BUNĂ ZIUA! My name is Dan and I welcome you to Bucharest, Romania. I have been a licensed national guide for the last 15 years, having a wide experience both as tour leader and guide. After simultaneously studying in Bucharest landscape architecture at the prestigious University of Architecture and Urban Planning "Ion Mincu" and tourism at the Specialization School for Tour Guides and Travel Agents "ONT Carpaţi", I traveled the world as a tour leader. After a few years, I decided to settle back home (No place like home!) and focus all my energy on touring Romania and all it has to offer: high profile museums, urban sightseeing, monasteries, castles, virgin landscapes with their unbeaten paths. Now, I'm my country's number one fan! :) and I know for a fact that my enthusiasm is highly contagious, so you will get to love Romania more and more. Just join me! Bucharest is a vibrant city with a unique charm. Its elegant down town boulevards remind us of a glamorous, chic, rich era, the beginning of the 20th century, when the city became known as the "Little Paris". Romania's capital has something to offer for everybody - arts & culture, entertainment, friendly people and great food; all at very reasonable prices. Let me show you the city's most popular attractions and its hidden gems! Besides the passion that I have for my work, I possess excellent knowledge of history and architecture, I'm flexible and outgoing. My services include private and group tours, walking or by car. I will be your driver for the private tours and I insist you message me before booking, so I can confirm my availability and / or customize your itinerary. See you in Bucharest!

Overview of your Bucharest tour

Relax in a 3 day worry-free private tour outside the busy capital city. This is a first time visitor, must-see private tour of Transylvania. It is a fully guided trip to the most famous cities of the Saxon region (Brasov and Sibiu), UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Sighisoara, royal castles and palaces (Bran castle and Peles), fortified churches and monasteries. As I have a strong passion for the heritage/culture and history of this area, I will help you have a full and accurate experience. Transylvania has a rich and diverse cultural background - there are still present more than 5 ethnic communities, each with its specific heritage, architectural style and language. Transylvania is the perfect example of unity in diversity, going on for centuries. Much of that would be seen in the cities I will bring you to. Keep in mind that this itinerary can be customized at the client's request.

Dan was great! He is very knowledgeable and takes time to explain the historical context of all the places visited. We really came away from this tour with a much better grasp of the complicated history of Romania. There’s quite a bit of ground to cover on this tour, but the car is comfortable for 2-3 passengers and Dan is a good driver.

We enjoyed our private tour with Dan. It was informative and an enjoyable experience to see more of Romania and Transylvania with a local who is passionate about the varied architecture in the towns. Dan was accommodating with including the salt mines in our tour which we found amazing. Dan was a safe driver. His car was comfortable and clean. We highly recommend him for your tour.
