Excellent walking tour of Bucharest. - Our tour guide, Andra, was exceptional. We learned so much history about Bucharest, its architecture, and the people that have shaped the city over time. The food and beverages were a treat because we learned about Romanian culture through food and drink. The visit to market was a highlight of the tour. Highly recommend this tour.

Delicious off the beaten path tour of Bucharest - Great walking tour of Bucharest. Andrea was able to show us areas of the city we would have never experienced on our own. The market was fabulous, riding the bus/tram and all of the different food/drink stops made us feel like locals. I would definitely recommend!
