Our first private tour and we were delighted with the experience. The tour was fast-paced, which was fine for us - be ready at 8 am. We saw so much more than if we would have tried it on our own.

Gabriel was our guide and drove us on the day seeing both Bran and Peles castles. He was on time collecting us from our hotel and drove us safely to the castles. On the way we stopped off at a lovely restaurant that he recommended for lunch. He was a great guide, there with us all the time to answer any questions we had and take photos of our group. Even though we were over our time schedule with Gabriel, he even took us to the town where the Black Church was, so that we could see it. We had a great day, thank you Gabriel.

We went on the Hidden Stories of the Seven Towers tour. I bought the tour through the Questo app and invited the three people I was travelling with to join, so it was exceptional value for 4. This app really gets you to take a good look at your surroundings, something that can be challenging to do when you are trying to keep up with a group. The clues are not so challenging that they take away the fun and leave you frustrated and the information given at each stop is enough to keep your interest without being overly long and boring. This is not for someone who wants an in-depth tour about the history of Sibiu, but if you want to get a feel for the city and have some fun you won't get a much better tour than this.
