Start the day heading north through the beautiful hills of Transylvania, to one of the best kept secrets of the Saxon land. Viscri, a UNESCO monument, it’s as charming as the story goes. With its blue and pastel colored houses and a white fortified church that survived the centuries, the village is worth traveling the extra miles from the main road to explore an amazing place where time seems to have stopped in a different era.

Dinu was a wonderful, knowledgeable, sharing guide. He tailored our trip to our wants and made it very personal and special day. We went places that where a little off the tourist path and introduced us to many friends he had in the area. He went at our pace and took our needs in consideration the whole day. Will definitely remember this day for years to come.
Great day. Our guide was very helpful & knowledgeable. Polite & good driver.
Thank you for the wonderful review :)
Radu was an excellent guide who couldn’t have been more helpful. He was knowledgeable, kind, and attentive and we wish him well for the future.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us!
Great day out. Ramona was an amazing guide, incredibly knowledgable about lots of topics.
Thank you for the 5 stars review!
I have difficulty walking and my husband is an avid photographer. Radu immediately sensed my needs and my husband’s desires. He was willing to adjust our schedule to make this experience wonderful for both of us. He stopped along the road many times for pictures knowing the perfect spot and angle for the best shots. He was very diligent in making sure I was safe and comfortable. I was certainly able to see more because he cared. He knew to take us to a shuttle so I could experience Sighisoara without much walking. Radu was exceptionally considerate with both me and my husband. And to top it off he had a great sense of humor. Ramona at the office was quickly responsive every time we had a question. I would highly recommend their wonderful experience.

We were lucky to take a tour to Sighișoara and Viscri with Ramona as our guide, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, she proved to be a true professional, passionate about her work, and her enthusiasm came through in every explanation. She showed us not only the most iconic places, but also all those little details and stories that really make a difference and bring each location to life. Thanks to her, we gained a much deeper understanding of the history, culture, and charm of each place. On top of that, Ramona is incredibly friendly, warm, and kind, which made everyone in the group feel comfortable and enjoy the day even more. Her energy and storytelling turn a simple tour into a truly memorable experience. We would highly recommend Ramona to anyone who wants to explore this area in an authentic and engaging way. An exceptional guide!
Thank you for the very detailed review :)
Ramona was authentic and informative. Ramona was timely and moved at a leisurely pace while ensuring we captured all elements of what make Saxon Transylvania, Viscri & Sighișoara the incredible not to be missed destinations that they are. It is an easy day trip from Brașov and a beautiful and comfortable drive. I look forward to booking day hike trips with Ramona to further explore the region!
