Emanuel gives a visitor a complete experience by bringing history alive as
he points out places of interest. We learned much during our tour of Sighisoara
and also on the road to Brasov as he drove us to our next stop.
Emanuel is a knowledgeable, most pleasant, and entertaining guide. We hope to
see him again in the not too distant future.

I had to special clients with me and I wanted to have a really unique experience in Sighisoara. I signed up for a private cooking class. Emanuel and his wife Klara invited us into their homes like friends. We talked about life in Romania, family and conversations that you don't always have with tour guides. We also got some good history and interesting tidbits about Transylvania all while trying schnapps and learning to cook a goulash-type stew. We cooked outside on an open fire and since it was a cold day it fit perfectly. We all had a wonderful time and I would recommend that travelers who want more than a Dracula story while in Transylvania should choose an experience like this.

We just finished five days with Emanuel. He is without doubt the best tour guide we have had throughout out travels over the last 30 years. He is highly intelligent, personable and very passionate about Transylvania and generous and accommodating with his clients. We give him our highest recommendation. Bravo!

We were graciously greeted by Emanuel at our hotel in Sighisoara .He was with us for 21/2 days taking us to the attractions of the area. He was very knowledgeable with many personal stories to make the tour that much more interesting. I would highly recommend him to anyone visiting the area.

Takes a few hours to walk around this old fortress. Each entrance is unique. We also visited a wine cellar. There are plenty restaurants and places to stay; but we chose something outside instead.
One thing I dislike is cars inside the fortress.
