"Every city has a public face and a private one. I've spent years learning Bucharest's private face — and these tours are how I share it."
Book a TourArchitecture & Photography
For over a decade, I've been exploring Bucharest with a camera — not the tourist's Bucharest of the Palace of Parliament and the Old Town, but the residential city: the Neo-Romanian villas of Dacia Boulevard, the Art Deco apartment buildings of Floreasca, the forgotten interwar passages of the city centre. Photography trained me to see slowly, to notice what most people walk past.
The Book
This sustained attention led to the publication of "București Neoromânesc", a photo book dedicated to the Neo-Romanian architectural style — a movement born from nationalism in the early 20th century and shaped into something extraordinary by architects like Ion Mincu and Petre Antonescu. The book documents surviving buildings, ornamental details, and the urban fabric of a style that is slowly disappearing.
Music
Alongside architecture and photography, music has been a constant in my life. I'm a musician — an identity that runs parallel to the work you see here. There's a connection, I think, between the two: both are ways of listening carefully to something that most people only hear in passing.
The Tours
The guided tours grew naturally from the photography and the book. I'd spent years accumulating knowledge about specific buildings, specific streets, specific stories — and the tours became a way of sharing that directly, in person, at walking pace. Each tour is a private experience, shaped around your curiosity and your pace. I don't follow a script. I follow the buildings.
