Centrul Istoric Sighisoara
Visit Sighisoara medieval town - UNESCO world heritage and Vlad the Impaler birthplace. So resplendent are Sighişoara’s pastel-coloured buildings, stony lanes and medieval towers, you’ll rub your eyes in disbelief. Fortified walls encircle Sighişoara’s lustrous merchant houses, now harbouring cafes, hotels and craft shops. Visit Sighisoara medieval town including The Clock Tower, The Church on the Hill and the house where Vlad the Impaler was born. Walking along the wall that surrounds Sighisoara citadel we admire the five centuries-old houses along with the towers erected by various guilds of the citadel, from which the Shoemakers, Tailors and Tin Makers Guilds towers are the most impressive. We visit the Church on the Hill but not before climbing the 175 covered steps which were built in 1642 in order to make easier access for the schoolchildren's. Traditional lunch can be arranged in Sighisoara medieval town at Dracula House Restaurant!

5.00This was a great way to visit areas outside Brasov. The van was very comfortable and the scenery on the drive was beautiful, a really great way to travel. Mimi was a fantastic guide and was so open to being flexible with the group. She gave us great information about the area and all the best things to check out, she's a perfect tour guide! I would recommend anyone do this trip, you'll get to see some really beautiful places in a really beautiful country!

5.00MUST GO! I had such a wonderful experience with Alex on this one. I am a savvy traveler and big fan of excursions. There are bad guides, so-so guides and amazing guides. Alex is AMAZING! He had so many interesting stories to share about places we went and beyond. This trip was the last tour on our Romanian trip and we have learnt so much we have not heard on other tours. Both towns are simply beautiful. Very authentic. If ended up being one of my favorite days in Romania.

5.00I joined Bogdan’s tour and had a really great experience. He explained the history in a clear and engaging way, brought a lot of positive energy, and was always open to answering questions throughout the tour (which I appreciated, since I tend to ask quite a few). Overall, it was a very well-organized and enjoyable visit, and it definitely made me interested in coming back to Romania for another guided experience in the future. I would strongly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area.
Perfect tour.

5.00Brilliant tour from Bogdan, picked up at 9am at the Central square. Full of great information and always happy to answer questions and accommodating when requesting to go into areas of the towns. Fully recommend this tour so glad we did it and to visit other parts of Romania away from the city's.

5.00It was an excellent trip, everything was nice, from the car and the trip, to our guide and the overall organisation. We surely recommend this trip if you want a very rich one-day tour.
Lovely tour of Viscri and Sighișoara from Braşov.

5.00Bianca was our guide for the day ( myself and adult son) - she put us at ease straight away. She was informative about everything we drove past, as well as general conversation. She was really interesting showing us around Viscri and Sighișoara. There were a couple of entry fees- Viscri museum in the fort, and the church in Sighișoara , but nominal. She was good company and a safe driver. Her car is comfortable. Highly recommend this tour from Braşov. The pick up and drop off was smooth also. Thanks for a great day Bianca!
