Experience Bucharest through a local's eyes

5.00Adrian is one of the bet your guides I've ever encountered. This isn't just a job for him, he is very passionate about his city and his country. Not only did I see parts of Bucharest that would've been hard for me to discover by myself but I learned about parts of Romania that aren't popular and are hidden gems. Highly recommend taking this tour with Adrian.

5.00With only and afternoon and evening to spare in Bucharest, this 2 hour walking tour with nice and knowledgeable guide Adrain was a perfect introduction to the eventful (modern) history of Romania.

5.00Adrian has a vast knowledge of his country, Romania. He’s very interactive, making the entire walk interesting, easy and a fun experience. He gave ideal practical options and answers on what, where, when , and why- regarding activities to do as a tourist in Romania.
Excellent tour around Bucharest. Strongly recommended for your first day as you'll see a lot of stuff and get a good idea what m

5.00Adrian is a great guide. He describes the buildings on the tour not only interestingly and in historical context but also shares a lot of surrounding information - plus nice anecdotes. The city tour and Adrian will remain positively in our memory.
Disappointment

1.00The tour didn't really give me an insight of Romania. It felt like the guide was mostly advertising paces we should eat and buy things. Also the information he gave was mostly stuff you could read in wikipedia with not much context. Also from the moment we arrived at the meeting point he made sure to tell us a few times about extra tips we should give him (although we had already paid the ticket) ,which is bad taste considering it made everyone in the group feel awkward. I don't know if it was a bad day, but Adrian is not a guide I would recommend and this is the first time I'm writing a negative comment about a guided tour so....
Adrian was amazing! He...

5.00A truly fantatsic tour. Adrian made everyone feel welcome straight away. Spent time learning everyones names and talking to people. He was so enthusiastic and passionate you couldn't help but feel the same. He also made sure to keep everyone laughing and upbeat, even with some of the darker topics. A truly incredible tour guide. Would definitely recommend 10/10. 5 stars.
