Razvan is the BEST! 5 stars!

5.00Razvan was truly at the top of all local guides I’ve had in many countries. He was punctual, his English impeccable (we questioned whether he was really from Bucharest - but he is!), he was kind and helpful and tailored the content to our interests, including Jewish history. He also had resource materials to put subject matter in a meaningful context, and he is very well educated, a history scholar and high in emotional intelligence. He could converse on any subject that we broached. All questions were well received and he delved below the surface of the usual tourist information and locations. It was quite an honor to have someone of his caliber lead us through the Old Town area. Razvan was an incredible value and we highly recommend him!
A cultured and passionate guide

5.00Razvan is a cultured and knowledgeable guide, who made us live a wonderful day of history and life. He is first of all an excellent storyteller, with him we learned the history of Romania and the city of Bucharest. His deep knowledge and understanding of history, people, politics and architecture will help you get up close and personal with a cross-section of Romanian society. Our personalized tour was a journey into the past and present of Romanian and European history. Thanks to his passionate way of telling, our memories of the 1980s and 1990s about the dissolution of the USSR and Eastern European dictatorships came alive and took shape and sense. How much fervor, and alas, now, how much disappointment in us all for the present! Thank you Razvan, it was really nice to meet you. I would say to everyone: Super recommended!
An outstanding guide .... A kind hearted man

5.00Me and my friend had the pleasure of participating in a full Bucharest city tour where Razvan was our guide in 2023 . Razvan went truly above and beyond to show us the full beauty and charm of this city . He organized a tour route where we passed by the most beautiful streets and building of Bucharest such as : The Romanian Athenaeum,Lipscani,Revolution Square,Calea Victoriei and etc ... . The tour included fascinating explanations about the history of Romania from medieval to communist times . Razvan also gave us reccomendation on the hotest bars , clubs and fine dining establishments in the city . He is very knowlegabe in that front as well :) We were so thrilled from the city tour and we decided to book Razvan again in our 2024 Romana trip . This time we decided to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and see The Romanian countryside. Razvan organized a bespoke charming tour for us where we enjoyed , wine tasting in small family owned wineries, spa and fine dining in butik hotels, villages and etc .We had a great time ! Razvan is also very kind person and does everything in this power to meet his guest request and that they will enjoy themselves.
Razvan is by far the very best tour guide in all of Romania.. look no other!
