About Tour Guide Toni T.

My name is Toni, born and rised in Bucharest. I am a licensed English speaking Tour Guide and I do my job with passion and dedication. I invite you to read below few information about myself and I look forward meeting you in Romania.

Since I was a student, I have worked in the hospitality industry. With an experience of more than 15 years in tour guiding, I do feel happy and honored to organize tours in Romania with people from all around the world. What can be more beautiful and energizing than visiting the beautiful landscapes of Carpathian mountains, discover the rural and authentic life in the Saxon villages, medieval citadels, castles, take a tour in the wildlife of Danube Delta with its endangered species of birds or just explore the urban and modern life of Romanian cities and Bucharest, the capital of Romania.

During my job, I have made strong connections with hotels, restaurants, and museums, thus I will recommend you what I have experienced so far.

As an alternative to the big bus tours, I am offering you the flexibility and personal decision in organizing a tour in Romania, based on specific wishes, having as final result a memorable experience in Romania.

I offer travel advice for anyone who is planning a trip to Romania. Avoid the hassle of finding how, where or what is the best option for you by simply asking me for a recommendation.
