This tour is a very great combination of food, history, culture and local sights. We really enjoyed our time in the Old Town learning and tasting, the tram ride to another area of town, the main market, was a learning opportunity about the communist buildings. The Market was enormous and quite interesting. The food we tasted represented the many influences in Bucharest and Romania. I strongly recommend this tour. Andreea is friendly, informative, and a good listener She is very willing to engage and share about all aspects of Romainian life. Her English is excellent.
