Born in Brașov.
Built for explorers.
We believe the best way to experience Transylvania is with someone who calls it home.
More than a tour.
A local perspective.
Transylvania is not just a destination on a map. It is a place of stories, traditions, mountains, villages and people.
We started Maya Tours because we wanted travelers to experience this part of Romania differently — without rushed schedules, crowded buses or ordinary sightseeing.
Our tours are designed around small groups, local knowledge and the freedom to slow down, ask questions and discover the places beyond the usual postcard views.
Travel differently.
Experience more.
We keep things personal, local and thoughtfully planned so you can experience Transylvania beyond the usual tourist route.
Small by design
Small groups mean more conversation, more flexibility and a more personal experience. No crowded coaches or feeling like just another passenger.
Local knowledge
We know the places beyond the guidebooks — the stories, viewpoints, traditions and little details that make Transylvania memorable.
Honest pricing
What you see is what you get. We keep our pricing clear and explain what's included, so there are no unnecessary surprises along the way.
Your way to explore
Choose a local guide, a private experience or explore independently with one of our multilingual digital audio guides.
Great places.
Great people.
The people behind Maya Tours bring local knowledge, experience and a genuine connection to the landscapes and stories of Transylvania.
