My favorite part of the tour was definitely Sigishoara, just walking around the enclosure was lovely and the clock tower had great views! Additionally, Catalin went above and beyond after I left my water bottle in his car. He took time from his day off to drop it off at my hostel! His kindness was very much appreciated.”

We walked slowly for 3 hours around the Old Town Sighisoara, engaging in all topics(craftsmanship, architecture, communism, farming practices, literature, relic significance, histories, and education). We visited spots in Old Town a tourist would normally miss, its story came alive with his knowledge. We were here in February, 2025. We hardly noticed the cool weather. What a window into the Transylvanian/Romanian/European history! How lucky this region is to have such an academic. This experience changes our trip. Thank you.”
