Iuliana Codreanu is a local tour guide in Constanța, Romania offering private tours and excursions

With an experience of over 10 years, I have led tours for the most important international tourism companies, to realize that truly discovering a place and getting the charm and the real vibe of a place is possible only for small private groups where interaction between guide and tourists is the most important thing. I think guiding shouldn\'t be just a monologue, but a dialog, to be able to discover what travelers are interested in, and focus on those interests rather than just giving a general overview of an area. In order to get to know a place you have to meet the locals and to hear stories that you cannot find in the guide books.
