Food/fun/friends - This was one of our favorite tours in Bucharest. Mihaela was very knowledgeable and made everything very interesting. We had so much traditional food! It was definitely worth it but expect to walk and eat.

Plum good history tour - We are four Americans. Everyone rates this a 5 star experience. We are a doctor, a senior engineer and two researchers we loved our guide: Elena. She was very good at explaining different parts of the city and helping us notice things that we may have overlooked if we were alone. It isn’t just a building or a neighborhood- it is a tour of a people and how history and other countries has influenced Romania. We also loved trying all of the foods. Our tops were: Roe with cream, Roasted Eggplant dip and the Plums (chefs kiss)

Fantastic educational tour..with delicious food and beer! - Bogdan is a terrific guide. His knowledge of the history of Romania and Bucharest in particular, was very educational. The tour is conducted away from the touristy old town so you get to see how the people of Bucharest really live. The food etc was also so wonderful as was the market. I would highly recommend this tour with Borden.
