Hi there! Nice to meet you

Toni & Manuela

Meet Toni & Manuela – your private tour guides in Romania

Hello! I'm Toni, a licensed English-speaking tour guide, born and raised in Bucharest. Together with Manuela, I founded a local tour company focusing on tailor-made trips and an authentic travel experience.

With many years of experience and a passion for sharing Romania’s rich culture and stories, I create private, tailor-made tours that are personal, flexible, and unforgettable.

Bucharest, my hometown, is where many of my tours begin. From grand boulevards and communist-era landmarks to hidden churches, vibrant neighborhoods, and mouthwatering local cuisine—this city is full of surprises. Whether you're interested in a city tour through Bucharest’s history, a deep dive into its communist past, a delicious food experience, or a curated local wine tasting, I’ll help you explore the city through a local’s eyes.

Beyond the capital, Romania unfolds with endless beauty—from the fairytale castles of Transylvania to the traditional Saxon villages and fortifications, UNESCO painted monasteries, the majestic Carpathian Mountains, and the untouched wilderness of the Danube Delta.

My city tours or multi-days tours are designed around your interests, not a fixed itinerary. I provide transportation in comfortable, air-conditioned vehicles (sedan or minivan), so you can travel at ease and in style.

Over the years, I’ve built strong connections with trusted hotels, restaurants, and cultural sites, and I’m happy to share my best recommendations with you. I also offer travel advice for anyone planning a visit—just ask and I’ll help you find what fits your style.

Let’s turn your trip to Romania into a truly memorable adventure. I can’t wait to welcome you!

Best regards,

Toni

We spent a few enjoyable hours with Manuela touring Old Town and taking a trolley to a large market where we sampled local food and beer. Manuela was knowledgeable about the history and architecture of Bucharest and also fun to be with. We highly recommend this tour.Interesting tour with a fantastic guide

We made a mistake with our booking, but Toni and his friend Manuela took great care of us. We enjoyed the experience immensely and are ready to book again to explore the city we currently call home even more. We found new inspiration in learning the history of buildings and monuments we walk past nearly daily. Our tour was a treat. Best tour With Locals to date!

We met with Toni on our first morning in Bucharest. He is gentle and knowledgeable, with first hand experience of the challenges that the inhabitants of this beautiful country have undergone in recent times. He also has extensive information on Romanian history and nothing was too much trouble. We cannot recommend him highly enough. You will not be disappointed if you book him. Toni is great.

Toni is a knowledgeable, experienced guide. He came with enlarged photos and a very historic video as well - to give deeper understanding about the history and culture of Romania. We walked the Old Town area together exploring bucharest; it was interesting and a great choice of morning activity. I am glad that I chose to tour with Toni and I recommend him as a guide. Great guide

Toni was a wonderful guide and came prepared to provide the best overview of his city and country in the time he had with us. Because we were doing a tour of the Parliament right after his tour, Toni reversed his tour and started at the Atheneum, walking us down Victory Boulevard and into Old Town. Along the way, he explained royal Romanian history through Ceaușescu and the Soviets, giving an impartial view. And he brought video of Ceaușescu's last speech and the storming of his office to put things in perspective. He also spoke of his personal recollections as a child in those last years of Soviets reign. But the tour also focused on the regeneration of Bucharest in the past 30+ years and life today. I highly recommend Toni and this tour.Terrific overview of Bucharest/Romania

If you want a really good tour guide, look no further . We had a really interesting day with Toni. He tells lots of background stories, and took us to see places we wouldn't have noticed if we were on our own. His English is very good, and he made the whole tour fun. Definitely recommend him as a great tour guide.A really good tour guide.
