Great day exploring the countryside of Transylvania with Bogdan. Pick up was exactly as arranged and Bogdan took us to the pretty medieval village of Viscri to visit the fortified church and the house of King Charles. Bogdan then took us to the stunning medieval town of Sighișoara, with a full guided tour of the Old Town before enjoying our free time. Bogdan was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed learning about the stories along the way. He was very welcoming. Thank you for a great day Bogdan.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m really happy to hear you enjoyed the day exploring Viscri and Sighișoara. It was a pleasure showing you around and sharing the stories of these special places. Thank you again for the lovely feedback—I hope to see you again on another adventure in Romania! 😊
Amazing tour!! Bogdan is a wonderful guide, very kind and attentive! Both Sighisoara and Viscri deserve to be visitef!
Thank you so much for your lovely review! I’m really glad you enjoyed the tour and your time in Sighișoara and Viscri—they are truly special places. It was a pleasure spending the day with you! Hope to see you again in Romania! 😊
This tour was absolutely worth it! Bogdan is an excellent guide who made the entire experience unforgettable. His knowledge of the region's history is incredible, from the fascinating story of the Saxon settlers to the unique Protestant fortified churches that served as both places of worship and defensive fortresses for entire communities. Walking through Sighisoara's medieval streets and visiting Viscri's fortified church, we learned so much about how these communities protected themselves and preserved their traditions over centuries. Bogdan brought the local customs and culture to life with engaging stories that made everything meaningful. His passion for the region's heritage is contagious, and he answered all our questions with impressive depth. Both villages are stunning, authentic, and rich with history. The tour was perfectly paced with time to explore and nice atmosphere.
Thank you so much for this amazing and thoughtful review! 😊 I’m truly grateful for your kind words. It makes me very happy to know that the stories of the Saxon settlers and the fortified churches resonated with you. These communities built something truly unique — places of faith that were also designed to protect entire villages — and I’m always passionate about bringing that history to life. I’m glad you enjoyed walking through the medieval streets of Sighișoara and exploring Viscri’s fortified church, and that the pacing allowed you to truly feel the atmosphere of these special places. Your appreciation for the heritage, customs, and traditions of the region means a lot. Thank you for your enthusiasm and for the wonderful recommendation. I hope to welcome you back to Transylvania someday for another journey into Romania’s rich history! Warm regards, Bogdan Transylvania Discovery Tours
Our tour with Bogdan was the beginning of our trip and what a great start it was. He took us to several wonderful places in Transylvania. We particularly enjoyed how he shared the history and culture of the area, getting into areas the big tours do not visit as well as some of his own life story . Bogdan is a very pleasant guide with a great sense of humor. It eas like traveling with a good frien.
I thoroughly enjoyed this tour and would recommend it to anyone who is in Brasov. My tour guide, Marius, was extremely knowledgeable and shared many interesting facts about each destination, as well as Romanian history and culture. As a solo traveller on this tour alone, I felt comfortable and enjoyed the flexibility this brought with timings and stops throughout the day. Marius was an excellent guide, and I cannot thank him enough for a wonderful, memorable experience.
Bogdan met me ta my hotel in Brasov, from where we started the tour. We went to Viscri and then to Sighisoara, where he dropped me off after the tour. He is very kind, knowledgeable and patient, taking all the photos I asked him to take. I wanted to thank him particularly for offering this tour to single travelers. This is one of the VERY FEW tours offered to single travelers that I could find in Transylvania, and I very much appreciate it. Most agencies would impose a 2 person minimum tour, which is highly inconvenient for those who travel alone (why would I want to pay for 2 tickets?). Not only did they not just provide tours for single travelers, but the price was more than decent. I highly recommend this tour to both foreigners who visit Romania, and to Romanians!
