Claudiu and Romeo were good, honest people that can be trusted. They are knowledgeable on local history and information. They pivoted as best they could due to a flight delay and bad traffic accidents. Very trustworthy and personable!

I am in the tourism business since 1997 when I contributed to one of the main projects promoting Romania as a cultural tourist destination. Since 2004, I am running CT&T which provides private and tailor made cultural tours in Romania for individuals and for small groups as well. My expertise in the organization of cultural tours (private guided tours) has been acknowledged by tourists from all over the world and authors of widely read guidebooks like the Lonely Planet, Fodor's, Frommers, Routard, Michelin or Bucharest in Your Pocket. I'm ready to meet all your demands that address heritage tourism in Romania and to adjust my programs to reach the highest levels of customer satisfaction. I provide quality services, proven by the reviews and letters of many satisfied visitors who fell in love with Romania after coming on tours I have helped organize. Come as a tourist, leave as a friend! Romanian Ministry of Tourism License # 3303 Tour Guide License #5307

A City of Contrasts Through Time, Past and Present in Bucharest Architecture, General city tour
Overview of your Bucharest tour
This tour gives you an overall view of Bucharest, the capital of Romania, including the most relevant sites in the city, with the support of an experienced local tour guide - that would be me, in a comfortable minivan. I was running this tour for a long time and for visitors from all over the world. So, I will feel so lucky to share with you everything I learned and love about this town. The tour will be a good introduction to the city's history, architecture and daily life for a few hours. Discovering and imagining the city from medieval and modern times, to the Royalty and Communism will complete your visit in the town. We will drive through the city center and drop off at the main sites or to the one you have a particular interest in. We will stop taking pictures at the most interesting sites. A coffee and a homemade pie or a local pastry in the old town will make your day. For the rest of your stay, I will be happy to recommend you other sites you maybe are interested in.

Cant say enough about Claudio. Excellent tour took us to places and sites we never would have found. He customized a tour to exactly what we wanted. Would highly recommend using his service
Barbara G.United States
Although there was a slight miscommunication on our meeting place…everything went very smooth and Claudiu was very knowledgeable of the history, buildings, statues, locations, etc. His mini van was very comfortable and he was a good driver.
