Clay, Cobblestones and the Transfăgărășan: Three Days of Romanian Artisanship from Bucharest to Sibiu.
This three-day private tour traces a thread through Romania’s craft traditions and medieval towns: hands-on pottery and ceramics workshops in Horezu, visits to UNESCO and historic sites, a home-hosted village meal in Marginimea Sibiului, and the high alpine sweep of the Transfăgărășan before returning to Bucharest. It is designed to connect travelers directly with local artisans, traditional architecture and regional cuisine.
