5.00Excellent walking tour by a very pleasant female guide with very good English skills. I learned a lot from her about Romanian history and life in Bucharest. By walking we were able to see some of the less accessible historical venues, such as the previous brothel alley and the side avenues that used to have inns and stables for the merchants. I highly recommend taking this tour for anyone visiting Bucharest for the first time.
Great Introduction to Bucharest

4.00Walking is often the best way to see a city and also with a local guide. The tour took just under 5 hours rather than 3, so it was a day trip. The guide was knowledgeable and spoke from personal experience of life under communism. It was very interesting but also sad to see the abandoned buildings and homes. A very good background in understanding Bucharest. Some streets uneven. Do let the guide know if you want to pick up a coffee en route

5.00Doina was very friendly, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and helpful. She went above and beyond the allocated time to show us the town and share as much as she could. She could answer our questions well too. She's well connected and knows the shops and restaurant owners, which was extremely useful when we needed the restroom. We didnt have any issues bringing our little one in a stroller.
Good guided Bucharest experience

5.00Highly recommend! She went above and beyond to show us everything and was extremely knowledgeable about the countries history. She knew the history behind all of the stops we visited. She spent more time with us than she had to and was very friendly. Had a wonderful experience!
