Great service and tour - Thank you for an excellent tour experience! We had the chance to visit the most important sites, and Radu was incredibly helpful and attentive. He even took care of the tickets for both the Ceaușescu House and the Parliament, allowing us plenty of time to explore at each location. Visiting the Parliament was definitely the highlight of the tour. Radu also shared valuable tips for the rest of our trip, which we truly appreciated. Thank you so much for making our visit so enjoyable!

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.
