I was born in Oradea city where I live now. As a child I wandered the mountain. My parents who were professors took me with them during the summer holidays in camps organized by the Ministry of Education, where we lived three months per year from June until September. Students were coming series after series. So, get accustomed with the every day routes, I memorized them so well, that the marks were useless for me. Then came the faculty, then the job and year after year I targeted the mountains one by one followed of course with a sejour in 2 May, the hippies resort on the Black Sea coast. In 2011, I 've got the opportunity to follow a course for mountain guides, travel guides and travel agents based on European funds which I graduated in 2012. This way I started the business which is a hobby for me. I think it is the best way it might be. I am licensed mountain guide, tourism guide, travel agent and tourism manager with a great experience in trekking and hiking tours from Romania.

Your Oradea tour itinerary
We begin our trip early in the morning heading to Huneadoara town the place where the castle is located. The castle guide will give the explanations in Romanian and the tour guide will translate. The castle is a large and imposing structure with tall towers, bastions, an inner courtyard, diversely coloured roofs and myriad windows and balconies adorned with stone carvings. The tower "Neboisa", which remained unchanged from John Hunyadi's time, and the Capistrano Tower (named after the saint, Franciscan friar from the Battle of Belgrade in 1456 are some of the most significant parts of the construction. Other significant parts of the building are the Knights' Hall (a great reception hall), the Diet Hall, the torture chambers where various torture tools are exposed, a fountain dug by three Turkish prisoners who were promised freedom when job was done. It took them 15 years and 28 days to reach water but finally they were killed. Late in the evening we shall return in Oradea.
