Sebastian has guided this route, and travelers have valued his flexibility and help with tickets. Entry fees and most meals are extra.

“This was an amazing tour of Transylvania in large part because of our driver/guide, Sebastian! We felt extremely comfortable with Sebi from the beginning and fortunately for us his command of the English language is excellent. Sebi was very flexible concerning time but always managed to get us to all of our desired destinations! He purchased our tickets and enabled us to skip the lines which is a very big thing! Sebi also served as interpreter, photographer and easygoing travel companion. I can't recommend Sebi and this tour too highly! I only wish I could give it a higher rating!! Awesome tour!!!”
