Fung and informative tour!

Cristi was an amazing tour guide. Was a great experience for my whole family. My 8 year old daughter said it was her favorite tour we did on our trip. Would 100% recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get the most and best possible info about Bucharest!

The highlight of our trip to Bucharest!

This tour was the very first thing we did when we arrived in Bucharest and it really helped shape our experience and enjoyment of the city. Radu is a fabulous guide, and person. It makes a difference when the guide really cares about the city and wants to provide the best experience, Radu was patient in answering all the questions we had. We would see what seemed like a beautiful building, then Radu would explain the history, and then show us pictures of how that building looked in the past, and why, truly fascinating! Because of this tour, it helped us understand the different influences at play over time and the resilience of the people. Armed with this knowledge, and the passion with which Radu brought the city to life, we were able to use this perspective to enjoy and appreciate our stay in Bucharest far more than if we hadn’t taken this tour.

Excellent tour with Cristi

I really enjoyed this tour. Cristi was much more than a tour guide, he was a story teller and a history expert on Romania and Bucharest. I was lucky enough to be the only one on this tour so we were able to spend an extra couple hours roaming the city and learning about some additional sites. I highly recommend this tour and if you're lucky enough to get Cristi, you're in for a real treat. A++++++
