Magical five days mostly in Saxon Transylvania, visiting beautiful fortified churches, castles and driving through the summer countryside counting storks in the fields and on practically every chimney. The bear sanctuary in Zarnesti was one of the highlights, as was stunning Peles castle and the medieval town of Sighisoara. A bit intense as we had to pick up and drive each day, but our guide Bogdan was a true gem, patient, flexible, and wonderful company. Would have liked more time in nature but that would be a different tour entirely. Just note that entrance fees to the sights are not included and they add up but it's a pleasure donating to the restoration efforts.Show more

Dear Farimah, Thank you so much for your kind and detailed review! I am delighted to hear that your five days exploring Saxon Transylvania were magical and filled with memorable experiences. It’s wonderful to know that highlights like the bear sanctuary in Zarnesti, Peles Castle, and Sighisoara made such an impression on you. While the daily travel can be a bit intense, we’re glad to hear that Bogdan’s (Bogdan Stinceanu) patience, flexibility, and great company helped make the journey enjoyable. I appreciate your understanding about the entrance fees and your kind perspective on contributing to the restoration efforts—it’s a meaningful way to support the preservation of these incredible sites. Thank you for sharing your experience. I hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon! Warm regards, Bogdan Ghenoiu Tour guide and owner at Transylvania Discovery Tours

Our tour guide was amazing! Bogdan always had great food recommendations and was very knowledgeable of the places we visited. If we asked a question he didn't know the answer to (while rare) he would talk to the locals to find the answer for us. Felt very safe traveling through Romania and it was great to see so many wonderful places. Since the day we started our tour, Peles Castle was closed, Bogdan rearranged some of our visits so we would be able to see it later in the trip. The castle was truly gorgeous and created by talented craftsmen and it would have been a major disappointment to miss. The woodcarvings (and spiral staircase was to die for). And I'm so happy I was able to see them. Also Libearty Sanctuary was great.Show more
