Welcome to Local Footsteps!

We’re a small tour company based in the heart of Transylvania, created by people who love Romania and love sharing it with others. We believe the best memories don’t come from ticking landmarks off a list. They come from the people you meet, the stories you hear, the food you try, and those unexpected moments that end up becoming the highlight of your trip.

That’s why we work with local guides and create experiences that help you discover the Romania we grew up in. From walking tours and private day trips to multi-day adventures, we combine famous highlights with experiences that bring you closer to local life. One day you might be exploring Dracula’s Castle, the next learning to make sarmale with a local family, tasting homemade Visinata, or taking a ride in a vintage Dacia.

We can’t promise perfect weather, empty roads, or that you’ll leave speaking fluent Romanian. But we can promise warm welcomes, honest stories, plenty of laughs, and a chance to experience Romania the way we’d show it to our own friends.

Why Travelers Love Local Footsteps

Authentic Local Guides

Anyone can memorize dates and facts. Our guides grew up here. They’ll tell you what life was before December 1989, where to find the best papanasi, why every Romanian grandmother thinks you’re too skinny and share the stories that don’t usually make it into guidebooks.

Fair and Transparent Pricing

We believe in offering memorable experiences at a fair price, while supporting local guides, family-run businesses, and the communities we work with along the way. Because great travel should be good for both travelers and locals.

Immersive Experiences

From walking through centuries-old Saxon villages to tasting traditional Romanian dishes, every moment of our tours connects you deeply with Romania’s history, culture, and natural beauty.

Small Groups, Big Connections

We keep our groups intimate so you can enjoy a more personal experience. Build connections with fellow travelers and have the chance to ask your guide anything.
