Unreliable

Yaremis_B, Jul 2024

The guide never showed up and money was refunded. He was not reachable by the phone number provided. Very disappointing because time on vacation is limited and we missed the opportunity to do a tour. Had they updated their availability status we could’ve booked with a different guide.

Not a reliable tour operator

Brian_M, May 2024

The guide was a no show. We waited for 30 minutes, called the company provided phone number (no answer) and finally gave up. Then we saw an email telling us the tour was canceled with no reason noted. The time of the email was 10 minutes after the tour was supposed to start. Bad form all around

There was no tour !

Kevin_S, Oct 2023

There was no experience as viators tour providers cancelled our tour with only a couple of hours notice !!

David_P, Sep 2023

The guides knowledge , the sights and the insights to the history were illuminating. well worth it. walking a city is the best way to see it.

Great start to our holiday

Peter_V, Apr 2023

Our first day in Bucharest and we chose this tour. It turned out to be great introduction to the old town, very knowledgeable guide. Highly recomended.

The guide did not appear at the confirmed appointment

Valeria_C, Mar 2026

The guide didn't show up. Despite the help center trying to contact the guide after about 20 minutes of waiting I had to ask for the tour to be cancelled. In the previous days I had tried to get in touch with those who ran the tour but they had never responded.

Bucarest una scoperta !

Elena_D, Jul 2023

La guida eccezionale una persona veramente preparata. Una città che mi è piaciuta molto al di sopra di ogni aspettativa. Grazie alla guida abbiamo conosciuto la storia della città e i punti più salienti.

Escursione interessante!

Gianna_F, Jul 2023

Maria è stata una guida meravigliosa, ci ha raccontato molti aneddoti, facendoci rivivere momenti storici di fronte a edifici, statue e strade. Senza di lei il centro di Bucarest sarebbe stato un po' meno affascinante seppur sempre bellissimo!

Bellissima passeggiata nel centro di Bucarest

Christian_B, Mar 2023

Bellissima passeggiata alla scoperta del centro di bucarest, con la nostra guida il sig. Nicolae. Ci è venuto a prendere direttamente in hotel, da dove siamo partiti per un esperienza molto piacevole in cui Nicolae oltre a spiegarci i vari edifici, ci ha raccontato tanto sulla storia di bucarest e della Romania. Sono state 3 ore veramente interessanti. Grazie a Nicolae persona molto preparata. Sicuramente un esperienza che consiglio.
