    Cluj-Napoca to Sighisoara

    A guide meets you in Cluj-Napoca for the drive out to Turda Salt Mines, where you'll walk through the impressive underground halls and get a sense of what mining operations looked like centuries ago. After lunch, you head to Sighisoara Citadel, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the birthplace of Vlad the Impaler, giving you time to wander the medieval streets and see the historic structures. Once evening rolls around, you'll head to a Halloween Party with traditional Romanian food, a folk show with live performers, and themed activities that keep going well into the night.

    I went searching for Dracula. Along the way, I found a beautiful country, warm people, and new friends. Our guide was terrific, teaching history along the way. It was a fun adventure. As to whether or not I found Dracula, I can only say, “Mayyyybe.”

    Tour was excellent! Very few deviations from schedule. Recommend that provided dinners include wider choices. Also, better use of limited time for exploring Transylvania might start in Cluj-Napoca (where there is an international airport), rather than way south in Bucharest.
