WHY ME ? My friendly Hollywood accent, European dad jokes, my singing, energetic personality, famous Romanian myths and stories at your service. I'm specialized in organising corporate events, family trips and discovering hidden places around Romania outside the beaten path. I can sing in English, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Romanian (of course). :) WHAT I BELIEVE ? Travelling through Europe, Asia and South America taught me that a direct contact with the local people, local cuisine and the places locals normally go to it's a must. Of course we're going to talk about everything and I will answer all of your questions because it's my pleasure to get to know your opinions/curiosities and to help you understand Romania. WHAT IS MY GOAL ? To make you experience an excellent holiday and tell you Romania's story in its complexity, with the ups and downs, the old and new, music, religions, ethnic diversity and all the major events that shaped the country. WHAT CAN WE DO FOR YOUR BEST EXPERIENCE ? Tell me what would you want to see and I can make an itinerary suited to your needs and schedule. If you're into golf, keep in mind that Romania has the 2nd longest PAR6 in the World. Mud volcanos ? Yes, we have those Mars-like landscapes. Roman baths, fortified citadels, gigantic salt mines, extraordinary landscapes and incredible energies. . . At the end of many tours I really enjoy to hear the best description possible: "we never expected it to be this great". Transylvania is definitely the place to discover, while Bucharest is the place to party and start/finish a tour (especially if after that your Danube cruise starts). If you like to see the main attractions in Bucharest, it's normally a 2h drive (after 20:00 o'clock or in the weekends) or a 4-5h walk around tour. Besides that, The Palace of the Parliament (the heavyest building in the World), The Village Museum, The Old City Center and The Communist Era Tour are interesting enough to worth spend some extra time in the capital. IF YOU WERE WONDERING. . . The majority of my tours are custom made - people want to see or do something in particular. So. . . ASK ME ANYTHING about any topic and we can set up the best (and most efficient) Romanian experience possible. My personal suggestion is that if you have 5 days in Romania don't spend more than 2 nights in Bucharest. . . We have a wonderful country with the Danube Delta and the Carpathian Mountains being the most appealing in terms of landscapes and wildlife, Transylvania has the best medieval heritage and Moldova (NE Romania) has its fair share of wonderful old monasteries and wineries. Also, if you look for perfect landscapes or interesting experiences (sheephearding, horseriding, mountaineering, isolated communities, etc. ) ask me. All that's left is for you to just tell me what do you want to see, feel and experience. This Romanian adventure needs to shift your travel energies into the right direction and trust me I will help you with all I can. I'm very glad you chose Romania for your next trip ! PS: don't be afraid of the "land of Dracula" - I'll keep you safe from any evil spirits, brown bears or a boring traffic. :) Certified tour and mountain guide by the Department of Tourism (badge no. 11.423) Certified sound therapy healer Certified in Basic Life Support Certified trainer for company events Driver's license for motorcycle and small vehicles/vans Certified industrial climber Engineering College degree from UPB We can take a break whenever you want if you need to smoke or a bathroom break. :) I enjoy children travellers, so they won't get bored or anything. I have enough stories to tell...

This drive is beyond any night experience of Bucharest. It involves a genuine police-car from the Communist time and a presentation of the most important landmarks from that period. If your group is more than 2, we can get another extra car that was used by the Bucharest Police dept. in the 50s (a Plymouth). We'll need to add 300 euros to the entire cost in this case. . . Anyway, both cars are available if you prefer one more than the other. We will not only smell the inside of a car made in 1974 and experience the comfort of its leather seats, but we will also take pictures that will be a testament of your time-travel with this classic Dacia (the car of the Romanian People made after the Renault plans bought by Ceausescu for the Pitesti factory). People on the street will turn their heads and wave thinking that a movie is being shot, but we will calmly tell them "it's only a private exploration. Nobody's going to arrest you". . . :) Prepare for a 2h drive that will definitely worth your time-travel.
The pick-up can be done from your hotel or a restaurant, at 19:00 or later. If we leave too early we can get into the afternoon traffic and that can be a nuisance. The Itinerary will definetly include: - the House of the People viewed from the Constitution Square (in front) - The Ceausescu Museum - The Spark House (where the main propaganda newspaper had its offices) Other emblematic buildings on our route will be: - the Central Comitee building (Ceausescu's office) - University Square (and its 1989 Revolution spots), - the Romanian Television (another important building in those troubled times) and many more. It will be a perfect way to make a night to remember. If you like to see anything in particular, let me know and I will customise the tour.
Tell your guide which places matter to you, skip what doesn't, and tailor the experience for your group's needs. Not finding what you want? Message your guide to build something unique.
Classic Militia Dacia with lights and original props. *the normal tour can take up to 3 persons besides the driver in the Militia car, but we can take a second car if you are a group of 5 or 6 and take a second car (Plymouth) that was also used by the Communist Police in the 50s and 60s. The guidance will be done with a live call between the 2 cars. Ask me to explain if you don't understand. :) The price will rise with 300 euros if we involve the second car (I will make a personalized tour).
