About Tour Guide Tudor A.
Hello there :)
I have been guiding for more than 12 years in cities as Bucharest, Sibiu, Brasov, Iasi and Ramnicu Valcea. Which show some of the most important objectives, folklore and important cultural details of Romania.
I like to show not just the main sites but also, our main cultural identity with a bit of stand up through our history. Because without a bit of humour, history is a pretty lame & crude story.
So join me to learn about romanian food, folklore, language and the main sites
