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

Overview of your Bucharest tour

This tour is the best suggestion for visitors who wish to see the most important sights in Transylvania in only two days, accompanied by a professional tour-guide, in a comfortable car. I plan on showing you two of the famous castles in Romania, the Peles Castle, a former royal residence at Sinaia and the Bran Dracula's Castle, three of the best medieval towns in Transylvania: Brasov with its famous Black Church, Sighisoara, one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Europe with its fairy tales streets and a unique charm, and Sibiu, the European Capital of Culture in 2007, all founded by German colonists (Saxons) in the XII-XIII Centuries. Biertan Fortified Church, an UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a medieval architectural treasure hidden by the Transylvanian hills, the place you'll have the experience of daily life in a countryside village. Magnificent Olt River Gorges cutting through the Carpathian Mountains on our driveway back to Bucharest will conclude our tour.

Claudiu was a wonderful guide. We spent two full days with him exploring Transylvania. The whole experience was great

We had a fabulous time with Claudiu on our two day tour. He was very flexible as we had horrible traffic and still managed to see all of our "must see" sights and then some. He also graciously picked up our party from multiple hotels, which wasn't something we had originally planned. We enjoyed hearing his stories about the area and life in Romania as well.

This was a fantastic tour and Claudiu is an OUTSTANDING guide - smart, articulate, personable, helpful, etc. Everything about it was great. We learned so much about Romania and Romanians. Many thanks to Claudiu.

We had exciting 2-days trip in Transylvania, Romania. Claudiu is excellent, very knowledgeable. He is careful and speaks very good English. We felt safe and well throughout the trip. We highly recommend him!

Claudiu is a delightful tour guide with a wealth of knowledge to share. He was adept at adjusting his "script" to fit our physical abilities and our interests. He has been in the business long enough to know how to maneuver to get his guests in and through the sites while balancing the conditions out of his control. We will definitely contact him again if we are back in Romania.

Claudiu was our driver-guide for five days through Romania. He was informative, a careful driver and an excellent companion. He was excited and proud to be showing us his country. We visited the painted monasteries of Bucovina: Voronet, Moldavita and Sucevita, drove through the gorges, visited Sighisoara, Sibiu and the fortified church in Biertan and ended with Bran Castle and Brasov. Rain made his planned visit of Peles not doable. I highly recommend him.
