Itinerary
Meeting point in the Council Square at the water fountain by 9 am.
Visit Sighisoara medieval town - UNESCO world heritage and Vlad the Impaler birthplace. So resplendent are Sighişoara’s pastel-coloured buildings, stony lanes and medieval towers, you’ll rub your eyes in disbelief. Fortified walls encircle Sighişoara’s lustrous merchant houses, now harbouring cafes, hotels and craft shops. Visit Sighisoara medieval town including The Clock Tower, The Church on the Hill and the house where Vlad the Impaler was born. Walking along the wall that surrounds Sighisoara citadel we admire the five centuries-old houses along with the towers erected by various guilds of the citadel, from which the Shoemakers, Tailors and Tin Makers Guilds towers are the most impressive. We visit the Church on the Hill but not before climbing the 175 covered steps which were built in 1642 in order to make easier access for the schoolchildren's. Traditional lunch can be arranged in Sighisoara medieval town at Dracula House Restaurant!
Visit Viscri, an authentic Transylvanian village and the oldest fortified church in Transylvania and UNESCO world heritage site. Walking through this enchanting village is like going back in time! Even Prince Charles of Wales, attracted by the beauty of this area, bought a house here a few years ago. Visit Prince Charles of Wales house. With a medieval fortification at its heart and bucolic meadows in its surrounds, Viscri epitomises the romance of rural Transylvania. Flowing from Viscri’s medieval fortified church are cobbled lanes flanked by rows of cornflower-blue houses. The only sounds are the rattle of horse-drawn carts and the clank of a blacksmith’s workshop. Viscri village remains one of the best-preserved Saxon villages in Romania. Have a walk through the village and discover a cultural and natural landscape which disappeared in most parts of Europe. Time allocated for taking pictures and walking through the village. Your guide will lead you to the best spots!

Marius (I am sorry I am not sure of the spelling) gave us an amazing tour to places that give an amazing history into Romania. This area is rich in history which shaped where the country is today. I felt these areas are hidden treasures that everyone should explore. One of the best tours we have had. Thank you Marius for a wonderful day!
Great experience, guide was knowledgeable and stayed with us throughout the day. Easy to find pickup point and guide was on time.
This was a great way to visit areas outside Brasov. The van was very comfortable and the scenery on the drive was beautiful, a really great way to travel. Mimi was a fantastic guide and was so open to being flexible with the group. She gave us great information about the area and all the best things to check out, she's a perfect tour guide! I would recommend anyone do this trip, you'll get to see some really beautiful places in a really beautiful country!
MUST GO! I had such a wonderful experience with Alex on this one. I am a savvy traveler and big fan of excursions. There are bad guides, so-so guides and amazing guides. Alex is AMAZING! He had so many interesting stories to share about places we went and beyond. This trip was the last tour on our Romanian trip and we have learnt so much we have not heard on other tours. Both towns are simply beautiful. Very authentic. If ended up being one of my favorite days in Romania.

I joined Bogdan’s tour and had a really great experience.

I would strongly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area.
