A winter adventure on a tasty walking tour of Bucharest! - Angelica was a delight and worked hard to make the fascinating and complex history of her nation and its capital come to life for a visitor from the US. She welcomed me with a warm preztel. We walked the Mahallas and visited churches at the center of these early neighborhoods. I learned about the history of the varied architecture along our walk through the stories of a resilient, innovative and enduring Romanian culture and people. In a visit to the Obor market I enjoyed the best skinless sausages, fresh pear and cheese with hot mulled wine. That dynamic market experience was filled with vibrant color, fragrance and tastes!! We hopped on a local tram to another neighborhood terrace and was served a platter of traditional cheese, bread, spreads, sliced sausage, pork fat and onion. There I learned more about Romanian culinary traditions and it tasted wonderful! Also paired it with a delightful glass of white Romanian wine! I highly recommend Angelica as a highly knowledgeable, kind host and fun guide for touring and tasting Bucharest… even in the winter!!!

A fantastic tour of the city with some great food! - I was the only person on this tour as I visited during the off season, but my guide Anjelica was fantastic! She was very personable, and knowledgeable about the city - pointing out the various kinds of architecture, the history behind each of the neighbourhoods we visited, and introducing me to the various kinds of food we tasted: how they were prepared, the contexts in which they are eaten, and good pairings for each of them. I particularly liked learning about branza de burduf, which is a cheese that is matured by wrapping it in fir tree bark! Anjelica adapted well in the face of adversity, as one of the restaurants we were going to visit was closed due to the holidays, but she quickly found us a replacement! Anjelica even advised me on some nice foods to try after my tour, and pointed out some good restaurants they were available at.

Great tour, delivered in a considerate and friendly style - Angelica is a really friendly young woman who is very proud of her country and she explained so much about it and the capital city. She allowed the tour to go on much longer than advertised, which was most kind, as I was the only guest! I gained a good understanding of some of the buildings and plenty about the history of the area. The food was typical Romanian and plentiful: I even had to turn down some of it! Local sausages were great and there was the treat of a doughnut at the end.
