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!”
Leave Sibiu at 10:00 with a private English or German-speaking guide and air-conditioned car or van. Follow the Transfăgărășan Highway to Bâlea Lake, then visit Cârța Abbey and Avrig Palace. Daniel has guided some departures, with time for photo stops, local history, and a possible waterfall walk.
