- Viscri Fortified Church - The journey begins with a pickup from your hotel in Brasov, followed by a scenic hour-and-a-half drive to Viscri. During the drive, the operator will share insights into the early history of Romania. The first stop is Viscri, a picturesque village nestled in the tranquil countryside of Transylvania. Initially founded by the Székelys, the region’s earliest inhabitants, it later welcomed Saxon settlers in the 12th and 13th centuries. The village boasts the renowned Viscri Fortified Church, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and one of Romania’s most famous landmarks.
- Sighisoara Clock Tower - A short 30-minute drive from Viscri leads to the next destination, Sighișoara Fortress. This UNESCO World Heritage Site, located in the heart of Transylvania, enchants visitors with its vibrant buildings, cobblestone streets, and well-preserved 14th-century architecture, offering a glimpse into the past. Sighișoara, home to the iconic Clock Tower, is where Vlad the Impaler spent his early years. Visitors can explore the medieval citadel, stroll through charming squares, and immerse themselves in the rich history. The fortress’s timeless allure captivates all who visit, making it a must-see for history buffs and those seeking a magical journey through time.
- Cetatea Rupea - On the return journey from Sighisoara, a stop at Rupea Fortress is planned. Although not a UNESCO site like the previous two, it is certainly worth a visit. Built by the Transylvanian Saxons and first recorded in 1324, Rupea Fortress majestically sits atop a 120-meter-high basalt cliff west of Rupea town. This medieval fortress played a crucial strategic role in the 14th century, acting as a key link between Transylvania, Moldavia, and Wallachia. After visiting Rupea Fortress, the tour concludes with a one-hour drive back to your hotel in Brasov.

Fabulous places wonderful guide - We had such a lovely day with Adrian. He was so knowledgeable- I now know more about medieval Transylvania and Vlad the Impaler than I will ever remember, and we also got a sense of the modern politics of Romania. He was very alert to any pace difficulties and adjusted accordingly and even spotted when food was needed. These places are stupendous and we couldn’t have seen them with a more fabulous guide/companion.

Unbeatable Experience! - Adrian is very knowledgeable, clearly has a passion for his country's history and is so engaging. He was flexible with my planning and requests. He has plenty of suggestions for places to visit, extra activities and wonderful food! Amazing tour and tour guide. I visited Sighisoara on my own, so Adrian willingly picked me up there and crafted a wonderful day visiting Prejmer, Biertan and Viscri. Adrian taught me so much; who knew lard and storage units could be so interesting! One of my most memorable trips and the best tour guide I've ever had.

An Exceptional Private Tour of Transylvania – Sighișoara, Viscri & Rupea Fort - The private tour Sighișoara – Viscri UNESCO – Rupea Fort from Brașov was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. The impeccable organization and attention to detail made the entire day both relaxing and full of discoveries.
The guide proved to be not only very well-informed but also passionate, managing to bring each place to life through fascinating stories. I learned historical details, cultural insights, and even local anecdotes that added so much charm to the experience.
The medieval citadel of Sighișoara, the authentic atmosphere of Viscri, and the stunning views from Rupea Fortress left a lasting impression on me. The transportation was comfortable, and the pace of the tour was perfectly balanced, allowing me to fully enjoy every stop.
A 5-star private tour that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who wishes to discover the beauty of Transylvania in an authentic and personalized way.

His deep knowledge, storytelling, and genuine passion for Transylvanian history made every stop come alive. He was friendly, professional, and tailored the day to our interests, making it feel personal and relaxed. If you're in Brasov, don’t miss this tour – and ask for Adrian if you can. He truly made it unforgettable! I've booked already the next one 😄

Amazing! Saw a lot and learned a lot! - This tour was so great! I love that it was private- as in just my husband and myself with our guide, Adrian! It was a long day but so worth it. Adrian is so knowledgeable, and it’s impressive how much information he shared with us off the top of his head. We had great weather the day we went, so the views we had from up top at each of our stops were spectacular. Our guide was very personable, and when he wasn’t sharing historical information, we engaged in great conversations throughout the day, which made it even better- as if we were spending the day with a new friend who was showing us around a country we had never visited before. We also had a great lunch all together in the afternoon, so that was a nice break. My husband and I are so fascinated with Romania, and even more so now and can’t wait to go back and see/learn more!

A truly memorable Transylvania experience - Adrian’s depth of knowledge and love of his country’s history made this a truly memorable experience. My wife and I have been on many group tours which just can’t compare to the personalization Adrian was able to accommodate us with since this was a very specialized “private” tour. We visited 3 historical sites, one of which is a UNESCO site, and when taken together they really explained the history of Transylvania and its importance on the world stage and enormous global events that continue to shape our common history.

Fantastic Guide - My wife and I booked a 4-day bespoke trip with Adrian visiting various sites around Transylvania, plus a trip to see the bears in the wild near Brasov, which was an amazing experience. We organised all our trips via email.
Adrian is a fantastic guide with so much knowledge and such enthusiasm and passion for Romania, he went out of his way to ensure we had a great experience. Adrian is a fun guy to be around, we enjoyed our time with him and we had great conversations about various topics. We really enjoyed visiting the fortified churches of Viscri, Prejmer, Harman and Biertan to name a few. Adrian took us to his family restaurant where we tried the local cuisine which was excellent. If you are planning a visit to Transylvania we would highly recommend using Adrian as your tour guide.
