Ask for Charlie! - What an AMAZING experience!! I have to say, this was the highlight of our trip! Communication on pick-up and time was fantastic. The best part? CHARLIE! What a RIOT. Charlie was an amazing guide, he had lots of stories to share and kept us in stitches. We walked 176 stairs to visit a church and grave site in Sighisoara - inside the basement of the church were tombs and during the story telling, there was a little surprise - I won't spoil the fun with the details but if you like to laugh - you'll love it! It was a great day - beautiful country side and I would highly recommend this tour! You will NOT be disappointed! Thank you, Charlie! We will always remember our day trip with you!

Good tour with Dan - Dan was a good tour guide with a prompt pickup at the library. Always kept us informed of what was happening and asked the group had long they needed in Sighisoara,

A lovely day with a great guide - Charlie was the perfect guide for my daughter and I. He was friendly and informative, pointing out all the interesting places on the way to our destinations. He took us for an excellent lunch before visiting Sighisoara, which is well worth a visit. All in all a very good day, I would highly recommend.

A Day Well Spent - We had a wonderful day with Tibi who was knowledgeable and engaging about the history of the various sites we visited. In Viscri he arranged for us to have my favorite meal in Romania so far at an historic home. Tibi made the history of the area come alive with getting too much into the vampire myths. Our whole group felt it was a day well spent.

A wonderfully full day - An excellent small group tour out of Brasov, ideal if you only have a short time. Almost too much history to absorb. Our guide, Tiberiu, took us to a wonderful local restaurant in Viscri that was truly the icing on a wonderful cake.

A nice day from Brasov - Great day trip from Brasov . Our group of six had Charlie as our guide and he was very friendly, informative and nice. Sighisoara is beautiful and not to be missed . Viscri village is also very nice and we ate at a farm to table restaurant which was delicious. Very well organized day trip.

Well worth it! - Our guide Dan was very knowledgeable. The Viscri village and fortification were very intriguing ... saw examples of old crafts and experienced their living conditions years ago. We were able to go in King Charles's house he has bought in the village which has made an impact on the local community. The medieval town of Sighisoara was also an example of how various local guilds defended the town ... again our guide made it very interesting.

Great experience with Active Travel on multiple tours - I just came back from experiencing Transylvania with 3 separate day tours provided by Active Travel: Sighisoara- Viscri-Rupea Sibiu-Fagarras Bran Castle -Peles Castle- Rasnov Fortress All were well organized with a good amount of time at each stop (no rushing through them). The sites were interesting and the guides informative. There was flexibility in order and timing to accompany the groups. They provided good, quick communication at booking and clear information the day prior to each tour confirming where to meet when. I appreciate that they make these tours available for single participants with a refund in partial cost if others join. I highly recommend you look at Active Travel for single and multi-day tours in Transylvania.
