Marius was extremely knowledgeable and gave great historical information. He guided us to all sites we saw on tiktok and some hidden gems. He was pleasant and it was a very good experience.
Great tour and a fantastic way to see Bucharest up close. With this private tour, you're not lost in a large group, struggling to hear and see. Instead, you see and hear everything. Our guide, Manuela, was a Bucharest native with phenomenal local knowledge. The day prior, she personally confirmed all arrangements with us. And on the morning of the tour, she contacted us again to confirm everything before she arrived. Manuela hit all the walking-distance attractions, and delivered her commentary with the detailed knowledge of a historian and the friendly style of a polished host. As we were interested in food and beverage stops for later in the visit, she took great care to suggest multiple stops and local favorite dishes. We've visited more than 40 countries and toured with hundreds of guides. We highly recommend this tour. Don't hesitate! BOOK IT!
I'm so thrilled to hear about your wonderful experience and your appreciation for the care and detail provided in your tour. Your recommendation means a lot, and I'm glad it enhanced your visit to Bucharest! Marius
The tour guide, Marius, was beyond superb is so many ways: Knowledge, historical briefings with occasional photos on a personal computer, stories not well known, sense of humor and allowing us to do minor deviations. His tour of major sites within talking distance for the three hour made all the hot spots (and other placesnot well known) come alive. We can only highly recommend him for anyone that would like to know about the history of Romania, Bucharest, the major attractions/churches/museums/restaurants/ bars/etc. that make this city unique and welcoming to visitors. Superlatives fall short!
I’m truly honored by your kind words and thrilled you had such an enriching experience during the tour. Your recommendation means a great deal. Wishing you many more enjoyable journeys! Marius
While in Bucharest I wanted to take advantage of this moment to discover the history of Romania and this city. This day was an opportunity to discover both the recent Communist past and the older history of Romania. It was a real pleasure to be able to exchange with Marius the guide on his memories of this communist past and his knowledge of the history of Romania. This tour takes place at our own pace and leaves room for discovery. I recommend it for all curious people and fond of historical anecdotes of all kinds which is my case:)
Merci beaucoup pour ce retour chaleureux, je suis ravi d'apprendre que la visite et les échanges ont contribué à rendre votre journée enrichissante. Vos recommandations signifient beaucoup ! 😊 Marius
Great tour! Highly recommend Marius! Good for families with teens and young kids! He even helped us navigate the metro back to our hotel.
Wonderful day with Marius! Highly recommend him! He kept my kids engaged which can be hard as I have a 7, 12 and 17 year old!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled your family had an enjoyable time, and I'm glad the kids stayed engaged throughout the tour. I hope to see you all on another adventure soon! Marius
Marius was an excellent guide. Told us all the relevant information, and even showed past pictures of the places we visited!
Thank you for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the tour and found the added visuals engaging. Your satisfaction means a lot to me. Safe travels! Marius
Highly recommended. We learned a lot on this informative and interesting tour. Marius was kind enough to make changes to the itinerary to suit our shortened timetable. A pity we could not do the full 3 hours as there was so much more we could have covered.
Hi! Thank you for your kind review. I am happy that despite the time constraints of your travel plans, you've had a pleasant experience with insights on the past and the present of life in Bucharest. I look forward to your hopefully extended next visit in Romania! Warm wishes, Marius
Marius is a perfect guide. He is very knowledgeable of this, his native city. His English is excellent, He was very careful to check is I was comfortable with his pace. The sights he chose gave a picture of the city in many of its historical eras. And, he is very personable. I was lucky enough to be his only client on this tour. Highly recommended.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful words! I'm delighted to know you enjoyed the walking tour and found it informative and comfortable. It was a pleasure showing you the historic sights of the city. Best regards, Marius.
