Great little tour and fab guide - We took this trip on Sunday, only my friend and I had booked so it was a private tour. It was very well organized and the guide was great, very knowledgeable and he answered all sorts of questions that we had. Very interesting to see a different side to a city. Would definitely recommend

Bogdan tour of Bucharest - I had a fantastic time on this tour with Bogdan. He made it far more immersive, especially considering it was 1 to 1. I loved the tour of the graveyard the most. He made you wonder a lot about why certain tombs were the way they were. I loved his recommendation of Excalibur at the end. It made my night. A must do in Bucharest with Bogdan

Interesting but a bit disjointed - Interesting tour but it felt a bit disjointed for me as you meet out north of Bucharest then go south of Bucharest for the cemetery then back to the centre for the rest of the tour. The cemetery site is vast. I wore long trousers as I read there were many insects.

An interesting glimpse at the dark side of Bucharest and Romania - First of all I need to say that Elena was a wonderful guide, she is very enthusiastic and well-read. She made this tour very interesting, we found out about Vlad Draculea, some not-so-known stories from the past, during our visit to the cemetery, but also some sobering facts from the communism era. It might sound strange, but if I could improve one thing, I would make this tour a bit darker. I would make it a bit creepier and heavier! But I understand that perhaps this wouldn't be for everybody. Overall a nice experience, recommended!
