Hello, my name is Cristi. I am 46 years old and I was born and raised in Bucharest, the capital city of Romania and I am proud and hapy to live here. I started working as a courier and then for the past 11 years I have been in the tourism business. I did transfers and private tours in Romania and in the neighbouring Eastern European countries. I have been collaborating with most of the Romanian travel agencies and the river cruises companies that are operating on the Danube. It is a great job, I find it very exciting and rewarding. I get to be the 'ambassador' of my country and I get to meet travelers from all around the world, getting to know different cultures and mentalities. When I am not working my favourite things to do are traveling all over the world, riding motorcycles, cycling, hiking and breeding pigeons. I am a very active person, I love traveling all over the word and I spend a lot of time in the Carpathian Mountains. I am looking forward to meet you and show you my wonderful country! I have a Tourism License from the Romanian Ministry of Tourism and Transportation I am a Program Director / Cruise Manager for an American Company ,on the Danube river . Safe driver with 26 years of experience. I am not allowed to guide inside of the Palace of the Parliament

The best alpine road in Transylvania
Overview of your Bucharest tour
"The most amazing road we've ever seen" this is how the Top Gear team named this road. If you are looking for an adventure with breathtaking landscapes this is a perfect choice. On this trip, there are good chances to see the brown bears as well as other wild animals. Curtea de Arges Monastery is one of the sites I aim for you to see. It is one of the most beautiful churches in Romania, which houses the tombs of royal couples. At Poenari Fortress, here we will climb 1480 stairs to see Vlad Dracula's fortification, which overlooks over the Carpathian Mountains. Then we will go up The Transfagrasan Road to the astonishing glacial lake of Balea situated at 2000 meters altitude. I love this tour for the amazing mountain view and the fresh alpine air.

This day tour was the highlight of our Romanian trip! The mountain scenery was beautiful and getting to the top of the mountain pass provided stunning photos! We enjoyed eating lunch at the top with all the freshly grilled delicious meats. Seeing all the bears was a delight and there were so many! We will always remember one bear family chasing our car down the road :) Cristi is professional, courteous and friendly! We enjoyed his company and history provided. Transport was in a comfortable clean car.
