Elena is a gem 🫶🏻 - Did the 3hr walking tour with Elena and she was a total gem. So friendly and pleasant to talk with for the tour. She didn't talk too much or too little, just the right amount. We all know the tour guide can make or break the experience. 10/10

Great tour - Mara was very knowledgeable impressionable and fun. It was educative and fun. The group was small at 10 so she was able to manage and ensure everyone received a personal touch. Enough breaks and pauses to help people. Will definitely recommend Mara.

Great walking tour - 3 hour walking tour was great. Elena the guide is a lovely lady and very informative about the local area and attractions. So glad we did this tour, as we would have known nothing about the city or known where to go. It gave us our bearings for the rest of our Bucharest visit, as well as learning a lot. Definitely recommend this tour 100%.
