Travel from Brasov with an English-speaking guide such as Charlie, Dan, or Tiberiu to Viscri’s fortified church, medieval Sighisoara, and Rupea Fortress. You’ll have guided context, free time for lunch, and a maximum group size of eight, with entrance fees extra.

“The whole trip was fantastic! I was lucky enough to have my tour guide Charlie to myself and was able to ask him all sorts of questions about life in Romania, the places I had explored on my own as well as about the places we went and saw. We enjoyed a nice little lunch in Sighisoara and some rhubarb cake in Viscri. Honestly, it felt like hanging out with a really knowledgeable old friend! Highly recommend- it was the highlight of my trip to Romania!”
