An excellent insight to living in Romania through the centuries. - An excellent insight to living in Romania through the centuries. It was fascinating to see all the different building styles and methods. It's a lovely environment to wander around. Also good to have stalls selling local produce and goods Well worth a few hours visit

An entertaining and informative afternoon - Our guide, Mihai Vataselu, is intelligent, personable, knowledgeable, and entertaining. He is one of the best tour guides we have had the pleasure to meet. His knowledge and English skills made our tour of the Village Museum in Bucharest much more than just seeing old buildings. We learned about the area of the country and the how and why the people living there created the homes they did. Mihai selected a boutique winery shop for our last stop where we sampled four delicious Romanian wines and a charcuterie plate of meats and cheeses while learning the history of Romanian wine making and getting to know each other. We highly recommend Mihai as your tour guide

Fun, informative, and delicious wines! - Mihai our host was an absolute pleasure and very knowledgeable about the history of Romania, the life of romanian peasants in the last few centuries, and romanian wine (my girlfriends favourite part of the tour!) I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bucharest, anyone with even a passing interest in history and wine will have a great time with this excellent guide. The Village museum itself is a wonderful experience, the centuries old churches were a particular highlight, the artwork adorning it is stunning

Well worth a visit - A most beautiful place to spend a day out of Bucharest. Need a good half day to get around it properly. The park next door and the lake is also just wonderful.

Bucharest trip - The village has several buildings that were a real house from people all over the country. They moved the entire house to this village in order to recreate a real condition. Our tour guide, Mr. Bordan, knows a great deal of the Romenian history. In the wine tasting, we had a opportunity to taste 4 types of Romenian wine.

Excellent business outing idea - The guide was very professional, had extensive knowledge about Romanian history and even the Romanians in the group learned new interesting facts. The wine bar was very cozy and the owner/staff are friendly and open. Excellent parings of wine and platers made this team outing a success.

Very knowledgeable guide - We were a group of 25 people and we all were impressed by quality of information received from our tour guide, adding tons of value to the visit and making it memorable. Most us already visited Village Museum before, but never with a guide, and you could really feel you learn something new at each step. Everyone had a good time. At the end, at the wine bar, there is also the possibility to buy some wine.

Nice open-air museum. - A nice experience, since the museum is located entirely outdoors and there is the possibility of visiting the traditional houses. A sore point is that over 50% are closed by padlocks and therefore only part of them can be seen! I report this inconsistency and hope they can be reopened for future users.
