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

Overview of your Bucharest tour

In this tour you will discover one of the most beautiful mountain resorts in Romania. Sinaia is also known as the Pearl of the Carpathian Mountains very much appreciated for the alpine climate, winter sports, amazing mountain views and lovely classic architectural style. During our day, you will experience the traditions in the Romanian Orthodox Church. You may not be interested in traditions, but how about the legend of the monks from Mount Sinai? You will visit one of the finest Castles in the Carpathian Mountains, Peles Castle here we can enjoy my favorite cake and a coffee with an amazing view and fresh alpine air. Feel like Roialty. . . well, you are not too far from them! This will definitely be a relaxing day. I can create a customized tour for you in case you have special requests or if you are more than 4 people and need a larger vehicle.

Most enjoyable day spent with Chris. He was prompt and very knowledgeable about Sinaia and shared a lot of information about the royal family and Romania in general. Highly recommend tour and guide.

We spent a lovely day with Cristi at Peles Castle and Sanai. The day was leisurely, the company was good, the restaurant for lunch was quintessential Bavarian in decor and food. We liked his tour so much that we are booking another day with him while we are in Bucharest.

There just are not enough words and adjectives to describe what a terrific experience we had with our driver/guide,Cristi. He met us at our hotel on time with a smile, bottle water, an immaculate car and thus began our first full day in Romania. He paid attention to all of our needs and requests and went above and beyond to assure that we were comfortable and happy. My husband had hip surgery in mid January and so stairs and walking were a little tricky and we had to ration the activity a bit. Perfect!

Christi speaks English very well and is an excellent driver. He is very knowledgeable about the culture and the significance of historical events. He gave us tons of information about Peles Castle. No one could have done a more complete tour. We enjoyed a delicious lunch before heading back to Bucharest. I hightly recomment using Christi for any tour you take in Romania.

Christi is an outstanding local guide. Our tour was booked on a local holiday when some of the areas to be visited were not open, but his knowledge of the area made it seem as if we had not missed anything. We would definitely book his services again if we visit Bucharest in the future.
