5.00Toni was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable. We especially liked the stories of his childhood during the communist era and that green bananas were a special treat at Christmas. I would not hesitate to recommend his services.

5.00Toni, our Tourguide, was able to drive us around in his car since we were the only two on the tour. It started to rain so it became a private tour. He was very knowledgeable, and very patient with us. It was very much appreciated.

5.00Maurice was a very good tour guide. He provided detailed history of the region and a deep appreciation of communist life. Bucharest has come a long way and overcome much. Very interesting.

1.00I do not recommend booking with this company. The guide canceled the tour one hour before it was supposed to start. Very disappointing service as it left me no time to possibly find another tour or activity.
