Educational Tour By Mihai - First of all the weather was not great, so we were prepared. We had a text from Mihai to say bring brollies and coats as it forecast rain. We meet Mihai at 12.00pm, McDonald, Bulevardal General which is about 30-40 minutes walk from our hotel. Its a 3 hour walk so wear sensible shoes for this tour. The tour was about Roma (Gypsies ) through its past, present and hopefully the future without any discrimination. We did try avoid the rain a couple of times, but Mihai knew where to go for shelter. He took us to a café, so we could have a break for half an hour and to dry off. Before we finished Mihai took us to a traditional Roma workshop where contemporary jewelry etc is all made by hand. which is based in own home -Mesteshukar ButiQ .We were showed around the place we brought some items but you don't have to feel obligated to buy. We had a lovely time, well educated, despite the rain. with a different view and insight to Roma and what they went through (and some still do) Well done Mihai and thank you.👍

Interesting, informative, surpassing our expectations! - This tour was something different & a real eye opener . Mihai was very personable, knowledgeable & considerate to our needs (e.g.shade, rest). During this tour we walked for over 2 hrs in a variety of streets & showed us buildings & areas related to the history of the Roma people. Mihai was passionate in his delivery & had a personal connection & empathy to the Roma people. He was very knowledgeable regarding current legislation.The tour was well paced with time to sit down, have a coffee & ask questions. It was an excellent tour & we really enjoyed it.
