“We had an amazing 2 day tour with our guide Nicolas. He was a great guide, very friendly and knowledgeable. We covered a lot of ground in 2 days - there were so many beautiful sights to see.

The 90-minute to two-hour walk links eight stops, including the Evangelical Cathedral, the Bridge of Lies, and the Brukenthal National Museum. There is no physical guide, so you can start when it suits you, pause along the way, and continue later.
“Although the app was a little quirky and did not let you jump around, it was a fun activity for the family and learn about the Medieval towers of Sibiu.”

Entrance fees and lunch are extra.
“Our family of five adults enjoyed our day trip to Corvin’s castle and Alba Iulia. Our driver was excellent and the ride very comfortable.

His enthusiasm and charm added to our day and experience. We highly recommend this tour!”

“This was a fantastic tour with a fantastic guide. Florin was one to the best, most knowledgeable, and most thoughtful guides I have ever encountered in my travels from China to Peru. This was a private tour, and that was an excellent choice because we were able to see things at our own pace. We first went to Alba Iulia, an Austrian castle constructed on the ruins of a Roman citadel. Some of the Roman ruins are still visible. The castle is extremely beautiful, with two lovely churches - an orthodox church built in the 20th century of the coronation of KIng Ferdinand and Queen Maria, and a Catholic church…”

Florin has guided many of these tours, but confirm your guide when booking.
“We saw many different things on the way to Sibiu that we didn’t expect. So it was most surprising and very interesting. Our guide Florin stopped first at an underground church, then to an artisanal carpet maker like in the old days and to a very old church and monastery from the 12 century. After that we went to Sibiu where he described the old city. It was a great experience overall.”
