5.00We spent a delightful morning with our guide Elena. She was able to combine current events with the complex history of Romania. She is extremely knowledgeable, kind and very entertaining. She gave us numerous recommendations on where to eat and where to find yummy snacks. It felt like we got to know Bucharest as an “insider” walking with Elena through the Old Town. I would highly recommend a tour with Elena.
Excellent

5.00We were blown away by the knowledge of Mara. There is so much history of Bucharest & Romania which we found so very interesting. Mara explained everything so completely & had our complete attention. The Old City & modern Bucharest have so much to offer which the average tourist would never know about without the tour & explanations. We highly recommend this tour & Mara to every Bucharest visitor. Loree & Doug Vancouver, BC, Canada

5.00Our walk with Elena was very enjoyable. She was energetic and fun, and without the help of a good guide, Bucharest is a hard city to appreciate.

5.00A 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!
Alex a great guide

5.00I 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.
