A fun and informative walking tour of the highlights in Bucharest. Cristian is a very knowledgeable and considerate guide, patient and accommodating, who shared personal stories to enrich our experience. Cristian even took time to show and explain the Romanian currency. Did you know the bills are plastic? Being in a small group is definitely the way to go!

I have a ritual when I land in a particular country I go on a walking tour, this tour was by far the best I’ve ever experienced. Alex is such a eloquent narrator and ambassador for Romania. A national treasure. Thank you. I have a new found respect and perspective for Romania.

This is a great tour to take as soon as you arrive in Bucharest. The host, Cristian, is very knowledgeable and organized. He didn’t just walk us around pointing out landmarks—he came prepared with a photo album that brought the history of many of the sites to life. He’s also a great conversationalist. By the end of the tour, I felt like I had made a real friend in Bucharest.
