Sibiu Private Tours |

A mixture of Transylvanian, German, Hungarian, Slovak and Ukranian influence has left a unique impression on the Romanian city of Sibiu (also known as Hermannstadt). The vibrant walled city, full of theatres, museums and historical monuments, was designated a European "Capital of Culture" in 2007. Take a private Sibiu tour and uncover the city's historical and cultural riches with a friendly local guide.
You may wish to start your day with a climb up the 14th century Council Tower for views of the Old City below. Your guide will take you for an enlightening walk through the meandering streets of Old Town, perhaps pausing for a coffee at one of Sibiu's sidewalk cafes. Just outside the city is the fascinating open-air Museum of Folk Civilization - well worth a visit. Your guide will suggest excellent places to enjoy the regional cuisine once your tour is finished.
Whatever your travel interests, your guide can plan for them on your private Sibiu tour. |

| Tour Guide Legal Requirements |
If the nature of the tour is that the guide is 'interpreting the cultural and natural heritage of an area', Romania requires the guide have a guiding license. A person giving tours such as the 'best nightlife spots', 'shopping and fashion tour' or 'restaurant tour' for example, does not require a license. This definition follows the European standard for tour guiding (CEN).
Licensed Tourist Guides are the only professionals permitted to conduct tours in all sites and museums within a city. Licensed guides are required in those areas where the local authorities state that one of them is mandatory. There are freelance guides which have a small business and conduct tours/ guide visitors without having a license. This is not illegal as long as they are registered with the city/county tax department.
To become a Licensed Tourist Guide, candidates must pass an examination given by the local public tourist authorities. report error
All ToursByLocals guides have met our ToursByLocals Guide Requirements which includes warranting that they can legally give the tours they offer. |
