About this tour
This call helps plan a walk through Cluj's surviving city walls, comparing the Tailors' Bastion with a few of the smaller towers nearby. Mihai talks through what each site shows and how they link into a single route through the old town. It stays practical rather than describing any one tower in full.
The call opens with a quick description of what someone wants to see, and Mihai shapes the rest of the conversation around that. He shares a map on screen and sends a short list of the towers afterward.
This suits anyone planning a visit and wanting to choose a route in advance. It also works well booked before the filmed history walk.

- A 30-minute call with a local guide
- Honest tips on where to eat, stay and what to skip
- A short follow-up note with every place mentioned
Not included

How it works
- Your guide calls the number you give at booking.
- This runs as a call on Google Meet, with a shared map rather than a walk. My camera stays on throughout so it still feels like a real conversation.
