Hello, traveler from far away! Glad to see you are planning your trip to Romania! My name is Vlad and would be delighted to introduce you to the secrets of our beautiful country. . . In the last 4 years, I have traveled with hundreds of groups and made thousands of new friends while guiding them through the many wonders Romania has to offer. Contact me, let's plan your trip together and you will become my new friend! Yes, I love my country. I am proud of it and I am sure of the fact that we live in a beautiful place. I want to show you the reasons why I love it. . . and who knows, maybe even make you too fall in love with Romania! I also love my job - I am an authorized Professional Tour Guide in Romania (by the Local Authority for Tourism) - I love meeting new persons, exchanging information about different cultures, I like traveling and - some say - I talk too much (but that's not bad for a tour guide, is it? :) ). I like to speak what's on my mind and I never stick to only offering the "politically correct" information. I want my guests to leave the country with a real general idea of how people live here, which are our daily problems and better informed about certain events in our history. I own a 2015 Volkswagen Sharan, 7-seater MPV. We have done many miles together and "she" is my reliable travel companion :). Even though the Sharan can accommodate up to 7 persons, should you be looking for more comfort, I can arrange renting a larger vehicle (minivan, van, etc. ) especially if your group is of 7 or more adults. I can provide both Private and Group Tours for tourists visiting Romania. I speak fluently English, Spanish, Italian and Turkish. I am passionate about history, geography, traditions and of course, meeting new persons. Besides the tours listed here, we can discuss in detail your trip to Romania, and establish the most interesting itinerary according to your interests and, of course, your available time. If you need further information regarding the services I can provide please don't hesitate to contact me! * Authorized Tour Guide in Romania * Member of International Tourism Association of Professionals (ITAP) * Member of European Tourism Association (ETOA) * Marketing and Foreign Trade Specialist (University degree) * Culture and Civilization Specialist (High School degree) No restrictions but for your available time :).

Overview of your Bucharest tour

Hello, traveler from far away! I'm glad to hear you are interested in visiting our country! I promise you you'll come as a guest and leave as a friend, with unforgettable memories and beautiful photos! Book this tour now and let's explore together some of the secrets of Transylvania! More than just Dracula's Castle! Yes, there's plenty more to discover here! We will visit together 2 beautiful castles and have a stroll in the medieval part of Brasov. We will admire breathtaking landscapes. We will take a sink into the history, geography, traditions but also today's reality. I love my country and I'll make you fall in love with it too! Looking forward to seeing you here! NOTE: Recently, there have been issues with tickets for Peles Castle. I strongly recommend buying them before the tour; they sometimes sell out weeks in advance. Furthermore, even we, tour guides, need an entrance ticket to the castle. I can create a customized tour in case you have special requests or if you are more than 6 persons

Your Bucharest tour itinerary

We have to leave Bucharest pretty early in the morning - 07.30 AM if possible. - We go through Ploiesti for the amazing Prahova Valley, and our first stop is in Sinaia, where we visit Peles Castle. - After having visited the castle and also taken some beautiful pictures, we will leave for Bran, where we'll have lunch and then visit the so-called Dracula's Castle. Please note that there are a lot of stairs and narrow corridors inside Bran. - Then, we finally go to Brasov for a cup of coffee/tea/refreshment and - obviously - a stroll on the streets of the old town. - We are expected to return to Bucharest at around 08. 30 in the evening. Of course, this might depend on traffic and weather conditions. Important notice: Please notice that Peleș Castle can only be visited from Wed to Sun, on Mon and Tue it's closed for cleaning and maintenance. Also please notice that the entrance tickets for the Peleș Castle are limited. You'll have to book them in advance to secure them.
