What a great afternoon - What a great afternoon. We learnt so much and Ed was a fabulous guide.
He was very knowledgable and explained things really well and the whole experience taught us so much.
If you’re coming in winter wrap up warm - there were times we felt very cold when we were standing listening to Ed.

Amazing tour with the best guide - We had an absolutely fantastic experience on our recent tour of Bucharest, thanks entirely to our amazing guide, Luicia! From start to finish, the tour was a highlight of our trip.
Despite the challenging rain, snow, and cold weather, Luicia's enthusiasm never wavered. She was a ray of sunshine, ensuring we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves the entire time. Her knowledge of the city's history and culture was extensive, and she answered every single question we had with patience and expertise.
What truly set this experience apart was Luicia's great sense of humour and engaging personality. She made the history and stories of Bucharest come alive, making the time fly by. It felt less like a formal tour and more like exploring the city with a knowledgeable friend.
We highly recommend Luicia to anyone visiting Bucharest, especially first-timers! She is a true professional and a fantastic example of an excellent tour guide.

Very insightful visit of the city centre - I really recommend this visit because you can understand the history of the city and of the Country. This helped me to appreciate even more the beauty of the monuments and the Rumanian culture.
Lucia was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable, clear and very approachable.
