You will be happy for choosing Romania as your next place to visit and I can help you to make the most of it! My name is Dan, I am 34 and I was born in Timisoara, came to Bucharest when I was seven, but my family originates from all around Romania. With an authentic passion for history (my first book ever read when I learned to do that was a history book), participating in national history contests in high-school and with history University studies, I am enthusiastic in sharing my knowledge with my guests. I started doing private tours with guests from all over the world when I was 20 (and never stopped since then), while I was still studying. A Master's degree in Tourism came naturally and now I manage a 4 star hotel in Bucharest, but doing private tours is still the thing I enjoy the most! That and also travelling myself, trying to visit a new destination every year! As you should do also! The Danube's last stint in Europe, surrounding the Carpathian Mountains and forming shores at the Black Sea; split between Europe's greatest Empires throughout history, Romania is a special place, somewhere between east and west, it has many things to offer if you know where to look and I can help you do just that. Let's discover it together! Bachelor degree in History from the University of Bucharest Master's degree in Tourism from the Economical Studies Academy National tourism guide certified by the Ministry of Tourism in Romania Sommelier certified by the Ministry of Work in Romania

Overview of your Bucharest tour

Do you want to find out about the legend of Dracula but also learn about the real historical figure behind it from a historian guide (that's me)? Enjoy a private and comfortable day trip from Bucharest to one of the most famous castles in Romania: The Bran "Dracula" Castle! Find out about how the medieval border guarding castle from the 14th century turned into the residence of one of the most beloved queens of Europe: Maria of Romania and what happened to it during the communist times and after the revolution in 1989, everything rapped around the Dracula legend. Long-time associated with the Dracula Legend, this medieval landmark of Transylvania is a must-see and so are the other attractions that are part of the trip: The Peles Palace - the official summer residence of the Romanian Royal Family, Sinaia Monastery - a 17th century Christian Orthodox establishment and Brasov city - one of the most beautiful cities in Transylvania. The best way to get from Bucharest to Bran Castle!

He was awesome! The tour was just my mom and I and any questions we had he was able to answer. His car was clean and the ride was smooth. We asked about going on a slight detour so we could see the castle the show Wednesday was first filmed - we just wanted to walk around for a minute - and it was no problem. All the places he brought us to were gorgeous. I would recommend this tour in a heart beat.
