Nicely organized tour across the UNESCO sites. Very informative and with a great guide in Istvan. Highly recommended.
Very nice experience, totally worth the money and you get to experience the beautiful northern Transylvanian countryside in all its glory. Was very surprised at the Hungarian and (particularly) German influences on the Transylvanian culture also.
Excellent day visiting the two cities with a fantastic and knowledgeable guide, Andrei. Thanks for the trip!
Excellent tour, wonderful memories in the heart of Romania. Adrian is an awesome guide, capable, extroverted and knowledgeable. 10/10 would do it again
Istvan was such a knowledgeable and personable tour guide. He really knew how to deliver the history in a way that made me want to discover more. The fortified churches and towns we walked through were breathtaking and I wish I was able to see more. Highly recommend.
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.
We were picked up from our hotel by our guide Andrei and we spent the day in Biertan and Sighisoara. Andrei had a great sense of humour and was so knowledgeable about the area and local history. He answered all our questions and was just a really nice guy. I would definitely recommend this tour. Thanks Andrei we had a great time.
A must see for history and architecture enthusiasts! And George the guide has encyclopedic knowledge of Transylvanian and Romanian history and culture.
Aurelian is a knowledgeable yet laid-back, humorous guide. He gave us insight into the history of the area but also really went the extra mile in showing us some extra sights. He is also a safe driver :) It was such a memorable and lovely day, partly due to our luck in being paired with Aurelian. As for Sighisoara and Biertan themselves, it was absolutely inspiring. It felt like going back in time, truly a fairy tale experience. Worth it!
The day started with a long road drive to Sighisoara. Spent a few hours wandering the place. Then stopped for lunch at Biertan followed by a tour of the fortified church. A long day but worth it.
My only comment would be that it would have been nice to stop somewhere during the drive to sighisoara for a coffee/comfort break.
Apart from that the two sites are well preserved, clean, and not too many tourist traps. Would definitely recommend
Our guide was very knowledgeable and explained things in a lot of detail.
Tour veramente esaustivo e completo di Biertan e la sua chiesa fortificata....e della bellissima Sighisoara...piccola perla davvero da non perdere in Transilvania.
Guida Andrei davvero speciale, paziente ed esaustiva.
La excursión a Sighisoara y Biertan estuvo fenomenal. Los pueblos son preciosos y merece mucho la pena verlos, para entender mejor la historia de Rumania. El guía Andrei Nicu es fenomenal me explico muy bien todo (con mucha historia). me enseño muy bien los dos sitios y fue muy agradable en todo momento. Recomiendo mucho hacer esta excursión.
