Romania Private Tours |
|
'We are in Transylvania…Our ways are not your ways, and there shall be to you many strange things.' So spoke Bram Stoker's Dracula, whose lore continues to be one of Romania's star attractions 500 years after Vlad the Impaler's death. But don't limit yourself to chasing vampires - take a Romania tour with a local guide and experience the customs, color, traditions and daily life of this beautiful Eastern European country.
See the enchanting medieval towns of Braşov, Sighişoara and Sibiu, with their rich Saxon history, cobbled streets and fortified walls. Visit enchanting Maramures, Europe's last bastion of peasant culture. Travelling with your guide around the bucolic villages of this southern province, you will truly feel you have stepped back in time to a land of horse drawn carts, traditional music and rural life.
Whether you seek Bucharest's lively urban scene or a hike through the Carpathian Mountains, your local guide is eager to customize a Romania Tour just for you. |

| 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. |
