About the guru Diana

Hello everyone, 'salut'! My name is Diana and I am a professional tour guide. I have a BA English and French degree, over 10 years experience in teaching and translating. I have been working as a full-time tour guide since 2018, accompanying foreign and Romanian tourists across Romania and abroad. I live in Brasov and I am fond of the local history and culture. With me you will explore the city like a local, getting off the tourist-beaten tracks but without missing the main attractions, thus saving precious time and energy. I will show you the most interesting corners of the old town of Brasov, the best places to hang out as well as the finest pubs and restaurants. You will also have the opportunity to see some hidden gems that you will not find in any travel book.. Would you like to explore Brasov but you cannot join my tour or you want to do/see something particular? Just tell me about it and your wish will come true. In case you want to visit the region, I can also arrange some tours for you but you need to notify me in advance. I am looking forward to meeting you, Diana, Your guru and friend in Brasov :)

About the tour

The saying: "All cats are grey in the dark” certainly does not apply here as Brasov is fantastic at night. In case you have already visited the old city, you will be surprised to see that after dark Brasov is even more fascinating.
