The parliament building is so heavy, it crushed Ceausescu! - It is an eye opening experience visiting the parliament building and Ceausescu’s former residence. My guide Radu is very friendly and helpful which make this tour very pleasant!

Bucharest steeped in history - Valerica was a fount of knowledge about Romanian history and the sites we visited. We visited parliament palace and Ceausescu’s mansion with many short informational stops along the way.

Jaw dropping buildings - I managed to mess up on our start. My fault because the tour company had provided us with all of the information in plenty of time. My only excuse was the information on the Viator ticket was totally wrong. Anyway our driver Gabriel and manager Radu rescued us and we didn't miss anything. A great day visiting 2 amazing buildings and getting an insight into the recent history of Romania.

The best tour service for expats in Bucharest - Fatntastic service provided by the host. A few friends of mine visited from Italy and United States so I decided to show them around. Our host spoke perfect english, picked us up, drove us around, took care of all logistics. This is THE TOUR to do in Bucharest.
