Overview

This isn’t your average tour — it’s a full day of exploring off-the-beaten-path Transylvania with a local guide who loves sharing its secrets. We skip the crowds and head to places most visitors miss: the UNESCO-listed Prejmer Fortress (the best-preserved medieval fortress in Southeast Europe), an underground cave chapel, mountain villages, and a chalet with coffee and epic views. You’ll hear local stories, enjoy a laid-back pace, and travel in a small group (max 8) for a more personal experience. I’m not just your guide — I’m your storyteller, driver, and local connection. Groups of 3+ also get a free Brașov Old Town walk with food tips and hidden gems. You’ll travel in a comfortable vehicle with A/C, take in fresh mountain air, taste traditional food, and get a real feel for Romanian life. Perfect for curious travellers who want more than just photos.
