About Heide

Transylvanian Saxon, tour guide, host.

Heide Göddert

I'm Heide Göddert, and I founded Heide Reisen – a small, specialised travel agency for private trips through Transylvania and Romania. I was born and raised in Transylvania, near Sibiu (Hermannstadt), and belong to the community of Transylvanian Saxons.

German is my mother tongue, Romania my home – a double bond, in language and culture, that still shapes everything I do.

After emigrating to Germany, I worked in business for many years and learned what really matters in planning, organisation and looking after people – in travel, too. Today I combine that experience with my detailed knowledge of Transylvania.

One thing matters most to me: that you don't come as tourists, but as guests – and leave as friends.

My mission

Experience Romania – don't just visit it

I want you to truly experience Transylvania and Romania: the people, the history, the culture and the landscapes. No off-the-shelf programmes, but personally planned trips where you feel well looked after and get to know the country's diversity from a real, local perspective.

How I work

Personally planned, in good hands on the ground

I plan and organise private day, weekend and three-day trips (without flights), exclusive trips and individual city walks. The focus is on Transylvania – complemented by selected places in Romania that belong culturally and thematically.

Every trip is carried out with a carefully chosen network of German-speaking guides, drivers and local partners. I take care of planning, coordination and quality myself – from your first enquiry to your return.
