Welcome to Romania! Born and raised in Bucharest, I've been a tour designer and tailored experience facilitator for 20+ years in Romania. Tango dancer and taichi practitioner with a penchant for cultural experiences and travel; background of law and project management degree. Not a believer of "package tourism". Always willing to go the extra mile in order to provide the guest with the best possible experience. Love to translate my cultural space or deepen the knowledge of the traveler who is curious to discover more. Off and on the beaten path. . . Passionate about exchange of ideas and world cultures. Virtually undiscovered and at the crossroad of many cultural influences, Bucharest can surprise you with its many facets and complicated landscape. It is definitely worth giving it a try. I will be telling you both the legends and the real facts of, still, Europe's best kept secret. We will be touching the most important spots and the less obvious: the old center with bustling life and auberges, turn of the century palaces, squares and gardens, cemeteries and communist decay. I can take you from late medieval to the recent history of my hometown, explain the architectural landscape and familiarize you with the local habits and cuisine. I am ready to customize according to your expectations and interests. If you would like further details, please get in touch!

Overview of your Bucharest tour

Bucharest has a lot to offer but you will be surprised to discover the completely different vibe of the surrounding counties. Pristine nature, winding roads; find out the whys and the whens from the middle ages to the 19th century glory days. We start the morning to Sinaia, summer residence of the Romanian kings, with me as your driver & guide. Hear the happy stories, the dramatic end of monarchy in Romania, see the rich interior decorations. Hop back on and head to Bran castle for lunch in its shadow or at local typical mansion. Presentation of its 650 year old history and of its famous owners, reach the inner courtyard by its specially designed elevator, enjoy the stories from inside the castle. It has 3 levels, we will proceed according to your capabilities. Afternoon-drive to Brasov, the emblematic town of Saxon Transylvania & light walk through its main square&historic center. There are no steps to climb, no uphills to take. Drive to Bucharest and drop off at hotel.

Andrei Razvan was on time, flexible, had great ideas, a generous heart, a wealth of knowledge, a great sense of humor, a true grasp of history and culture—-overall, one of the best guides we have ever used. We would use him again and would recommend him hardly to anyone going to Romania.

Razvan is a fantastic tour guide. He is extremely knowledgeable and personable. And his English is perfect -- we couldn't believe he is Romanian! We thoroughly enjoyed our day at the Peres and Bran Castles as well as the tour of the old town of Brasov. Razvan goes above and beyond his job as a tour guide with personal stories of life in Romania. We highly recommend him and this tour. We were with him for 13 hours that day and enjoyed every second.
