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 private in Romania and Bulgaria, including Bucharest, Transylvania, Maramures, Bucovina and more. Because 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.

Eddex Travel Tour operator License

Our company uses the Insurance policy no. 57235 issued by Omniasig Vienna Insurance Group SA and valid until 10.05.2025

Our company uses the Tourism Brevet number 26305 issued on 05.05.2022 by the Ministry of Economy, Entrepreneurship and Tourism

Now why should you travel with me..

More time for you - my tours are designed to give the traveler a fair amount time to really enjoy the attractions included
Small Group Tour - usually my groups are up to 7 people but if your group is larger we'll still have fun. Based on my traveling experience, the smaller the group the better the tour. The ideal number would be anywhere from 1 to 6 or 7 people when you have a day-trip and 1-10 or 15 people for a Bucharest walking tour. My promise is to keep these limits but if you have your own private group, we are going to set these details together
Flexibility is the key word - in case of a private tour, one could spend more time on what interests you most and less for the rest
Good Rated Accommodation Only - generally small boutique hotels or guesthouses (3 star superior mostly, for some tours even 4 star) but by request could be a large size hotel, or a luxury one (for an extra fee)
More personal approach - I like to be more your travel partner then your standard tour guide, of course only if this sounds good to you too
Unicity - we could (if possible and desired) add one tour component and remove the other - even ongoing - for a full customized experience. I always try to adapt all the tour components to my traveler's special interests, when possible
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

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!!
