We visited both historical villages. The trip was very enjoyable and informative. The historical landmarks definitely worth visiting if you are interested in history of Transylvania. Highly recommended if you want to spend sometime outside the city and view beautiful nature along with local culture and traditions.

Peter was a very interesting and informative guide. We learnt about the fortified churches and changes t Romanian village life.

Knowledgeable, pleasant tour guide - we really enjoyed it!
