This was an awesome walking tour. So much information and so many sites fitted in. A wonderful guide. Don’t book anything immediately after though, our 3hour tour went on for nearly four. We got a really good description of Romania’s history and growth whilst viewing so many of its monuments. Great value
Thank you for the great review, I'm glad you had a great time and learned about the history and culture of Romania and Eastern Europe.
Alina was an extraordinary guide. She had a lot of knowledge about the town and share them with us. Highly recommended

Enthusiastic, knowledgeable local provides passionate tour of important local landmarks. A great introduction to the city and Romania.
Hi Mike, It was great meeting you and it's nice that you liked and learned about the sights in Bucharest.
Of my six weeks touring Europe, this was the best one on one walking tour. My guide had a mastery of the sites that were presented and added a local flavor to the tour.
Hi William , thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review. It was great meeting you and being a part of your journey across Europe.
Our guide, Alina, did an excellent job of showing us around the historical area of Bucharest. She was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, fun and took time to thoroughly answer our questions. We highly recommended this tour.
Thank you for the nice review. It was great meeting you and having a lovely time together in the city.
This is a great tour overall. Alina is very passionate. I did get her sense of humor and most of the points she was trying to make. I’m not sure if everyone else would. The tour is mostly focused on architecture. It was very interesting and I appreciated Alina telling stories of growing up under ceaucesu.
Thank you for the nice review. I am glad you had a good day in Bucharest.
Great afternoon with Alina hearing the history of Bucharest. She gave us lots of great information in the history and architecture, arts and cultural of Bucharest and Romania.
Thank you for the lovely review. I'm glad you had a pleasant time and got a big picture of București.
Great informative walking tour Apple Watch says 17000+ (not fast pace) steps you see everything! Alina is fab fully animated enthusiastic and so knowledgeable great insight into Bucharest, lots of photo opportunities a fab 3 hours in -4 weather well worth it a big thank you ☺️
Thank you for the lovely review, I Think that may be a slight typo on the amount of Steps as the tour is around 2 km at the max, maybe 1700 steps.. it was lovely to meet you and I'm glad you had a nice time and got the big picture of Bucuresti.
Alina provided a thorough tour and explanation of Bucharest's history and architecture. It could have been a little more lively, but her knowledge was unquestionable.
This was a very comprehensive tour of Bucharest. It was only my wife and I on the tour and we got to see everything (almost too much). The focus was mostly on the building and architecture and how it changed through time but it did provide some historical context as well. It did last a bit long than expected and it got a bit repetitive. Overall, a good way to see Bucharest.
Thankyou, I'm glad you enjoyed your time with us in Bucuresti.
