5.00It was a great trip. Florin was very informative, giving us the impression that there was no question he couldn’t answer. He was very attentive to us, especially since I have slight difficulty with climbing stairs, and he made every effort to accommodate all our needs.
I loved every minute

5.00My best friend and I booked this tour and had the pleasure of having Adela as our guide. She was super friendly and kind. It felt more like being out with a local friend showing off their country rather than with just any tour guide. Adela is very knowledgeable too so it was great learning from her while having fun conversation. I would absolutely recommend this tour and Adela to anyone.
