Private guide

A historian, hiker, photographer or food guide for a day

The difference between seeing a Saxon village and understanding one is a person who grew up next to it. We work with English-speaking guides — historians, mountain leaders, photographers, food specialists — who travel with you for a day or a week and make the place legible.

Choose the lens

Saxon heritage and fortified churches; a ridge hike in Piatra Craiului or the Făgăraș; the painted monasteries of Bucovina; the wine country around Târnave; or a deep, un-touristy day in Bucharest. You pick the theme, we match the right specialist.

Depth, not a checklist

A good guide slows the day down. Fewer stops, more understanding — the story behind a doorway carving, the reason a village looks the way it does, the family who still bakes in the communal oven. This is the opposite of a coach tour.

For all paces

Gentle village walks for grandparents, serious ridge days for hikers, curious half-days for families. Guides carry the logistics — permits, timings, the closed door that opens for them — so you carry nothing.

FAQ

Do guides come to the house?
Yes — they meet you at the stay and travel from there, by our driver or yours.
Can a guide and a driver be the same person?
Often, for a region day. For serious hikes or specialist history we send both, so the guide is free to focus on you.
