Cozia Monastery
Why you should travel to Romania? Only if you catch a tour of the Romanian monasteries and you reach the Cozia Monastery will you understand why thousands of tourists are eager to see it. Guarded for over 600 years, on one side by Olt river, on the other by mount Cozia, the fortified walls of this ancient monastery that have protected us from invaders in the past seem to encircle the Garden of Eden, a place of mystery and mythical beauty.

If you are a thrill seeker with a zest for culture and history, and you want to impress your friends with a photo taken from a 55-m high tower? If so, you should definitely visit the Sibiu Evangelical Cathedral, an important historical monument, as part of the one-day tour of Sibiu, the citadel town. To reach this point of the tower, which measures 74 meters in total, you have to climb up 192 steps which lead up to the 4 smaller towers. From here, you have a great view of Sibiu and the opportunity for some truly memorable photos.

Piaka Mica
The Square is divided into two parts separated by Ocnei Street, which slopes under the Bridge of Lies towards the Lower Town. The northern and eastern sides of the square follow the contour of the second fortification belt, forming a circular shape. The buildings situated left of Ocnei Street have a concave shape and follow the contour of the first fortification belt, these buildings separating the Small Square from the Huet Square. The buildings existing in the Small Square date from the 14th to the 16th centuries with one exception: they do not include the massive arched portal, characteristic for the Large Square and for Bălcescu Street. The loggia at the ground floor, arched and semi-opened towards the square, with semi-circular arcades sustained by supporting elements is characteristic for the houses situated in the Small Square. The buildings in the Small Square hosted craftsmen workshops and the merchandise was displayed within these spaces.

A pleasant tour to the Cozia Monastery, Turnu Monastery and Sibiu
The tour to Cozia Monastery, Turnu Monastery and Sibiu was a very nice experience. Monasteries are surrounded with greenery and roses and my guide Nicolas showed me the caves near the Turnu Monastery, where hermits once lived. The interior of the monasteries is very beautiful and Nicolas talked to me about the biblical scenes in the frescoes. In Sibiu, we saw the Orthodox Cathedral and climbed the tower of the Lutheran Cathedral, which enabled us to see the panorama of the city. It was a pleasant sunny day, full of greenery and a nice walk in the Old Town of Sibiu. On our way back, we also visited the Cornet Monastery, which was the most beautiful among the monasteries we visited. I recommend Nicolas as a very kind and knowledgeable guide, always ready to add something interesting to the agreed tour.
Response from the operator: Dear, Sanja! Thanks for leaving us such a wonderful review! It was a great tour also for me, it was pleasant with nice conversations! Thanks for your kind words and see you soon for another experience in Romania! Best Regards, Nicolas

Great Trip!
This day trip to Sibiu was one of the best parts of my trip to Romania. Along the way to Sibiu we stopped in Căciulata at the springs along the scenic Olt River, and visited the beautiful Cozia and Turnu Monasteries. Touring around with Nicolas was fun and relaxing. The schedule was in my control so at no point did I feel rushed. Nicolas was accommodating, very knowledgeable about the sites and could answer any questions about Romania. Thank you for the great experience and definitely recommend the trip!
Response from the operator: Dear Grace, Thank you very much for your kind words! You been an excellent companion and it was a pleasure to meet you! I wish you all the best! Nicolas

Sibiu City Tour - Private Day Trip from Bucharest: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bucharest.
How much does Sibiu City Tour - Private Day Trip from Bucharest cost?
+
Prices start at $490 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bucharest usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Sibiu City Tour - Private Day Trip from Bucharest take?
+
Plan for about 12 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bucharest is not rushed.
Is Sibiu City Tour - Private Day Trip from Bucharest worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bucharest, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sibiu City Tour - Private Day Trip from Bucharest?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Sibiu City Tour - Private Day Trip from Bucharest suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sibiu City Tour - Private Day Trip from Bucharest?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bucharest can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bucharest and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sibiu City Tour - Private Day Trip from Bucharest start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bucharest within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bucharest?
+
On Outty we rank every Bucharest experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Real tour of Communism, Bucharest Highlights Walking Tour, Top Gear Road, Small-group max 7 pax with Pick-up, Transfăgărăşan. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bucharest?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bucharest?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
