Perfect walking tour - Andrian was a perfect tour guide! He showed us all the best parts of the city center of Bucharest. He gave his own insides and showed his favorite places. He was punctual, professional and kind.

Guide was full of knowledge! - Excellent tour....really helped me understand Bucharest past and present! So much history and information. We covered ancient times to the present, visited churches, symphony halls and historical areas. The memorials for those who lost their lives during the overthrow of the communists was also very enlightening. I knew a bit about this, but learned a great deal more. Also showed us some excellent restaurants and places to visit. Lots of information on the architecture. Bucharest being known as 'Little Paris' was new to me. Very interesting to see the influence of the French, Turks, Italians, and the communist buildings.... Lots to see here. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Bucharest. Definitely will provide valuable information on the history of this nation including their monarchy and communist past. We covered a lot of ground in 2 hours. I would highly recommend this tour.

City - walk with fantastic guide! - Meeted up outside the hotel (worth taking a look in, lovely interior and architecture) alone and was welcomed by a nice guide, Adrian. Ha has a lot of knowledge about the city, history, the people and a dose of humor. Speaks good English, easy to understand. Really recommend Adrian and his trip😊

Just go! It's great! - Great little tour, the lessons at the last 2 stops were best. Very responsive to questions. I would change two things if I could go again. I wish the tour was a little longer with stop(s) inside of some things. Of course for a bit higher price. Also a simple map of the tour route and other things to see in old town from Adrian would be awesome! Adrian was friendly, well spoken, monitored the group and have a great tour!
