Hello, traveler from far away! Glad to see you are planning your trip to Romania! My name is Vlad and would be delighted to introduce you to the secrets of our beautiful country. . . In the last 4 years, I have traveled with hundreds of groups and made thousands of new friends while guiding them through the many wonders Romania has to offer. Contact me, let's plan your trip together and you will become my new friend! Yes, I love my country. I am proud of it and I am sure of the fact that we live in a beautiful place. I want to show you the reasons why I love it. . . and who knows, maybe even make you too fall in love with Romania! I also love my job - I am an authorized Professional Tour Guide in Romania (by the Local Authority for Tourism) - I love meeting new persons, exchanging information about different cultures, I like traveling and - some say - I talk too much (but that's not bad for a tour guide, is it? :) ). I like to speak what's on my mind and I never stick to only offering the "politically correct" information. I want my guests to leave the country with a real general idea of how people live here, which are our daily problems and better informed about certain events in our history. I own a 2015 Volkswagen Sharan, 7-seater MPV. We have done many miles together and "she" is my reliable travel companion :). Even though the Sharan can accommodate up to 7 persons, should you be looking for more comfort, I can arrange renting a larger vehicle (minivan, van, etc. ) especially if your group is of 7 or more adults. I can provide both Private and Group Tours for tourists visiting Romania. I speak fluently English, Spanish, Italian and Turkish. I am passionate about history, geography, traditions and of course, meeting new persons. Besides the tours listed here, we can discuss in detail your trip to Romania, and establish the most interesting itinerary according to your interests and, of course, your available time. If you need further information regarding the services I can provide please don't hesitate to contact me! * Authorized Tour Guide in Romania * Member of International Tourism Association of Professionals (ITAP) * Member of European Tourism Association (ETOA) * Marketing and Foreign Trade Specialist (University degree) * Culture and Civilization Specialist (High School degree) No restrictions but for your available time :).

Overview of your Bucharest tour

Hello, traveler from far away. . . I'm glad to see you are interested in visiting the fascinating Bucharest. I promise you you'll come as a guest and leave as a friend, with unforgettable memories and beautiful photos! Let's explore together the secrets of this beautiful town. . . I will introduce you to the atmosphere of our country's Capital, we will see all the major landmarks and take a walk in the history of the old city. This is a 4-hour tour though factors like your own interests, available time, or traffic may affect the total duration. We will cover all the "must-see" places in Bucharest and will make stops explaining more in-depth the major landmarks and immortalize the best moments on photos. Then I'll also advise you on what else you can see, which are the restaurants where it's worth trying the delicious local cuisine, etc. Looking forward to seeing you!

The 2nd of two tours with Vlad on our post cruise stay in Bucharest and we would highly recommend both the city tour and Vlad as your guide. The passion for his country and culture shine through and are amplified by a deep knowledge making for an informative and engaging tour. This itinerary provided a good mix of all aspects of Bucharest, tailored to our interests and pace. Highly recommended.

Vlad customized this tour to meet us when we disembarked our river cruiser in Giurgiu near Bucharest. Vlad gave us a great tour of Bucharest for the rest of the day and later dropped us at our hotel. Vlad is an excellent guide who is warm, thoughtful and knowledgeable. Highly recommended. Thanks Vlad for taking such good care of us! River Cruisers - This is a great way to see the City of Bucharest and get to or from the ship!

Vlad is THE BEST. Knowledgeable about history, economics, politics, and sight-seeing savvy. He was ideal for our group of 8 seniors. He arranged a mixed tour of walking and private van, with tricks to save time and get everything possible into one day. We all agreed that he was the best tour guide we had had on our trip, over 6 countries and 2.5 weeks.

I was in Bucharest and wanted to see the city. Vlad was the tour guide and did an incredible job! Due to changes in my schedule, I asked if he could get me a ticket for a tour of the Parliament Building. He did on short notice even though tickets had to be reserved at least 48 hours before. Then it rained! But he took it in stride. We changed the schedule allowing me to see everything I wanted to see and much more! Vlad was professional, knowledgeable and answered all my questions. Best choice I made.

We were very happy with Vlad as a tour guide of Bucharest. Vlad was very knowledgeable about the history, buildings, village museum, communism and other sights of Bucharest. He was on time, a great driver, and a good personality. We would definitely recommend him and hire him again!
