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

I will be taking you to see the places and tell you the stories that have marked the darkest period in Romania's history. Where it all began and the inevitable disaster that ended it. Hear the brief of 100 years of Communism in half a day. We start downtown, with the birthplace of the communist party; how it all began and the Soviet connections. We continue on to University square and the violent night that changed Romania's recent history and geopolitical destiny. See the graffiti. Reach the Revolution square with outside view of the Central Committee of the Communist Party; here you find out about the years of the dictatorship, from the Soviet occupation to the inevitable disaster that ended it; the main characters and the causes for revolt. Pass by the Congress hall. Quick subway ride to see the ruins of the haunting Communist history museum. End the tour in the Utopian administrative center of 1980s with outside view of the Parliament Palace. A tour flexible & customizable to your preferences.
