Great experience.

Cynthia_V, May 2023

Very knowledgeable guide. Shared a great deal of history of Romania. Able to speak English. Had one on one tour.

A truly remarkable tour that brings history back to life

Devane_S, Nov 2022

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!

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Thanks for the kind words! I also had a great day with you. Maybe one day we meet again! I sure hope so!

Really neat tours and stories to go with it

Julie_D, Nov 2022

Our guide was chill and showed us a lot of cool spots. It was also really interesting to hear some of the old legends and stories about the areas we visited.

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Dear Julie, I am happy you enjoyed our trip and I hope you'll be back one day so we can explore more of Romania! Kind regards, Sergiu

Great tour, very knowledgeable guide

Mara_D, Jun 2022

I definitely recommend this tour! Sibiu is a beautiful and unique city, and Corvin Castle is unlike any other castle I've visited - absolutely worth a trip! Our guide, Sergiu, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and answered all of our questions about Romanian culture and geography. He was thoughtful about planning our itinerary around potential rain that day, and gave us a bunch of recommendations for things to do in Timisoara, the city where we were staying. Absolutely recommend!

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Dear Mara, Thank you for the kind words. I am happy you enjoyed Timisoara and our trip together and I hope you'll recommend Romania to your friends back in the US. Greetings from sunny Timisoara Sergiu
