Amazing experience - Elena our guide was absolutely fantastic, she made the tour fun, informative and thought provoking. She was passionate about what she spoke about. We found her to be a fun guide with a caring nature towards all furry waifs and strays. Definitely worth booking this tour.

Not your run of the mill tour - Very quirky unique tour. Guide Itina was informative and entertaining. Half of the tour takes place in a large unique cemetery where you hear about various individuals who met their demise. You take a subway to get there. The last part of the tour she describes the communist downfall and other atrocities. She was a great docent

Fantastic Tour! - This tour was great. Bodgan is incredibly knowledgeable and provides an incredible insight into Bucharest and some of its dark stories. This is truly a city where many things have happened throughout history. I did ask a lot of questions and learnt a lot! Will be recommending this tour to everyone who comes to Bucharest.

Great way to spend three hours - Fantastic, insightful tour on the history of Bucharest (and Romania) for the last 40 years. Elena, our guide, was lovely. Would recommend if you have three hours to spare one afternoon.

Like walking with a friend - Fantastic tour, only 2 of us on it so it was more like walking with a friend than following a tour guide. More historical than gruesome history.
