I would like to see the UNESCO villages and fortified church in Transylvania, Romania.
I'm a single senor woman having just disembarked from a Viking Danube cruise. This would be in October 2026.
It would be nice if the guide is also a driver with a car. This would be a 2 or 3 day tour.
I would suggest taking a look at https://sibiutourguide.com/ - Florin is an excellent guide and driver. He led 3 of us on a multi-day tour of Romania, starting in Bucharest a year or so ago. He is very knowledgeable, a very nice person, speaks excellent English, and is a bit of a foodie and found some of the best desserts! I can't recommend him highly enough - I would take a tour with him again in a heartbeat. He can easily design a tour to fit your interests
Hi, cgspaid, me and two other friends hired a tour guide named Teofil (Teo) Ivanciuc who drove us around to various parts of Romania in September and early October, including Maramures, Bucavinoa, and other wonderful places. I would highly recommend Teo. He is from Romania and speaks excellent English. You can tailor the tour to wherever you want to go and however long you like, and he will work with you. He took us to some amazing places. His website is at https://maramurestour.com.
The link below is for a thread that contains links to all three of our trip reports and has a lot of information in there. You will love Romania, as it is a wonderful country! And the fall is a great month to be there.

I know a good private guide. I've used a few times. Send me a PM if you are interested and I will send you her contact info.
We haven’t toured Romania yet, but there are some excellent trip reports here that will give you lots on valuable information about people’s experiences with multi-day tour guides. They really helped us in making a decision,
Thank you everyone for your reply's. I really appreciate your help.
