Day trip in Cluj-Napoca
Overview
Let's plunge into the days of old and discover together how Cluj first appeared, from a small trade-post at the edge of the Roman Empire, all the way up to the emerging metropolis of today. I will guide you through the most iconic streets and the most important monuments and I will tell you the legends and stories behind each of them. Legends involving kings, princes, monks, commoners, stories of assassination, of justice and many more. You will understand the layout of the city centre and I will also show you the best places to have a cold beer or a good ice cream. Join me in this journey!

I suddenly found myself in Cluj and of course, the first thing I wanted to do was a walking tour. Andrei was able to accommodate my schedule on relatively short notice and I am so glad that it worked out! Not only does he really know what he is talking about, he takes delight in his hometown and that shows in how excited he is to share it. He added lots of little interesting facts and tidbits and was able to answer all the questions I had for him - from history to contemporary time, from architecture to archeology, from religion to culture. It was a wonderful tour. I highly recommend!
