Sighisoara
Discover the only city in Romania which looks exactly the same way as in the XVIth century - Sighisoara. Take a trip in time in this one day tour or simply get all the inside information in a walking tour if you are traveling on your own. While in Sighisoara you have several options to eat lunch or snacks. We provide you enough time during the tour to dine in a restaurant or have snacks at different stalls and enjoy a stroll on your own and look for souvenirs. One of their favorite snack is the Langos, a deep fried bred dough topped with cheese and sour cream as savory or powdered sugar/jam as sweet snack. We always recommend Alte Post Restaurant where delicious traditional food is served. For souvenirs guests usually go for traditional, handmade gifts, easy to transport. Many of these are wooden spoons, small jewelry or even T-shirts. Please note the locations we are visiting are uneven paved with stones and for your safety we recommend you to wear sturdy shoes all seasons.

A Lovely Tour

5.00Just a great day that showed us a part of Romania that we would never have otherwise explored. Everything was very well managed and we had all the time we needed to see and take in all we needed in the spots we visited.
Ask for Charlie!

5.00What an AMAZING experience!! I have to say, this was the highlight of our trip! Communication on pick-up and time was fantastic. The best part? CHARLIE! What a RIOT. Charlie was an amazing guide, he had lots of stories to share and kept us in stitches. We walked 176 stairs to visit a church and grave site in Sighisoara - inside the basement of the church were tombs and during the story telling, there was a little surprise - I won't spoil the fun with the details but if you like to laugh - you'll love it! It was a great day - beautiful country side and I would highly recommend this tour! You will NOT be disappointed! Thank you, Charlie! We will always remember our day trip with you!
Good tour with Dan

5.00Dan was a good tour guide with a prompt pickup at the library. Always kept us informed of what was happening and asked the group had long they needed in Sighisoara,
A lovely day with a great guide

5.00Charlie was the perfect guide for my daughter and I. He was friendly and informative, pointing out all the interesting places on the way to our destinations. He took us for an excellent lunch before visiting Sighisoara, which is well worth a visit. All in all a very good day, I would highly recommend.
A Day Well Spent

5.00We had a wonderful day with Tibi who was knowledgeable and engaging about the history of the various sites we visited. In Viscri he arranged for us to have my favorite meal in Romania so far at an historic home. Tibi made the history of the area come alive with getting too much into the vampire myths. Our whole group felt it was a day well spent.
A wonderful day

5.00An excellent small group tour out of Brasov, ideal if you only have a short time. Almost too much history to absorb. Our guide, Tiberiu, took us to a wonderful local restaurant in Viscri that was truly the icing on a wonderful cake.
A nice day from Brasov

5.00Our guide Dan was very knowledgeable. The Viscri village and fortification were very intriguing ... saw examples of old crafts and experienced their living conditions years ago. We were able to go in King Charles's house he has bought in the village which has made an impact on the local community. The medieval town of Sighisoara was also an example of how various local guilds defended the town ... again our guide made it very interesting.
