Alex was an exceptional guide giving us a great overview of Bucharest with the perfect balance of walking/driving. He had a great depth of knowledge regarding all the sights and you get to see everything but it doesn’t feel rushed. Alex helped us choose other places to see in more depth that we would not have known about without him. Highly recommend!

Alex our guide was right on time, we drove to specific historic sites and were able to learn more about each and take pictures. Expertly run tour with just the right amount of driving and walking. Alex was terrific and we got a full 4 hour tour!

Alex is a wonderful guide, extremely professional and knowledgeable. He took us to the heritage village, the Lipscani (old town), stopped for pictures at the Arcul De Triumf, the national Museum of Romanian history to see King Carol and Queen Elisabeth’s crowns as well as Dacian gold and silver treasures, the Stavropoleos Church, & past the national Bank of Romania.
If we ever come to Bucharest again, we will definitely hire him.

The driver was very accommodating for the change of pickup date due to my husband’s illness even through the booking company didn’t agree. On the morning of the pickup date, the driver came on time. He was very helpful with our bags.
