Day 1
Medieval places in Transylvania: Slimnic, Valea Viilor and Sighisoara
Your second day will be very busy, so after your delicious breakfast start your adventure in Transylvania with Slimnic fortress.

Explore them and after that go to Valea Viilor, where you will see the first fortified church in this tour. Here you will find out more about the fortified churches in Transylvania and their important role in the villages. The Valea Viilor church is on the UNESCO heritage sites list.
Your next stop will be in Medias: Medias is a small town and not very touristic, but here you will have a surprise: the old town of this industrial city dates back from hundred years ago and it is very well preserved!

Mickey –
We enjoyed a very well organized and well guided private tour. Florin, our organizer, provided a very nice tour of Bucharest and then transferred us to the care of Bogdan, who guided us on four days of mountain walks and cultural activities in Transylvania. There was an planning error by one of the hotels and Florin worked very quickly to resolve it in a satisfactory way, which is the sign of a good tour company. We saw beautiful landscapes and learned much about Romanian culture, history and tradition. We have traveled all over the world and we highly recommend this company.
