Living in Bucharest for many years, loving the sea and travelling mostly in the mountains. I live in Bucharest since 2013, when I came here to study at the Economics Academy. From the first moment I was fascinated by the beauty and complexity of the city. Bucharest is architecture, culture, art, music, agitation, agony, relaxation, avant-garde, classicism, all in one . . place. Each day I discover new things so that after so many years I am even more enthusiastic. I invite you to share the pleasure of discovering Bucharest and Romania on a magnificent trip. Are you ready? Now I manage a short term rental agency, offering apartments and studios mostly to tourist that visit our town. This is how I start guiding tourists. Most of my guests asked informations about Romania and Bucharest and I'm more than happy to share my knowledge. I prefer one day trips, because it offers a complex mix of incursions in nature, landscapes, history, local culture, civilization, royalty. If you need any details feel free to ask me anytime. See you soon! I have a tourism manager certification and I follow the qualification courses for the guide activity. I studied Academy of Economic Studies and Law University in Bucharest. - I can guide you in English and Italian. - My car can fit up to 2 people comfortably. If your group is bigger don't worry, will rent a van and we will feel comfortable and have fun. Extra fee is applied

Wonderful experience of Romania's main attractions, full day trip from Bucharest
Overview of your Bucharest tour
This is a one-day private trip to the mountains, visiting Peles Castle, Dracula Castle and Brasov Old Town. It's a wonderful trip that will offer you the possibility to "meet" Romanian culture and civilization in a unique way. Located in Sinaia mountain resort, Peles Castle is 3rd major touristic attraction of Romania, as a number of visitors. It was built between 1873 and 1914 by Romanian Royal Family. Nowadays it's used as a national museum offering us the opportunity to admire the creation of the first king of Romania, King Carol I. Peles Castle is really impressive, in many aspects that I invite you to discover. Next to Peles Castle, much older, it's Sinaia Orthodox Monastery. Bran (Dracula) Castle is also part of our tour, the place that inspired Bram Stocker to write his famous story. Now it is the private property of the Royal Family of Habsburg. Last stop will be in Brasov. Can't wait to meet you and take you in this extraordinary trip. See you soon :)

Teresa R.United States
Florin met us on time at our hotel and from then on we enjoyed a wonderful day exploring the surrounding area of Bucharest. During the ride he gave us lots of interesting information about past and current Romania. The time at Peles Castle was great! The beautiful countryside and mountains with snow caps made the ride lovely. Our time at Bran castle was also enjoyable and then having a few hours in Brasov for lunch and strolling the town made a great ending. It was a packed day but so worth it.
Keith T.United Kingdom
Florin was punctual, considerate and very knowledgeable. The trip was 13 hours long due to traffic and sometimes difficult driving conditions, but Florin remained pleasant and positive throughout. It was a great trip.
Your Bucharest tour itinerary
We meet in the morning at your accommodation place. I'm flexible regarding departure time, but not too late because we prefer to spend more time in the mountains. - Drive for 2 hours till first stop at Peles Castle and Sinaia Monastery (inside visits) - Second stop is at Dracula's Castle (inside visit) - Third stop is in Brasov Old Town area (walking) and Black Church exterior visit. Optional you can also enter inside Black Church. In the evening we'll be back in Bucharest. If you have any special requests feel free to contact me anytime.
