Essential Sighişoara and Biertan. - Gabrielle was very knowledgeable and led us on a great tour of the old town and the tower and the fortress church of Sighişoara. It was respectful of our time, and was able to get us into the Biertan church just before it closed.

Cultural tour - George is an excellent guide for Biertan and Sigisoara castle. He provided a comfortable ride, made sure everyone in the group was ok and shared interesting facts about all the places we visited. Highlight for us was the saxon church!

Amazing tour discovering gems of Transilvania - Adrian was an amazing guide. He was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We learned so much about the history of the area and of Romania in general! At each stop we were getting a guided tour of the place and afterwards we had some free time to explore on our own. We definitely recommend the experience!

Biertan and Sighisoara Tour - March 2025 - We took a tour to the fortress church of Biertan and the city of Sighisoara. Thanks to Andrei's passion and his great knowledge of the places we were able to enjoy these two fantastic UNESCO places.

A wonderful cultural visit. - An excellent tour. Andrei was punctual, polite and a safe driver. His English language and knowledge of history was phenomenal. The tour was very interesting at both sites. Andrei also shared his knowledge with us during the drive. I recommend the tour whole heartedly. Andrei was enthusiastic and indefatigable in his quest to share Romanian history with us despite temperatures of +34C today.

Sighisoara and Biertan - an extraordinary experience - This trip was an extraordinary experience and I really recommend it: Sighisoara and Biertan were the two must-see sites in Transylvania. I took the trip together with a colleague and together we had the chance to delve into Romania's history in the most interesting way. This wouldn't have been possible if it weren't for our guide George, who was happy to answer our questions, give us the background to what we were seeing and with whom we sent very special moments. I would therefore like to finish this story with a big thank you to George, for his generosity and kindness! I will never forget this trip.
