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

We had a wonderful time with Dan! He was fun and knowable and he allowed us to change the tour to fit our needs. I would highly recommend him for any of your tours in Romania!

What a fantastic day! Dan was absolutely wonderful. He modified the program so that we could do something that was so important to us. The conversation never lagged and the information he provided added greatly to our experience. Thank you/va mulțumim Dan!

Dan was terrific. As a Romanian historian, he was fascinating to listen to and he readily answered all our questions. The countryside was beautiful and he took us to great venues and let us take our time. His good nature in times of traffic and bad weather (and we had plenty of both) overshadowed all travel difficulties. I have had many Tours tours and this was one of the best. You will enjoy your time with him.
