Sighisoara - it's worth the trip - Everything was perfect. We wish that there were more guides than Dan. He was very authentic, careful (in regards to driving and travel sickness of one of the passengers) and could answer all our questions. We can recommend this tour with Dan.

Charlie is absolutely brilliant. We had a wonderful day with him. His recommendations were fantastic, and he taught - Both the villages visited, as well as the restaurant where we ate (viscri 32) and everything has been great. We were very lucky with our guide and have enjoyed the experience very much.

A walk through the... - A walk through deep Transylvania, a landscape of hills and green valleys, a beauty; a visit to the fortified church and village of Vicris that will leave you speechless; and finally, Siguishoara, which is like being transported back to the Middle Ages, a fine example of the Saxon presence in Romania. Our guide Alina, perfect, cultured and entertaining, we really enjoyed her explanations

Must do when in Romania - If you’re staying in Brasov make sure you take the time to visit sighisoara! What an absolute gem of Transylvania, we also visit Viscri for lunch and a visit to the fortress church which was wonderful and shows you the traditional Romania you imagine. The whole day was something from a fairytale and our guide was wonderful! Thank you Charlie for a lovely day exploring your country. 10/10
