    Overview

    Saxon Villages within Transylvania date back more than 900 years. Fortified churches, peasant fortresses and castles are those things that you will explore on your 7-Day private guided tour of Transylvania. Here, the ways of life have remained unchanged after hundreds of years. With the help of "Mihai Eminescu Trust Foundation” that functioned under the patronage of King Charles III, many of the traditional houses from the Transylvanian villages were carefully restored and are now ready for you to discover.
