”Excellent guide in an amazing country!”

Everything was done at my pace.

Reviewed October 27, 2014 NEW

 

 George is more than a tour guide, he is like traveling with a friend - a very knowledgeable friend who loves to share his knowledge and stories of this incredible country. I am not one to usually hire a guide, except for those times when you just really need a car to see what you want to see. So with that being said I made sure that I was hiring the right guide to show me around the saxon villages in Transylvania. From the first email I could tell that George wasn't like all the other guides...he listened to what I wanted and together we designed my day in the villages. He offered suggestions (like lunch at Mrs. Lucica's, more on that in a minute) but also took into consideration the places I told him I wanted (and didn't want) to visit. He is very intuitive to what people want and I think he can easily adapt to each situation. I really enjoy taking photos, so he brought along his camera and was taking photos too! It was nice not to feel like I had someone standing behind me waiting for me to get the pictures I wanted and feel rushed. Everything was done at my pace.

He took me to the villages I wanted to see, and also threw in some of his favorites like Malancrav - which ended up being one of the highlights of the day...and I would have never known about it (or been able to get to it) without him. But the real highlight was visiting Mrs. Lucica's house! What a wonderful lady and some of the best food I had on my entire trip...and I'm a vegetarian! So that means, she altered the traditional Romanian meals, which are all based on meat, and made a wonderful, and extremely filling lunch that was all vegetarian. But it wasn't just the food that made this visit so memorable, it was Mrs Lucica - and all her cats! I will always remember her warm smile and am so grateful George brought me to meet this wonderful lady in her home and get a real glimpse of traditional Romanian life...and George was there for the entire lunch to help translate, and just enjoy her wonderful company. I even got a tour around their farm after lunch.

If I returned to Romania, and I hope to - I think it really is one of Europe's last hidden gems - I will definitely use George again to get around. Thanks George!

  3. Discover with us the Fortified Churches from Transylvania!

    Without a doubt, Transylvania's treasures are the Fortified Churches. These churches look more like fortresses and were built 8 centuries ago by the german colonists settled in Transylvania. In the 12th century, a germanic population came into what is today Transylvania and started a new life. This part of Europe was often attacked by invaders such as ottomans or tartars and this is why these churches were built with one, two or even three defensive walls around. This is the concept of a Fortified Church: a place where locals took refuge in case of an invasion. [...]
