Vlad P. is the provider of this trip

The provider speaks: English, Italian

My name is Vlad, and I am proud to say that I was born in the picturesque city of Brașov, Romania. With over 18 years of experience in the tourism industry, I have developed a deep understanding and passion for helping travelers explore the beauty of my country. I began my career as a local guide, where I immersed myself in showcasing the rich history and vibrant culture of Romania to visitors. This initial experience sparked my enthusiasm for the industry and led me to take on new challenges. I went on to work as a cruise manager with prestigious companies like Viking and Ama Waterways, where I honed my skills in customer service, logistics, and adventure planning over the span of five years. Upon returning to my hometown, I felt a strong desire to create something of my own. This ambition resulted in the establishment of my own tour operator agency and destination management company (DMC). Since its inception, we have been committed to providing unforgettable private and group tours across Romania, focusing on unique experiences that cater to every traveler’s interests. In my travels, I have taken the time to personally scout and evaluate the best accommodations, gourmet restaurants, local experiences, and exquisite tastings. This dedication ensures that all of our offerings meet the highest standards of quality and authenticity. My mission is to create remarkable journeys for my travelers, allowing them to truly experience the heart and soul of Romania.
