5.00Bianca was a fabulous tour guide! With only a few days in Bucharest, I am so glad we spent our first full morning with her. She had a very thoughtful itinerary and found beautiful spots we never would have discovered on our own. We got a great overview of the city and country’s history. She was also wonderful with our 4 year old. If you are looking for a terrific tour guide, look no further!
We really loved spending...

5.00We really loved spending our first day in Bucharest with Bianca! She was very accommodating with the the start time and we leisurely went around the city, learning about it's architecture and design. She was very nice and soft spoken. She helped us take photos and where we saw interest, we pivoted. We prefer a relaxed atmosphere so everything for our first day to get our bearings was great!
Absolutely Excellent!

5.00Excellent. This tour was a highlight of our visit to Bucharest. Our guide, Bianca, was exceptional. As a former journalist, Bianca was able to artfully convey the keynotes of Romanian history while pointing out the buildings or other illustrations of that history in one tour. She also tailored the tour and our pace to our needs. We highly recommend.
An absolutely great walking tour of Buscherst

5.00Bianca's knowledge of the history and cultures of Buscherst and Romania were the best part of this tour. Extremely knowledgeable and one of the friendliest tour guides I have ever had. The restaurant we had lunch at was authentic Romanian cuisine and tasted fantastic. Thanks for the great experience Bianca. Cheers Dan

5.00Bianca is a wonderful tour guide. A little soft spoken at times making it challenging to hear her over the busy city, but none the less she provides interesting information. I particularly enjoyed learning about the different architectural influences and hearing about her personal experience in Romania. We enjoyed pastries, coffee and a fabulous lunch along our walking tour. There was ample time for pictures and I appreciated the walks through the neighborhoods that let you see a different Bucharest.
Wonderful Experience

5.00It was so fun and interesting wandering the streets, discovering hidden gems and checking the cool places where locals go. Our guide had such good vibes, we learned a lot about the culture from her in a fun matter. The food was surprisingly good. Cant wait to return and stay longer and go to the mountains also, hopefully with the same guide!
The Beautiful Folklore of Bucharest & More ✨

5.00It was an absolute pleasure to tour with, and learn from Bianca. She is very well versed in the local folklore, mysticism, and histories of Romania. Her personality is very warm, friendly, and accommodating. The closing of our tour ended with traditional Romanian food - whereby, upon my request - Bianca continued to enlighten me about Romanian food, tradition, and customs. Out of all the tours I have experienced around the world, this one with Bianca has been my favourite, thus far. Thank you! ✨
A great way to explore the city as a solo traveller
