Excellent tour full of history and unique churches worth seeing! - Our guide Peter was positively wonderful! Chock full of information, history, cultural knowledge, local - he was the epitome of the perfect guide. Not too fast, not to slow his pace was delightful. The sites were beautiful - if you are into churches these are really incredible to see, with frescoes from the 14th century to 16th. There is a bit of uphill walking but nothing outrageous and if I can do it you definitely can. If you are looking to learn about the outskirts of the tourist towns and seeing some fascinating churches then this special trip is for you. Peter answered all of our questions beyond just the tour and even helped us get to another church we were looking for. Ask for him, you will not be disappointed!!

Real highlight - This ended up being a real highlight of our time in Transylvania, Peter was a wonderful guide, interesting and with a whole host of information at his fingertips and it made such a difference to bringing the whole thing alive with the history, stories etc. Churches themselves were wonderful to see and such an interesting slice of history here. Highly recommend.
