Amazing experience and learned a lot! Our guide Ed was very knowledgeable and friendly and we really enjoyed the tour
Ed was amazing!! He answered all of our questions and was very knowledgeable during the whole tour!
It was a very pleasant walk through Bucharest, seeing the chaotic differences in architecture, hearing about the historic value of buildings and walking around in some. Our guide, Ed, was very knowledgeable and charismatic and gave a tour to remember.
Very very good. Super interesting, easy to listen to guide. Spot on.
Very fortunate that we started early as it was quite a hot day! By the end of tour we were happy to put our feet up! Radu was our guide and his knowledge and English were outstanding
Excellent tour guide! Very friendly, knowledge and informative with a warm, kind delivery. We got great value for money with 2.5 hours of essential sights and Bucharest information. We were disappointed we didn’t have cash on us to to give a well deserved tip. We also received great tips like eating and drinking in Caru’ cu bere and visiting the Cărturești Carusel bookshop.
Fantastic small group walking tour lasting about 2 to 2.5 hours. Eduard our guide was superb, friendly and made the whole experience very interesting. His knowledge is immense and it was a pleasure to interact with him. A great way to understand the incredible history of the city with visits to the most important sites Highly recommended
