Meet Toni – your private tour guide in Romania Hello! I'm Toni, a licensed English-speaking tour guide, born and raised in Bucharest. With many years of experience and a passion for sharing Romania’s rich culture and stories, I create private, tailor-made tours that are personal, flexible, and unforgettable. Bucharest, my hometown, is where many of my tours begin. From grand boulevards and communist-era landmarks to hidden churches, vibrant neighborhoods, and mouthwatering local cuisine—this city is full of surprises. Whether you're interested in a city tour through Bucharest’s history, a deep dive into its communist past, a delicious food experience, or a curated local wine tasting, I’ll help you explore the city through a local’s eyes. Beyond the capital, Romania unfolds with endless beauty—from the fairytale castles of Transylvania to the traditional Saxon villages and fortifications, UNESCO painted monasteries, the majestic Carpathian Mountains, and the untouched wilderness of the Danube Delta. My city tours or multi-days tours are designed around your interests, not a fixed itinerary. I provide transportation in comfortable, air-conditioned vehicles (sedan or minivan), so you can travel at ease and in style. Over the years, I’ve built strong connections with trusted hotels, restaurants, and cultural sites, and I’m happy to share my best recommendations with you. I also offer travel advice for anyone planning a visit—just ask and I’ll help you find what fits your style. Let’s turn your trip to Romania into a truly memorable adventure. I can’t wait to welcome you! Best regards, Toni Crafting Memorable Journeys Through Romania Licensed national Tour Guide. Cambridge accreditation - English speaking in Tourism and Hospitality.

Toni was outstanding. Very knowledgeable about the three monasteries and their histories. Also gave us a good overview of Bucharest itself. At the last one (Țigănești), he spoke with the nuns there and they graciously allowed us to see the loom weaving machinery they previously used for making stunning fabrics for priests’ vestments and church fabrics. Oh and in Căldărușani, they have kitties on the grounds :). We really enjoyed Toni’s company and his knowledge, would recommend him without hesitation. So glad we arranged for this tour during our time in Bucharest.

Great tour of mostly often-overlooked wonders around the Bucharest OTP airport. This is a great way to spend a long layover or a half-day on the way to or from the airport. Toni, the guide, is absolutely wonderful. He is very knowledgeable, personable, funny, flexible and speaks fluent English. The tour and Toni are both highly recommended. We would definitely hire Toni again for other tours in the region in the future.

We enjoyed the monasteries that Tony took us to. Each was unique. He explained their history and how they fit into Romanian history. Tony was prompt, polite, and answered all our questions about the monasteries and also about day-to-day life in Romania.

We spent several days in Romania seeing major sites. Everywhere we went there were crowds and lines. We took this tour on our last day and we were thrilled. The sites are beautiful, uncrowded and peaceful. We are so very pleased that we took this tour.
