Fascinating and fun - Felt like spending the day with a new friend who was extremely knowledgeable about the culture and architecture of Bucharest. We had a fabulous time. Like school if school involved good food, drinks and fun.

Bucharest to discover - Very nice experience! Our guide greeted us with a delicious hot preztle! Then we started walking and as we walked there he explained the history of the country and showed some historic buildings and explained their style and history. We had lunch in a place called the terrace, all very good and fresh, then we walked to the market where we saw and tasted other typical foods, we stopped at a famous place near the market to eat the legendary traditional sausages, and I must say excellent! To top it off, we ate dessert, freshly baked hot hot! A treat. A tour not to be missed if you really want to know Bucharest! Our guide was very friendly and really prepared!

Worthwhile and Comprehensive - Alex was informative and eager to please. Wonderful introduction to area. Variety of foods, history, and architectural information. Alex is a pleasant responsive guide. May be light for experienced Romanians but worthwhile as an introduction.

An opportunity not to be missed - This tour was without a doubt the highlight of my visit to Romania. Our guide, Bogdan, was kind, helpful and of course extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history of his beautiful country. Getting to see and learn about the city while trying it's local food is my absolute favourite way of getting to know a place and this tour combined them beautifully. Many thanks!

Delicious and Authentic food tour - Our guide Alex was amazing! We had a very informative walking tour learning about some important historical events. He was very articulate and made us feel very welcome. The stops for local food was delicious and very authentic. The stop in the market was so delicious. You do walk quite a bit building a good appetite between stops, and get to experience a bit of local transit on the tram. We highly recommend this tour, beautiful and delicious Bucharest!

Really seeing Bucharest - What a great way to be introduced to Bucharest! Our guide and very knowledgeable Romanian - Alex -did a superb job explaining the history of Bucharest and guided us through the streets of the city sharing history and current conditions. This was information that we would never had known had we not had Alex as our guide. We also had some luscious Romanian treats along the way including Mici, which is my new favorite meat dish. All in all, this was a wonderful, worthwhile, high value tour that I would recommend to anyone visiting Bucharest. If you have an option, I would definitely recommend asking for Alex.
