About Us

Locals. Friends. Storytellers. Explorers.

Welcome to our corner of the world — where history, landscapes, and friendships come together to offer you something more than just a tour. At Steps & Stories, we're not a corporation. We're a group of friends who love Romania — its culture, its nature, its stories — and we've built this platform to share it with you in the most personal and authentic way we could imagine.

Who We Are

We're locals who grew up wandering the cities and the Carpathians, exploring forgotten villages, cycling down little-known routes, and debating history and politics over a glass of wine. Among us, you'll find:

  • Culture buffs who can walk you through centuries of Romanian history and political twists
  • Photographers who know how to capture memories that go beyond the postcard
  • Hikers, bikers, and trekkers who live for trails and viewpoints only locals know
  • And most importantly — friends who believe that experiences are better when shared

What We Offer

We craft tours that reflect who we are — personal, flexible, and full of heart. Whether you're joining us for a walk through the capital or a medieval town, a photo-packed sunrise hike, or a spontaneous village detour, you'll always get more than a guide — you'll get a local's perspective.

  • Tailored Experiences: Our tours are shaped by our passions — and yours. Want to tweak something? Just ask.
  • Off-the-Beaten-Path Itineraries: We go beyond the obvious.
  • No Scripts, No Touristy Nonsense: Real conversations, local insights, and genuine hospitality.
  • Flexible & Open-Minded: Tell us what you're curious about — we're always up for something new.
  • Passion-Driven: We don't do this because we have to — we do it because we love connecting with people and discovering new ideas together.

Why We Do It

We believe Romania deserves to be seen with fresh eyes — not just as a checklist of landmarks, but as a living, breathing story. And we believe travelers deserve more than just to visit — they deserve to connect. With the land. With the people. With the stories that shaped them.

Join the Experience

We're not just offering tours. We're inviting you into our world — as guests, and hopefully, as new friends.

So if you're ready to discover Romania in a way that's honest, flexible, and full of character — let's go.
