The 14 Best Sighișoara and Saxon Village Tours

14 reviewed

Seven centuries of Saxon settlement left a fortified church in nearly every village between Brașov and Sibiu, and Sighișoara’s citadel is still lived in rather than roped off. These 14 tours pick the ones worth the drive, usually Viscri and Biertan, with departure towns, walking distances and prices.

“Mihal is a very knowledgeable and patient guide. As such, we were able to spend more time at stops worth visiting and skim through those he felt wasn't worth the trip. He is also a good photographer as well. He does hiking trips but unfortunately due to limited time I can't do it ,otherwise I would love to have him again as my guide”

A lovely, small, local company with two guides who are extremely knowledgeable and take the time to expertly teach you about the history of the citadel. Every question asked was answered, detours were made to answer specific questions for guests, and our guide was in no rush and even went over time to ensure we saw everything!! It was also incredibly sweet how all the locals knew each other as we walked around, our guide taking the time to say hello and vice versa. An absolute must if you want a truly in-depth tour…”
