Memorable day! - We had a fabulous tour with Marius! He was informative and showed us sights we would not have otherwise seen. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing two different monasteries as well as a beautiful palace. Marius made sure we had cold water to drink throughout the day and even treated us to a Romanian candy bar. I highly recommend this tour!

Highly recommended tour - We did the walking tour with Toni on our first day in Bucharest (to help get our bearings). We were lucky to have Toni to ourselves and he was a great fella! The tour was interesting and informative and he was a professional and polite guide. We learned much more than we ever expected due to his passion for his city and country. Do yourselves a favour and book this tour!

Toni’s tours are AMAZING! - Toni is the best tour guide that you could ask for in Bucharest. We didn’t just book one tour with him, we booked three.! We had Toni all to ourselves for one weekend and we are so grateful that we did. We went with very little understanding of Romania and it’s past, and left feeling so educated and so thankful to have had a guide Who helped us learn, understand, and showed us some of the most important sites that there were in Bucharest. We got to eat at some fantastic restaurants thanks to his recommendations, and got to relax and enjoy our trip as he drove us everywhere we needed to go during our tours. He was so patient and kind as we had two young children with us that sometimes we had to stop and take care of before we could continue on with our tour. I highly recommend booking any tours Toni, you won’t regret it! Thank you Toni for such an amazing weekend and treating us like family!

Cool experience - highly recommend it! - Would highly recommend this experience! Toni is super knowledgeable, really nice and passionate about touring, as well as accommodating to our questions and interests I.e. we asked him to incorporate more details about communism in the tour, which he gladly did and adapted the route as well to this request. Also we got lots of other recommendations from him regarding other spots of interest in Bucharest (including restaurants for example) as well as for the rest of our trip within Romania. Really enjoyed it and would recommend it further for sure!

An informative adventure into historic Bucharest. - Visiting the opera house and learning about the palace were notably fantastic, and the whole tour was really informative. Our guide Toni made it a really enjoyable experience and was informative when answering our questions.
