4.Exclusive Tour: Corvin Castle, Alba Iulia and traditional villages from Sibiu

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 33 reviews · 6 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $156

Travel from Sibiu to Gothic Corvin Castle, the Roman and Habsburg-era citadel of Alba Iulia, and old villages near the Carpathians. A guide such as Florin or Emanuel handles the driving and history in English, Romanian, or French. Expect 6 to 8 hours, 2 to 3 kilometers of walking, and 100 to 200 castle stairs.

“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…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 30 reviews · 11 to 13 hours (approx.) · from $185

You will climb a church tower, see Sibiu’s famous roof eyes, and visit the Orthodox Cathedral. Castle entry and lunch cost extra.

“Truly one of the most memorable tours I had. Our guide Dan, was a rare gem. A historian by training and once a news presenter, Dan brought Transylvania to live. He wasn't just going through the known facts, but the lesser known as well. Why was Corvin Castle built the way it was, what does the actual historical evidence reveal about murder holes, what was the social dynamics like for the towns in Sibiu back in the day? This is where Dan's knowledge makes this not just a typical tour. Highly recommended!”
