Two UNESCO Sites, 6 Hours

Two UNESCO Sites, 6 Hours, 6 hours.

Overview

This six-hour day trip from Sibiu packs in two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Fortified Church of Biertan and the medieval town of Sighisoara. MatDan Eco Tours handles the driving in an air-conditioned van or minibus, with an English-speaking driver who offers travel advice along the route. Pickup from your accommodation in Sibiu is included, and the tour description notes a stop at viewpoints en route.

Biertan, with its fortified church, and Sighisoara, the medieval citadel with its Clock Tower, are the two stops at the heart of the day. At Sighisoara you can climb the tower's spiraling staircase for views over the rooftops and streets below. Afterwards there is a full hour of free time, which the listing suggests spending on souvenirs or a coffee or tea at a terrace in the upper town.

The return transfer brings you back to Sibiu in the late afternoon, dropped at your accommodation or another preferred spot in the city. Entry fees and lunch are not covered, so budget for those separately.

Common issues. The listing names several exclusions that catch some travellers out: lunch, personal expenses and entry fees are all paid separately, and the itinerary section on the listing also lists a cable car ride carrying an extra fee. No reviews were available for this specific tour, so there is no traveller feedback yet on pace, group size or guide consistency.
