Interesting and informative - Guide on tour (3pm 3/6/24) was excellent.Very interesting and informative. Enjoyed the cemetery tour and learned lots about Romania's history. He was punctual and gave us lots of rest stops due to hot weather. Would highly recommend this tour.

Unique tour - This was definitely unique from other tours we did. A large part of the tour was spent in the graveyard, recalling different "ghost stories" from different periods of time. Elena was an amazing tour guide, very knowledgeable and engaging, she even provided us with snacks and bought us all bottles of water from the shop.

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

Enjoyed Walk on Dark side (hit play on Eddie and The Cruisers) - Helena's obvious love of her city and happily sharing her customers ones as well
I know the big picture, historically
Helena's your is the spice that turns a good meal to a banquet

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.
