Hello, my name is Cristi. I am 46 years old and I was born and raised in Bucharest, the capital city of Romania and I am proud and hapy to live here. I started working as a courier and then for the past 11 years I have been in the tourism business. I did transfers and private tours in Romania and in the neighbouring Eastern European countries. I have been collaborating with most of the Romanian travel agencies and the river cruises companies that are operating on the Danube. It is a great job, I find it very exciting and rewarding. I get to be the 'ambassador' of my country and I get to meet travelers from all around the world, getting to know different cultures and mentalities. When I am not working my favourite things to do are traveling all over the world, riding motorcycles, cycling, hiking and breeding pigeons. I am a very active person, I love traveling all over the word and I spend a lot of time in the Carpathian Mountains. I am looking forward to meet you and show you my wonderful country! I have a Tourism License from the Romanian Ministry of Tourism and Transportation I am a Program Director / Cruise Manager for an American Company ,on the Danube river . Safe driver with 26 years of experience. I am not allowed to guide inside of the Palace of the Parliament

This is a whole day tour in the Transylvania, where I also like to go in my free time, and I have lots of stories and legends to share with you. The first stop will be in Sinaia, one of the most popular mountain resorts in Romania also called the Pearl of the Carpathians. Here we will visit Peles Castle, our famous Summer Royal Residence considered by many one of the most beautiful castles in Europe. We will also visit the Bran Castle, a 14th century medieval fortress better known as Dracula Castle probably Romania's most famous landmark. After a typical Romanian lunch we continue with a walking tour in the historical center of Brasov known as Kronstadt located in the heart of Transylvania founded by the Saxons some 800 years ago, the architecture is very different than Bucharest having more like a Central European look. I bet you would like to know why this city I called this way!

Christi was an exceptional guide and truly made our Transylvania tour unforgettable. From the moment we set off through the stunning Prahova Valley, he set the tone with a perfectly curated playlist that made the drive both fun and immersive. His knowledge of Romanian history added so much depth to every stop. At Peleș Castle and Sinaia Monastery, he brought the stories behind the architecture and culture to life in a way that felt engaging—not scripted. Our time in Brașov was perfectly paced, giving us just the right amount of freedom to explore the charming old town while still benefiting from his insights. The highlight for many was Bran Castle, where Christi’s context and storytelling made the experience far more meaningful than just walking through on our own. And beyond being a fantastic guide, he was hands-down the best photographer we could have asked for—he knew all the angles, lighting, and spots to capture incredible memories from the trip. If you’re considering a Transylvania tour, don’t hesitate—Christi elevates the entire experience.
Fantastic day with Christi, really knew his stuff and was pointing out different facts and interesting points all day. Mainly though we felt really comfortable with him as he is a really friendly guy. Would definitely recommend.
We had a wonderful time with Cristi. He listened to what we wanted to see and then customized our tour to include what we wanted to see in the time we had available. Cristi is very knowledgeable and personable. We found his sense of humor a bonus. We highly recommend him for touring.
Cristi was terrific. He picked us up exactly on time. His car was clean and comfortable. His English was impeccable, and his knowledge of Romanian history and culture was impressive. Cristi was able to adjust our tour so that we could visit everything we wanted to. Highly recommend.
We are so glad we selected Cristi as our guide for our first visit to Romania. He helped us understand much of its history as well as the current issues in the country. Getting to see some of the well-known sites of the Transylvania region was a highlight of our trip. It's a long day from Bucharest, especially as we were caught up in the Easter Monday traffic, but well worth it. Cristi was flexible with stops as needed and giving us options during the day to make the most of our time. We fell very fortunate that he was available for our dates.
