Overview

Step right into the land of lore in Transylvania. Explore its stony castles, and the medieval fortresses safely tucked away in the hillside. Peek beyond the myth and you will find a place whose fascinating history has shaped it to its core. Trace the past from the Saxon heritage left behind, to the traditions still alive in the villages, all of it wrapped up in a breath-taking mountain scenery.

We meet you at the Airport in Bucharest and take you to your Hotel. We’ll choose for this year a smaller hotel, not so crowded.

After you accommodate, we’ll have a walking tour in Bucharest for 3-4 hours to mark the main sites of the Capital. You learn about Bucharest and Romania’s history. A special part of the walking tour in Bucharest will be related on the communist past of Romania and how it affected our country and city. So, you’ll enjoy a communist tour of Bucharest as well.
