5.City Tour Sighisoara Legends & Landmarks A Walk Through Time

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 11 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $46Top rated

Walk Sighișoara’s UNESCO-listed citadel with an English-speaking guide such as Peter, Petre, or Charles. Expect a careful look at towers, guild history, Dracula’s birthplace, the Covered Staircase, Church on the Hill, and lesser-seen details, with church access and photo fees handled separately.

“Terrific walking tour to explore the old town. You can explore on your own but you miss so much. Everything is in the details. We learned so much from our guide Peter that we would have never discovered on our own. He shares historical pictures and pointed out features to go with the stories. His knowledge of art, religion, history, politics and more was unmatched. Highly reccomended.”
