    Marius was extremely knowledgeable and gave great historical information. He guided us to all sites we saw on tiktok and some hidden gems. He was pleasant and it was a very good experience.

    Great tour and a fantastic way to see Bucharest up close. With this private tour, you're not lost in a large group, struggling to hear and see. Instead, you see and hear everything. Our guide, Manuela, was a Bucharest native with phenomenal local knowledge. The day prior, she personally confirmed all arrangements with us. And on the morning of the tour, she contacted us again to confirm everything before she arrived. Manuela hit all the walking-distance attractions, and delivered her commentary with the detailed knowledge of a historian and the friendly style of a polished host. As we were interested in food and beverage stops for later in the visit, she took great care to suggest multiple stops and local favorite dishes. We've visited more than 40 countries and toured with hundreds of guides. We highly recommend this tour. Don't hesitate! BOOK IT!

  • An incredible tour guide!!

    The tour guide, Marius, was beyond superb is so many ways: Knowledge, historical briefings with occasional photos on a personal computer, stories not well known, sense of humor and allowing us to do minor deviations. His tour of major sites within talking distance for the three hour made all the hot spots (and other placesnot well known) come alive. We can only highly recommend him for anyone that would like to know about the history of Romania, Bucharest, the major attractions/churches/museums/restaurants/ bars/etc. that make this city unique and welcoming to visitors. Superlatives fall short!

  • An excellent memory!

    While in Bucharest I wanted to take advantage of this moment to discover the history of Romania and this city. This day was an opportunity to discover both the recent Communist past and the older history of Romania. It was a real pleasure to be able to exchange with Marius the guide on his memories of this communist past and his knowledge of the history of Romania. This tour takes place at our own pace and leaves room for discovery. I recommend it for all curious people and fond of historical anecdotes of all kinds which is my case:)

    Highly recommended. We learned a lot on this informative and interesting tour. Marius was kind enough to make changes to the itinerary to suit our shortened timetable. A pity we could not do the full 3 hours as there was so much more we could have covered.

  • A great walking tour

    Marius is a perfect guide. He is very knowledgeable of this, his native city. His English is excellent, He was very careful to check is I was comfortable with his pace. The sights he chose gave a picture of the city in many of its historical eras. And, he is very personable. I was lucky enough to be his only client on this tour. Highly recommended.

  • Perfect walking tour of Bucharest
