Hello! My name is Cristian and I am an avid history enthusiast and local guide. I love to travel and visit new places, even very touristic ones, but honestly, I much prefer the more unknown sites. I love finding more about the history of the place i visit, and i take part in alot of tours myself ! I also enjoy meeting new people from different parts of the world and learning their stories, My hobbies music ( i am currently learning to play the piano), sports, alot of reading and photography .

Tour description

 

 

   Do you want to explore Bucharest with a passionate local guide ? Look no further ! I am passionate about history and the stories that make the city I am visiting. That’s why in this tour we wont just focus on random historical stuff , like at a college lecture, but more on stories collected from others or myself and combine it with the history of the city so you can have a better view about daily life now and during communism. Some ancient history included aswell.

   As i am not a fan of huge guided tours , i will limit this experience to maximum 25 people.

 

  After the tour your will be ready for your Bucharest exploration ! You will learn what to eat, what not eat but most importantly  we will have fun, laugh, learn and enjoy our time in this fascinating city that I call home ! So join me and we will: 

 

  • Find out about the dark history of communism , the biggest anti-comunism Revolution ever and see the second largest building in the world , The House of the People
  • See a wonderful passage between the old town and Victory Avenue, 
  • Explore the old Town and hear stories about people that lived here 
  • Hear about how strange life was during communism 
  • See one of the most beautiful churches in the city center , Stavropoleos and find out it's history,
  • Get food recommendations (non-tourist traps )
  • And more
  • What we won't see - vampires   😐 

   


So join me and let’s have fun !   😃

Could not ask for more! It was our first time in Bucharest and Cristian gave us the most perfect tour of the city, with many interesting historical facts. Also, it was a pleasure talking with him and get to know more about how it is to live in Bucharest today. I highly recommend anyone to take a tour with him!
