My name is Ion Dima and I am the manager of the Romania Tour Store travel agency. As a tour guide, I have traveled more than 70 countries, visiting more than 500 cities and handling both small and large groups of tourists, Romanians as well as foreigners.
My passion for sharing the beauty of Romania to the world started as early as my teens, by discovering and seeing its diversity of cultures, nature, history. Therefore, in 2007 I established this boutique travel agency, enabling me to function as a registered travel agency which provides travel services to Romania and surrounding countries such as Bulgaria, Hungary, Serbia, Macedonia or Republic of Moldova.
Today, Romania Tour Store is able to offer you a wide range of private tours to suit all ages and – budgets:, whether your interests lie in either cultural private tours, or outdoor adventure tours (guided biking and hiking tours), photo tours, or city tours and day trips.
Transportation is ensured with our own modern, high-comfort cars and vans throughout the majority of the Eastern Europe Countries. We also handle airport transfers from Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Sibiu or Timisoara.
We offer travel packages that include accommodation, airport transfers, guided services, as well as entrance fees to the touristic attractions.
The Romania Tour Store travel agency supports and is an active endorser of sustainable development of the local communities of the Bucovina, Transylvania or Maramures Regions. Meeting the local people, actively integrating in their way of life, dining in their homes, visits to colorful markets, learning about different local customs, all these are part of our travel programs.
We specialize in tailor-made, private tours of Romania and the Balkans and always try to fully understand, meet and exceed our customer expectations. Our tailor-made tours aim to ensure the best quality of services at the most convenient rates.
For our travellers, we`ve also created a travel blog section and YouTube channel, where we are giving some travel tips and advice prior to your arrival in beautiful Romania.
Romania Tour Store staff is a dynamic, well prepared and licensed team with young yet experienced and flexible guides, all committed to offer you the best tourist experience.
We have been enjoying excellent tour reviews for many years and this is one of the acknowledgments that keep us motivated. You can check-out our Tripadvisor.com reviews.
One of the things that recommend Romania Tour Store is its endorsement by the Romanian Ministry of Tourism. The agency has had a close partnership with the ministry over the last 5 years, in which we have been providing transport and guiding services to foreign delegates arriving in Romania, as well as to journalists and foreign travel agents.
In 2017 Romania Tour Store was the only Romanian Travel Agency recommended by the Lonely Planet shop guidebook of Romania and Bulgaria, as a trustful travel services provider for ”guided multi-day tours to Transylvania, the painted monasteries of Bucovina and the Danube Delta”.
Our partners are: Viator, Maritime Travel, Berkeley`s Northside Travel, JP International Travel, American Express, Out & About Travel Inc, Paralela 45, Bran Castle.
I`ve been touring since 2007 and have been handling a minimum of 50 tours each year.
Of course not all the tours include a tour of the Peles Castle but at least 30 of them do.
I`m therefore estimating a minimum 300 visits made to the picturesque and fairy-tale- like castle nestled at the foot of the Bucegi range, and you know what? I still can’t get enough of this magnificent place.
We’ve guided our tourists to the highest peak of Romania – the Moldoveanu peak, towering at an impressive 2,544m.
The peak is quite hard to “conquer” due to its location, deep in the heart of the Carpathians.
Chalets, cabins and shelters in general are far between, and this is why you need at least two days to reach it. We have tried a different approach, by driving on the forest road with a 4X4, and then continuing with an 8-hour hike to the summit.
Our choice was proven right, and as we reached the valley beyond the forest, the sun light pierced the clouds and let a perfect blue sky be witness to our ascent to Romania’s highest peak…
