Excellent presentation style and very knowledgeable. I wish, I had more time. We went over a lots of history and interesting facts about the area.
Aurelian had good knowledge about the history of his city and it was interesting to do this tour with him.
Catalin was a terrific guide. A lot of information delivered in an understandable way with an undercurrent of humor. I would heartily recommend this tour.
Catalin is very professional He explains the information in an interesting way and he has an endless knowledge My wife and I enjoyed the tour very much and can't recommended it enough Michael.
I recently had the pleasure of joining Aurelian's free walking tour in Sibiu with my partner and another couple who are our close friends, and I cannot recommend this experience enough. From the moment we met, Aurelian's genuine passion for his hometown was evident. He began by asking about our backgrounds and interests, thoughtfully tailoring the tour to our specific group. Throughout our time together, he checked in about our comfort with both the information flow and walking pace, always ready to adjust for us. What followed was an absolutely captivating 1.5-hour journey through Sibiu that somehow felt both longer (in the best possible way) and shorter at the same time. The tour was incredibly information-rich, yet everything was presented in such an engaging, digestible manner that we never felt overwhelmed. Aurelian transformed what could have been a standard city tour into a fascinating history lesson about not just Sibiu but Romania as a whole. Having grown up in Sibiu, where his family still lives, and studied in Cluj-Napoca, Aurelian brought both local insights and broader perspectives to his storytelling. His knowledge is extensive and his enthusiasm infectious - it felt like exploring with a passionate friend rather than following a guide. We laughed, asked questions, and enjoyed genuine conversation throughout. He even shared practical advice (like warning us about certain ice cream vendors with scales where he once accidentally paid the equivalent of €10!), which reflected his honest desire to ensure visitors have a positive experience. What truly sets Aurelian apart, though, is his extraordinary kindness. When he learned that our website booking had shown his tour as "fully booked" rather than "cancelled" on his day off, he actually offered to conduct a tour for us the next day. We were deeply touched by this gesture, especially knowing it was his usual rest day. In another instance of remarkable compassion, when I accidentally gave him a much larger tip for our group than intended (mixing up my partner's euros with our Romanian leu - a significant issue as most of our group were students or unemployed), Aurelian actually drove back to return the difference 15 minutes after we'd parted ways. He absolutely could have kept it and been justified in doing so, but his integrity and empathy spoke volumes about his character. I understand Aurelian is studying for his professional certification to eventually offer paid tours. In my opinion, his knowledge, passion and professionalism already warrant charging. Until then, if you're lucky enough to join his free tour, you're in for a truly special experience. Our time with Aurelian was undoubtedly a highlight of our visit to Sibiu, and I would gladly recommend his guided tour to anyone visiting Sibiu. *Note: I registered for his tour on a different date as a single person so I could leave this review, but did not actually attend that session. Our actual tour as a group of 4 took place on April 8th, 2025.*
Absolutely recommendable. It was super
Aurelian is great! We had a blast and learned a ton; what an interesting history and lovely conversation .
We really enjoyed our tour around Sibiu! Aurelian took us around the main sights and told us a lot about the history of the city. Would recommend it to anyone coming to Sibiu!
Informative, responsive and well-researched guiding in Sibiu. Catalin was great!
I really enjoyed the tour. It was educational & interesting.
Our tour with Catalin was fantastic!! Wish we had done it at the start of our trip to Romania - we learned so much about Romania'a history, culture, language, etc etc! The route we took was interesting and manageable with our 3 kids. Catalin was able to answer all our questions and we appreciated his consideration of our children (certain details left out). It was all so interesting and such a great way to explore and get to know Sibiu!! Highly recommend.
War eine sehr schöne Nachmittags Tour bei bestem Wetter tollen Erklärungen und schöne Route mit netten Leuten
Very friendly and well informed guide who provided various interesting insights into political, historical and societal aspects of Rumania and especially Sibiu. He encouraged us to ask questions and could answer them all :) All in all a really recommendable and enjoyable tour!
Excellent and informative tour. Catalin was a great tour guide.
Very Knowlegable and Interesting Tour
Fue de los mejores tours que he hecho en mi vida. Catalin fue encantador, nos dio información de todo tipo cubriendo todos nuestros intereses de forma entretenida. Fue un tour abierto al debate, las dudas, la opinión. Desde la cercanía nos dio a conocer más de su ciudad y su cultura desde el punto de vista de una persona local. Fue muy enriquecedor para nosotros y quedamos encantados con el trato y la confianza en la que nos sentimos.
Catalin was super nice and knows a lot of interesting curiosities about not only Sibiu, but about Romanian history and culture. The tour was perfect to start to discover this beautiful gem. He also suggested us some nice spot for breakfast and dinner. Super recommended!!
