Sergiu did a fantastic job and could bring the rich history and buildings of Timisoara to life - concentrating interesting facts and insights into just 2 hours. It was fun learning from him, and he could answer all of our questions. Also he spoke english exceptionnelly well. Thank you again! We can highly recommend it!

Good tour, knowledgeable and friendly guide. A good tour not very long but good overview of the city.

It was very hot 40C but we had our walking tour request accepted! Which is the first of many gold stars! We learned so much that there is no other way to learn without a knowledgeable engaging tour guide. We covered all of the old town in the extreme heat and barely noticed the time pass or the heat it was so engaging and interesting. A wonderful city with rich history and culture so very thankful for our tour host to ensure we immersed ourselves in such a wonderful learning experience while enjoying every nuance of what we saw!

He explained so many details I would never have known by just waking around myself. He even helped me retrieve my Covid test results
Response from Host, Oct 2021
Thank you Tracey! I hope you had a good time in Timisoara and consider to come back some day. There is still a lot to explore!

Definitely something we can recommend. We visited Timisoara for the first time, but the way the guide (Ludovic) explained both historically and humorously just about every building and every street and every interesting detail made us feel as if we were already long-time residents. His observations were sometimes really surprisingly good. We would never have got this background of the city without the tour. After the tour was over he even recommended additional experiences for us to ensure that our stay would be memorable. We thank you ! Mr and Mrs Jonsson, Sydney, Australia.

Très bon guide qui a su apporter des éléments d'histoire différents d'une visite traditionnelle. Celui-ci avait toujours des éléments supplémentaires à ajouter. En plus nous avons pu discuter en français avec lui. Visite à faire si vous êtes à Timisoara.
