If what you are looking for is a more odd, off the beaten track sort of holiday, look no further: you’ve come to the right place! Get your tailor-made tours here!
Since your guide is based in beautiful, yet not properly known, Timişoara (Western Romania, hence not just any tour guide, but Timişoara Tour Guide!), most tours are designed for your accommodation in and departure from this city towards several other destinations in the area of Banat and Transylvania. Most of the tours are perfect for a city break sort of getaway, landing in Timişoara and taking short trips to the surrounding areas, both towns and villages, which will give you the opportunity to gain some real insight into Romanian life, culture and tradition. Expect contrasts which will shock your pants off and leave you wanting to come back for more!
Trips to Transylvania are also available for all you Dracula lovers out there. However, if you wish to do some extensive travelling, I suggest you include: the Danube, boat rides, traditional meals, cart rides, nature, lots of nature, medieval towns, fortresses and churches, haunted lakes and more castles, mining and industrial architecture, all of which you will find thrilling and also detailed in the Week trip to Transylvania below.
My tours have a social impact and are what you might call travelling with respect: I advise tourists to choose handmade and homemade products as souvenirs, both of which will help support local businesses. Also, for accommodation, meals and entertainment, I recommend local family hotels, restaurants and bars. Besides the charm and personalized treatment they are offered, they will also have the opportunity to contribute in a responsible way to the local economy and to support crafts and craftsmen. I also try to encourage tourists to mingle with the locals. I inform the locals and involve friends who give guests a hand and welcome them into their homes, allowing them to take part in their activities, for a more thorough understanding of our life and reality. To my guests and new friends I explain the local customs, what is and what is not appropriate, local rules and regulations, so that our and their activity may be carried out in harmony and in the most respectful way towards the locals.
Tours are carried out in English, Spanish and Romanian and always with a friendly smile on your guide’s face and a red umbrella in her hand. So get ready, on your marks, get set… FOLLOW ME!
