What To Expect
Cetatea Rupea
It is a medieval fortress, built starting with the 14th century on the hill of Cohalm. The first documentary attestation dates from 1324 when the Saxons revolted against King Carol Robert of Hungary took refuge inside the fortress, Castrum Kuholm. The name of Kuholom refers to the rock on which it was built: basalt. Documents from the 15th century mention the fortress as an important trade and craft center with 12 guilds. The citadel served over time as a fortification but also a refuge for the population that lived in the surrounding hills and valleys, its settlement being strategic: at the junction of the roads connecting Transylvania, Moldova and Wallachia through the southeastern passes.Rupea Citadel, built on Cohalmului Hill, dominating the city from above, was built and expanded in the 14th-17th centuries, as a fortress and refuge for the surrounding villages.

5.00Traian was very flexible and took us to places we were most interested in. He is very knowledgeable of the history of the sites, having been a tour guide for 27 years and owner of Discover Wild Transylvania. In one day we visited Rupea, Viscri and village, Sighisoara and Biertan..
Lovely tour of fortified churches

5.00Traian did an amazing job! This comprehensive visit was an excellent and well-worthwhile tour. Lasting from 8:30 to 7:00 with travel time included, it covered Rupea, Viscri, Sighisoara, and Biertan. Traian was extremely knowledgeable about each destination, and explained well how each tied into the greater Romanian history. Further, he was extremely flexible, and was able to cater to our schedule. For three people, the fee was around 500 USD. This included the extra site (Biertan), and all transportation (which, considering the price of gas and what it would be to rent a car, was very reasonable). The overall atmosphere was very congenial, and well worth an entire day. If you are a history buff, this would be right up your alley. Would highly recommend.

5.00A fascinating experience in which our very informative guide, Traian, shared the history, traditions and beautiful countryside of Transylvania. Each stop is in a picturesque setting and connected to interesting legends and figures from the past. Traian really brought history to life and ensured that we had the most enjoyable experience.

5.00We booked this tour upon arrival in Braşov, as this was a late change to our travel itinerary. I spoke Traian, the owner and General Manager, and he agreed to take us on a private tour of the Unesco sites in Transylvania! The tour exceed all expectations. Traian was extremely knowledgeable and a real joy to spend time with. He is passionate about his country and that came through. The highlight of the tour was topping at one of his friends house to drink some home made schnapps! Highly recommend this tour!!!
The castles, villages and unesco sites are amazing. Kept very well and people are so welcoming the food is amazing

Amazing day out

5.00We had an amazing day out with Traian! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the places we visited as well as Romanian history and many more aspects. We went in February and whilst it was a little chilly in places we had almost every stop to ourselves making it such a peaceful experience. We would thoroughly recommend using Discovery Transylvania and are sad we couldn't stay longer to experience the other trips they offer as well !
Good Day Trip

5.00This was a pretty good day trip to take. I highly recommend doing a trip like this versus trying to book a train or bus for a day trip to Sighisoara. The vehicle was impeccably clean and very nice to ride in. Also the stops at Rupea and Viscri were both very interesting to visit. Rupea is a partially restored fortress with some beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. If feels a bit wild up on top of it. The Viscri church was very picturesque. Sighisoara has a very compact old town so this day trip really gives you enough time to hit the highlights. Of course our guide was very knowledge about all the sights that we visited.
