About this trip
A private four-day tour through Transylvania, starting and finishing in Bucharest, built around the region's fortified churches and medieval castles.
German settlers invited by Hungarian kings built these fortified churches centuries ago to protect their communities from Ottoman raids, and seven are now UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Your guide walks you through that history at each stop rather than just pointing at buildings.
With hotels, transport, meals and a private guide included, it's a straightforward way to see a cluster of sites across 11 locations without organising logistics yourself.
