Pricey, But Exceeded Expectations! - Our experience with Radu was unforgettable—thank you! As a person, he was smart, punctual, warm, funny, and courteous. As a guide, he was communicative, relatable, thorough, and very knowledgeable. He was both informed and informative. His English and enunciation were excellent and easy to understand. He is a storyteller, which we enjoyed as it is a good way to remember information. He engaged us all—including our teenage son. Like other tour guides, he was not in a rush to finish! When my husband and son couldn’t finish the tour because they were too tired after a long and hot day, he kindly offered to come and meet us the next day. He also helped us find a shawarma spot for lunch—which was fresh and friendly—we all really enjoyed it! We are grateful for Radu’s flexibility and kindness. When planning your day, it’s my opinion, which aligns with what I had read, that you should skip the village museum and plan accordingly. We LOVED the parliament tour, the Ceausescu mansion, and the walking tour, as they aligned with Romanian history and what they have gone through. As for communication, I feel once we were connected with Radu, things went smoothly, but this didn’t happen until the night before. Thank you, Radu—we know so much more about Bucharest because of you—we’ll be in touch!

Great tour to visit Bucarest in a single day - The main attractions were in the tour with enough time to explore them. Sebastian, the guide, made tour without any rush giving us a lesson about each place we visited and an about the Romanian history with details of the communist era. It took about eight from the pick up to the drop off. Be prepared to walk a bit and for staircases specially in the parliament building.

A nice day in Bucharest - Excellent day of visit with our tour guide Bogdan with a good walk around the city and a good conversation with our local guide. This tour includes all the big local attractions and our guide made some good recommendations for the rest of our stay as well. Highlight are definitely all attraction tickets are already reserved (seems not reservable online as well) - save time and effort there for sure. The whole day is very smooth from the beginning to the end. Definitely worth the visit if you would like to know more about the city.

All you can enjoy in Bucharest - Have a short weekend stay in Bucharest and would like to dedicate as much time as possible to the city, and realize this tour is perfect! Our tour guide Bogdan show up on-time at hotel and started our day with a walk around in the old town - so many beautiful attractions! We also have many good conversations with him as well about the city, history, culture - definitely a lot of good insights from a local guide! Then the tour continues to visit Palace of Parliament and the Ceaușescu Mansion - all tickets already reserved/booked just show up and visit which is a big plus! Definitely worth it and saves all the waitings in line! (since it may not be that easy for a foreigner to get these tickets - they are not online anyway) After that we visited other places and our guide Bogdan does make some good recommendations when the tour ends in case we have other places that would like to visit in the following days. Feel like we have a better experience with the city and definitely something we would recommend if you have a day in Bucharest.
