We were looking for a day trip from Cluj, both locations were great to visit. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable. I noticed other people listening to our guide because they were missing the great stories. Would highly recommend this itinerary.

Hunedoara and Alba Iulia - a dream come true

Gaesi_P, Sep 2019
I had a wonderful tourguide by the name of Joseph who took me on a adventure and had the patience to go into great detail about the history of each location. At the end of the experience I feel I have a greater understanding of a previous part of their history - and I can tell you, it is intriguing. I enjoyed it so much, I've passed the details onto all of my colleagues and intend to book at least one more tour!

Response from Host, Dec 2019

Beautiful and interesting experience. Our guide Geta turned out to be very knowledgeable and equally clear in the explanations. Timely and excellent driver, especially for the considerable amount of snow encountered during the tour. Great hike.
