5.00We had a lovely experience on this tour with Andreea as our tour guide. She was incredibly gentle, kind and patient with the whole group and had a wealth of knowledge explaining everything along the way. The salt mine was eye-opening and the visit to Snagov Monastery was interesting! Highly recommended!

5.00Ionut is an exceptional guide! His passion for his job makes the tour even better. The warmth of his presence and his enthusiasm created an awesome atmosphere, even if we were distanced from the group because of the lack of seats. So he accompanied the two of us with the backup car: he always made sure we were comfortable, asked any of our preferences, made good conversations and laughed a lot!! We couldn't have asked for anything better! Thank you!
Amazing experience
