Fantastic tour and can’t say enough about our guide, Ioan, who was very friendly and knowledgeable, and spoke English beautifully.
My wife and I were on vacation from Washington DC and I anted to learn more about Jewish history in Romania. The Jewish theatre was of particular nite as it has direct ties to New York, Vaudeville and Broadway. It is literally a living piece of history and to walk through it and meet the people running it is a wonderful privilege.
We also enjoyed the beautiful synagogue and the museum. Ioan was well prepared and had tons of stores and visual aids to help us with context so we understood what we were seeing and why and how it all fit together. He made us feel like old friends visiting his city.
Would absolutely recommend without hesitation.

Fabulous Jewish tour of Bucharest.
Laura is an excellent guide. We enjoyed the tour very much. The synagogues were very interesting as was the Jewish theater and the Jewish Museum.
Laura is very knowledgeable and explained the history as we walked through the Jewish area.

Learn more about the history not told
This is important history generally untold. The Jewish experience in Romania was long and rich in terms of the contributions made to the communities in which they lived. Mostly the citizens of Romania kept silent when friends and neighbors were threatened.

A tour of the Jewish Bucharest
Laura was so special, taking time to make sure we saw everything. Her personality and thoughtfulness made our half day tour of the Jewish places in Bucharest a true event. My wife and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND spending a day with Laura.

Making a Jewish ghost-town come alive
My husband and I took Laura's half-day tour. In addition to the highlights quite rightly touted - the beautiful Choral and Great Synagogues (including the sobering Holocaust exhibit at the latter), and the unexpected ongoing Yiddish theatre, we were able to get a bare sense of a breathing Jewish neighborhood. Laura had a special interest in the Jewish architects of homes on the streets surrounding these more known sites, and one can see hints of the Art Deco inspired buildings housing a once-flourishing Jewish community - sadly now a ghost-town. (Though there is still a small ongoing orthodox congregation at the Choral and Sukkot preps were underway at the Great synagogue.) I was grateful that- through her research and planning of the tour - one can have such a rich experience. Thanks, Laura!

Fantastic Bucharest tour of culture and history
Absolutely fabulous! Well organized tour. Can't recommend it enough to anybody visiting Bucharest. Every stop we went to we learned something new and it was a nice balance of culture and history with charismatic hosts along the way . Jacky, our guide was one of the best guides that I've ever experienced on any tour.
