Sibiu Day Trip from Brasov

The Orthodox Church was very beautiful, and the other sites were interesting. Our guide did a great job of telling us about the sites and about The history of the area.

Our driver, Florian was prompt, knowledgeable, and friendly. Plus, he was super flexible. He agreed to alter our plans for the day to add an extra side trip! We did pay a little extra but it was a good decision. His English was excellent and he was a good teacher. All-in-all a very good day.

Good off the beaten path tour. Countryside and scenic beauty were most enjoyable. Our guide, Florin, was excellent! It was a great day.

Florin is a knowledgeable guide and an excellent driver. We loved the itinerary that included Monastery/Early Christians underground church, Fagaras Citadel and the Cistercian Abbey on the way to Sibiu.

I was looking to go out on my own, but an ad suggested this tour and it was awesome! Got to experince the countryside of Transylvania and learn about its history. Went to some areas you wouldn’t find as a tourist. Duration was very flexible as it depends on how long you want to spend in those areas, and also gives you the chance to do other things you may find along the way. 100% recommend!

My wife & I really enjoyed the day trip to Sibiu with Florin. He was punctual, courteous, very pleasant & most importantly a very safe driver. He was also kind enough to make a few stops on the way, just so that we could take a couple of photos of the beautiful Mountain scenery & gorgeous landscapes.

Florin also took us to a lovely Monastery/Church on the way to Sibiu. Very peaceful & tranquil & well maintained. Worth visiting.

We also visited a local Romanian house, which had a giant water wheel, apparently the only remaining one from that era & that too in working condition. The owner was very charming & nice. The house also had a very interesting functional mini flour mill set up with various kinds of grains on display, along with various equipment & tools used by the family's previous generations.

Sibiu was a lovely little town, very lively, since it was the weekend. We happened to be there on the day when there was a local marathon being organised. Lovely to see families having a good time & enjoying themselves, especially the children.

We also enjoyed exploring the hidden streets, back alleys, the public park & especially the local food market, which had numerous stalls selling various kinds of locally grown produce & home made food items.

I did end up buying couple of jars of delicious Romanian honey for friends & family. I highly recommend everyone should definitely try the local honey & the sheep cheese.

Overall a great experience & worthwhile day trip to Sibiu & most importantly we were extremely pleased to have Florin as our guide.

Hope my fellow TAs & their families get an opportunity to experience the true beauty of Romania, especially the town of Brasov & the nearby locations & the fairytale Romanian villages like Magura, etc.

Florin was absolutely fantastic! He certainly knows his job and had endless local knowledge. He was so informative and we found his tour amazing!

This is definitely worth doing if you are looking to go off the beaten track and see the real Romania!!

Do not miss this tour, you'll regret it! Thank you Florin! All the best, Kate and Steve (Ireland)

We are SO glad we found Florin! His tour from Brasov to Sibiu was superb. We particularly liked that we got off the beaten path and saw more of the "Real Romania.". We considered modifying the intinerary to make more time for Sibiu but in fact are pleased we stayed with his plans. The Sinca Veche Monastery is a must, and we loved the ruined abbey at Carta. The Ohaba water mill was quaint, and the Fagaras Fortress worth a visit.

Many overseas visitors will want to know how Florin's English and driving are. He is highly conversant in English but occasionally needs to ask clarification. His tour was easy to understand and he is very knowledgeable. Language was never a barrier He is a careful driver, too, so that lets you focus on the tour.

I got Florin from Tours By Locals, but he also does tours for Viator. I found him highly effective, cordial and knowledgeable, and I recommend him wholeheartedly and without reservation.

We had a great time with Florine. Lots of fun and he knows where to go avoid traffic jams so we had more to visit cool places

My husband and I had an amazing day today visiting Sibiu as well as an underground monastery, a family business where they make gorgeous carpets, the ruins of a Cistercian abbey and the medieval town of Sibiu. Florin is a great guide. He is very friendly, interesting and informative. The tour was very relaxed and focused around our interests. As you can tell from the itinerary I described, we got to see some very interesting places not visited often by tourists that we would have never found on our own. My favorite parts were climbing the Council Tower in Sibiu and the Cistercian abbey. I highly recommend this tour!
