Some of our friends’ reviews:
I could not have asked for anything more! I was sad to leave at the end and I really could have done it all over again. I went for the Saxon Transylvania tour, for one week, in September – a fantastic time to visit. The scenery was absolutely beautiful and so much more than I could have ever expected – even though I checked out the photos beforehand! Rolling hills with little plum tree treats along the route! The photos simply don’t do it justice. I could describe the area we cycled as an expanse of totally unspoiled countryside, with little pockets of villages every few miles – just lovely.
In no way did this trip feel rushed, pressured or as if we were following a “tour guide”. Mircea just felt like one of the group. He had such a wonderful approach and put everyone at ease. Excellent trip, thoroughly recommended. What are you waiting for? Book now!! – Rosalind, London, UK. See full review here.

- If you really want to escape your daily madness, this is YOUR tour through the Saxon villages: you will receive very warm hospitality, discover fantastic landscapes, e.g. meadows with 500 year old oaks- my absolute favorite , almost untouched huge forests and village life that you don’t find anymore in Western Europe. As a Bavarian, living in Brussels, I had the chance to talk to some old Saxons in their language, including sipping their strong tuica:) and taste old Saxon cake recipes.
In this week I discovered the country in a group of 9 people. We harmonized perfectly, it felt more like having holidays with friends, I still miss their company. Join Cycling Romania as the perfect eco-tourism experience! – Vicky, Brussels, Belgium. See full review here.

- Four hours north of Bucharest, Transylvania is another world, and this, without doubt is the way to explore it. The biking itself is a combination of trail and road routes, the scenery breath taking, and the history we encountered on every turn, quite extraordinary. It wasn’t all history by any means, everywhere along the route we stayed with local people, their hospitality overwhelming, the food delicious. One thing that became abundantly clear to me was that Transylvania will not stay like this for very long, so now’s the time to visit! – Ian, Wales. See full review here.

Hello, I am interested in the Saxon Transylvania trip that starts on Aug 23. I am assuming that the guides (and most of the participants) speak English? Also, do you have an additional charge for someone travelling alone since I didn’t see “single supplement” mentioned? Do you have a minimum or maximum number of participants for your trips, and can you say how many are already signed up for this trip?
Thanks!
Hi Jim,
Thanks for your message.
We will get back to you shortly on your email.
I am interested in this tour (Saxon tour), sept 28 departure. I would like to know a bit more about the terrain and traffic conditions – I am not a very experienced biker. I can do long days, and ascents (I did a cycling trip in India which involves around 70 – 90 km a day, and a 2000 meter ascent in one day), but I cannot do mountain biking and nervous around heavy traffic, so would like to get your advice on what to expect for this trip.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
interested in suggestions to 5 day cycling holiday in september, either with a group or only us
we are a couple from israel
thanks

HI Mircea, I’ve found the answer to my previous question! the Transylvania tour in July looks very good. I’ll be travelling by train from London, is there a station at Sigisoara?
Hi Carolyn. Thank you for your messages. There is a train station in Sighisoara, yes. I am replying further on the email.
