Adrian here. 100 % Romanian. I lived half of my life in Bucharest. Before the pandemic I worked for 7 years in the travel industry as a marketing specialist and in college I studied Geography (my passion since I was a child). I am also the creator and the admin behind the Facebook page: Go Visit Bucharest and recently started to offer "walking tours" in the city which I dearly love. I invite you to join me and discover the underrated capital of Romania! See you!

Fantastic guide with experience, knowledge and a lot of passion! He showed us so many things in a short time but deepened them all in but impeccable work. Highly recommended as a guide, we were really happy to learn a lot about the history of Romania, the people and the city thanks to him. He also gave us lots of advice on what to visit, typical dishes, restaurants and places to eat.
