  • Meet your tour guide upon arrival and begin your guided tour of the following attractions.

    • Cozia Monastery

      Why should you travel to Romania? Only when you take a tour of the Romanian monasteries and reach Cozia Monastery will you understand why thousands of tourists are eager to see it. Guarded for more than 600 years, with the Olt River on one side and Mount Cozia on the other, the fortified walls of this ancient monastery once protected the area from invaders and seem to encircle a true Garden of Eden, full of mystery and mythical beauty.

    • Turnu Monastery

      The next stop on your private day trip is sure to amaze you. Even if you are not especially interested in the history of the Roman Empire, it would be a shame to visit Romania without seeing some of its most beautiful monasteries. One of them is Turnu Monastery, a true gem hidden in Vâlcea County. The name of Turnu Monastery, an important tourist attraction built near Cozia Monastery, comes from the tower on "Teofil's Peak," constructed by the Roman legions of the Arutela castra during the 2nd century, as "turn" means tower.

    • Sibiu Old City Centre

      The historical centre of Sibiu, and the town itself, are among the most visited tourist attractions in Romania because they cater to every taste and offer a wonderful travel experience, even for the pickiest visitors. If you love authentic cultural experiences, whether you are more romantic or more adventurous, you will find everything you need to relax and enjoy yourself, leave the stress of everyday life behind, and have a fun and memorable trip with your private Sibiu tour guide. The beauty of this old citadel, which has received record-breaking recognition, comes from its architecture, the arrangement of its streets, its cultural and artistic heritage, and its beautiful natural scenery, as the town is flanked on two sides by the Făgăraș and Lotru mountains.

    • Sibiu Evangelical Cathedral

      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, then you should visit the Sibiu Evangelical Cathedral, an important historical monument, as part of your one-day tour of this citadel town. To reach this viewpoint, which measures 74 meters in total, you must climb 192 steps leading up to the four smaller towers. From here, you will enjoy a great view of Sibiu and the chance to take truly memorable photos.
