“Truly one of the most memorable tours I had. Our guide Dan, was a rare gem. A historian by training and once a news presenter, Dan brought Transylvania to live. He wasn't just going through the known facts, but the lesser known as well. Why was Corvin Castle built the way it was, what does the actual historical evidence reveal about murder holes, what was the social dynamics like for the towns in Sibiu back in the day? This is where Dan's knowledge makes this not just a typical tour. Highly recommended!”

“This was a wonderful day trip following the advertised itinerary. Sergiu reached out to me prior to the outing to make sure everything was coordinated. While Corvin Castle was the highlight of the trip (and certainly worth the drive), the other stops were fantastic as well. Sergiu was fun to travel with and knowledgeable about the sites. I would highly recommend this tour if you find yourself in Timisoara.”

“We couldn’t have wished for a better tour and tour guide. Andrei was extremely engaging and knowledgeable. We very much enjoyed his explanations, story telling and easy going manner of taking us along this tour. Andrei’s English was flawless. The fact that he had studied in the Netherlands (with some of us on the tour originating from there) was an extra cherry on top. It was nice to get to see parts of Timisoara that fall outside the more touristic zones, to get a taste of what daily life may have been like there in earlier times and today. Cannot recommend this tour highly enough!! Multcumesc 🙏”

“Our guide, Sergui, was fantastic and had excellent knowledge of the area, including the salt mine and castle. I highly recommend this outing. However, it wasn't Sergui's fault, but the vehicle we traveled in was quite small for my family. Both my husband and brother-in-law are tall and have knee issues due to their age. A larger and more spacious vehicle would have made the experience better.”
