About Eddie and Eddex Travel  Team and Story

About me and the story

I'm Eddie and I love to travel.

I was born in lovely Bucharest, a city of contrasts, a city of joy.

Before thinking about starting to travel as a tour guide I had travelled a lot as a tourist in my own country, Romania. Then, in 2019, I had a contract with an important local tour agency where I worked as a tour guide.  It was a very interesting experience, I liked it a lot and I did a very good job, receiving very good feedback from the agency and tourists, directly or on TripAdvisor.

In January 2020 I decided to start on my own and I founded Eddex Travel, which initially was only an authorized tour guidance company. Then Eddex Travel became an authorized tour operator company. Now we do boutique private tours in Romania and Bulgaria, including Bucharest, Transylvania, Maramures, Bucovina and more. Since I like to explore and discover new places and things especially when I travel,  the company name is "Eddex",  a compouned word - Edd comes from Eddie and Ex from explore.

Now why should you travel with us..

  • Boutique Tours - we give a boutique touch to all our multi-day tours
  • Unicity and Customization - we could (if possible and desired) add unique experiences, add and remove tour components - for a full customized experience
  • Good Rated Accommodation Only - minimum 3-star good rated hotels/guest houses included | some of our tours include 4-star hotels, and if not, you can always ask for a 4 or 5-star hotel, for an extra fee
  • Flexibility is the key word - in the case of a private tour, you can spend more time on what interests you the most, and less for the rest
  • More personal experience - I like to be more your travel  partner then your standard tour guide, of course only if this sounds good to you too
  • More time for you - my tours are designed to give the traveler a fair amount of time to really enjoy the attractions included.  
  • Private Tours  - we get always more value and fun in a private tour
  • Off the beaten path - whenever possible and desired (especially on our multiple-day tours), we try to explore more of our rural areas, see the locals and their way of life, discover lesser-known places, etc
  • I'm a professional - certified national tour guide - by the Romanian government
  • I know what I'm doing - I have a  bachelor's degree in Geography and Tourism
  • I'm a local - born in Bucharest, I love Romania and everything connected to traveling

When you shouldn't book a tour with us..

At Eddex Travel, we highly value common sense, courtesy, and modesty, placing great importance on the good spirits of the travelers and their accompanying guide. Therefore, if you find yourself in the examples below (or similar) it might be best not to book a tour with us, because the quality of the tour and time spent together would suffer, preventing us from truly enjoying the journey:

  • Punctuality when needed - we are very flexible during our tours, and whenever we know is possible, we might slightly extend your free time, lunch breaks, etc. However, when we ask you to be present at the exact time scheduled for departure or for some of the pick-ups along the way (we are usually flexible regarding less important pick-ups), please make every effort to adhere to that schedule. We recall a tourist who, after being 10–15 minutes late for the hotel pick-up (after which time we may decide to cancel the tour), asked us to wait a little longer, because he wanted to buy a coffee 🙂 . Naturally, we did not agree. Furthermore, drinking coffee in the car would not have been allowed. The fact that you book a private tour with us does not exempt you from being punctual, when needed.
  • Mutual respect - since you expect from us to be polite, we expect the same from you. Please use a polite tone with the guide and refrain from making demands for additional services—services that were neither requested nor paid for at the time of booking—as these can complicate the tour or make it stressful and less enjoyable. You may politely ask if certain things would be possible, but please do not give us commands. Of course, restroom emergencies can arise, but please don't ask us to stop for a breakfast break just an hour after leaving the hotel 🙂 , if this is not part of our tour schedule, and would make the tour schedule difficult. We can take this breakfast break if it doesn't affect the tour schedule, or if you agree to skip other sights included in the itinerary. The fact that you book a private tour with us does not exempt you from the need to respect us and be polite.
  • Compliance with the tour rules - private tours have rules too. Thus, for instance, if we ask you to come with a maximum of 3 pieces of luggage of a certain size (we could agree on a higher number, depending on which transportation vehicle is included in your package), please don't bring 5, because you put us in a very difficult and unpleasant situation. Moreover, if we ask you to leave the extra luggage that you have brought, in the hotel's luggage room, please comply and don't reject this option, on the grounds that you have expensive shoes in your luggage 🙂 . The fact that you book a private tour with us does not exempt you from the obligation to comply with the agreed-upon rules and conditions.

Thank you and let's make our tours a great experience for both parties.

The best way to see Transylvania 

..... The tour was amazing, very well organised and with only the 2 of us on out tour we had the fantastic guide Eddie all to ourselves. This is the best way to see Romania as the guides know so much and in a small group it is so much better as you get more time to see the parts you enjoy which in our case was all of it, and Eddie took us on walks and showed us a couple of places that weren’t part of the official itinerary. ....

Excellent guide...interesting castles 

We toured Peles Castle, Brasov (had lunch there), and "Dracula's" Castle. We had a private tour and our guide, Eduard (Eddie) narrated, explained, answered all questions and added interesting "tidbits" along the way. As our tour guide, he was able to circumvent some of the long lines. It was a long day, but a great experience!!
