Viscri Fortified Church
After I pick you up from your hotel in Brasov, we'll drive for about an hour and a half to Viscri while I introduce you to the beginnings of Romanian history. The first visit is to Viscri, a charming village located remotely in a countryside area of Transylvania. It was originally established by the Székelys, Transylvania’s earliest settlers, and later saw an influx of Saxon colonists in the 12th and 13th centuries. The village is home to the iconic Viscri Fortified Church, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and one of the best-known in Romania.

Cetatea Rupea
On our way back from Sighisoara we will stop for Rupea Fortress. Even tho this is not a UNESCO sight like the other two that we just visited, is worth your while. This gem was constructed by the Transylvanian Saxons and documented as early as 1324, Rupea Fortress stands proudly on a 120-meter-high basalt cliff to the west of Rupea town. This medieval stronghold held significant strategic importance in the 14th century, serving as a vital nexus connecting Transylvania, Moldavia, and Wallachia. From Rupea Fortress we'll drive back for about an hour and we'll conclude this tour back at your hotel in Brasov.

A Trip Through History—with a Few Literal Trips Along the Way
Adrian was an excellent guide—friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and a pleasure to spend time with. I learned so much about medieval Transylvania, and his explanations brought the history to life. He went beyond dates and facts, helping me understand the stories behind the places we visited and how the region’s past shaped what we see today. His enthusiasm made the history fascinating and easy to follow. I enjoyed my tour so much that I booked a second one with him, which included a hike! Both were highlights of my trip. I highly recommend Adrian to anyone who wants to explore Transylvania and gain a deeper appreciation of its history.
