10/10. What a great way to see the city and learn about its history. Our guide was fantastic. He has a special way of telling stories that you can’t stop paying attention. We learned so much and got a great understanding of the country and all it has gone through. Very recommendable for sure.
Lucia was a great guide! She was very clear and shared a lot of knowledge in an engaging way. We had a lovely time and learned lots about the city.
This is a must do tour to gain a true incite into the history of the city and learn about the different architecture aswell as the Revolution. Our tour guide Radu, was a very personable young man who not only knew all about the history but was also able to answer questions on things not part of the tour. It was impressive how knowledgeable he was and is a true asset to the company. Wishing Radu a bright & successful future.
Ed was fantastic. Very passionate and clearly loves Bucharest and his family roots. Highly recommend.
Extremely interesting and easy walk. Our guide, Ed, was brilliant, factual and very knowledgeable as you would expect. He was amusing and not at all boring. He gave us some information about his own family during communist times which was fascinating and brought the whole experience to life.
Daniel is a hoot! His tour with teach you a lot about Bucharest and keep you in stitches the whole time. His true calling is standup comedy. He was also very generous with suggestions on places to visit and restaurants to try. Highly recommended
Good tour, a nice balance of info, history, walking, stories and humour.
Dan is clearly very passionate about Bucharest and history in general. Recommended.
This tour had quite a bit of walking but was a great introduction to Bucharest. Our guide Eduard was very knowledgeable and personable. The pace was good and it was a good way to start off our time here. I would definitely recommend Ed and this tour.
Radu was fantastic! Great explanations of Bucharest’s history, with some humour and personal anecdotes.
I felt safe travelling alone on this tour, Radu made sure we were all together at each point.
Fab!
We had a fabulous tour with Ed. He was extremely informative, very charming, and helpful. He was the best thing about our trio to Bucharest!
Our guide Ed was clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Bucharest. The walking tour takes you to many of the key monuments and Ed was able to explain the (sometimes very complicated) historical importance of each as well as making it entertaining. Thank you Ed for a great tour. Would definitely recommend this tour for anyone looking for an introduction to Bucharest and it's history.
I ended up taking the bike tour from the same provider, and it was fun and informative. We managed to cover 3 different parts of Bucharest with distinct histories and architecture.
Our tour guide Eduard was excellent and provided very insightful stories from countries historical periods and how Bucharest evolved in those times.
He made sure we had time to enjoy each stop and later on provided very useful information about places we can explore on our own.
All in all it was an excellent tour!
We had the most amazing and knowledgeable tour guide - Radu. He was wonderful. Exceeded expectations and we could not have imagined anyone better. Obviously it is a walking tour, so be prepared to walk around. We obviously loved the walking tour and getting to see the city on foot.
Lucia is one of the best guides I’ve ever had, she texted us a list of recommendations after the tour and was very knowledgeable. Thank you so much Lucia!
Ed was a great guide! He was incredibly knowledgeable about Bucharest and very enthusiastic about his county. I would highly recommend his tour.
Really nice tour because it makes you know the main attractions in Bucharest in short time. Our guide Andy was the best
The tour guide is super knowledgeable of the history . We saw a lot of Bucharest in 2 hours or so. He is passionate about the story telling
Amazing experience and learned a lot! Our guide Ed was very knowledgeable and friendly and we really enjoyed the tour
This tour focused on history of Bucharest and was really informative. The pace was good - the city is loud so you have to get close to hear everything sometimes. We revisited areas from the tour to find out more and look inside building such as the Parliament.
Very good walking tour, very informative guide (Lucia) who brought the city and country alive with her information and the tour took in some super sights. Walked 4.5km at an easy pace. Great orientation tour. Recommended.
Good tour. Very informative about the history and current political climate in Bucharest. I’m happy I took the tour.
Great tour! Excellent guide with a lot of stories about Romanian and Bucharest history. Daniel gave us a lot of tips for our stay.
My girlfriend and I are visiting Romania for three weeks. She is Romanian but hasn't visited the country in over 20 years. For our first stop in Bucharest she compiled a list of landmarks to visit. We decided to do Bucharest Highlights Walking Tour to learn as much as possible about these landmark sites. Eduard, our tour guide, was friendly and extremely knowledgeable about Romanian history and it's centuries of changes and architectural influences by many different cultures. He was respectful of the group member's ages and diversity and made sure we were shaded from the hot sun at each stop point. My girl and I truly appreciated Ed's clarity in describing each Bucharest landmark. Thanks to Ed, we learned a lot about Romanian history and its complexity of architectural designs.
First impressions are everything. Daniel started a tour with 10 of us and immediately took control with his personality. Mixing humor into over 200 years of history to kick off our tour was a great touch. It transformed the next 3 hours into a walk around old town Bucharest into a history lesson. The town has tragic elements mixed with an impressive culture. We had a wonderful time while learning history and seeing the true Bucharest. Cheers Daniel!
Absolutely amazing . Tour takes you around all the highlights very friendly and knowledgeable guide highly recommended
Great history and culture tour. Very comprehensive. Ed was enthusiastic and knowledgeable and fun! Highly recommend!
2.5 hour walking tour around older area of the city. Lots of history that was not well known to us. Very interesting!
Good overview of the history of the city. The guide was knowledgable and informative - and interesting!
High overview of the city, important places, some history and some local food spots. Good walking exercise 😀.
Lucia was very professional tour guide.
Lucia gave us an excellent mix of Romania's rich and sometimes dark history and the occasional joke to lighten things up. It was a very fun, well paced tour.
