Great service and a personal tour! - This was great! I was the only person in the tour next to the guide Alex, and I really appreciate this Personal tour! Alex is a nice, relaxed guy, who knows so much and could tell me all the stories and historical facts in a way that made sense and kept me interested. I really learned a lot! About the city, the buildings, the history about Romania. The weather also was perfect. The bike rode smooth. He sent me a lot of information and tips, what to not miss, since I will be here for a longer time. What a great service! Thanks!

Great trip, thanks Lucia! - The best way to see a new city is on a bike with a local; Lucia gave us a fantastic tour around the city. We never felt unsafe, and she was able to answer all of our weird questions. The pace of the cycling was good, and you're only ever cycling for tops 5 minutes before a break to look at something. Overall a great experience.

Bike along the main attractions of Bucharest - A healthy and learning activity, while combining visiting many places at once. The tour was very fun and our tour guide was very fun and willing to answer our questions. Highly recommended.

Best way to explore Bucharest - Not even kidding, I really thought riding up and down the streets of Bucharest with Alex was the best way to explore this wonderful city. This tour takes you to unique places the other tours leaves out, such as the old parliament. Thanks for the fund memories Alex

A great tour of the city with Lucia - We booked this tour whilst in Bucharest on a short city break. Booking was straight forward. Lucia was our guide and she communicated with us prior to the tour starting to confirm meeting place and time etc. Bikes were available when we turned up and we were given a bottle of water and a snack which was appreciated. The tour was around 4 hours and took in key aspects of the city, predominantly the old town but also some of the outlying areas. Lucia was very informative about the history of Bucharest (and Romania) and tailored this around the sights visited during the tour. We stopped for a refreshment near the river mid way through the tour. Lucia also asked throughout the tour whether anyone had questions and to ensure we were enjoying it and getting everything from it and any questions we may have. We left a gratuity at the end of the tour as we thought it was excellent and therefore represented this. Thanks for a great day Lucia!
