90% of the Romanian people are Christian Orthodox and still we are quite a religious country, this monastery is and iconic monument which represents very well the features of the Orthodox heritage and architecture.

An unforgettable walking tour with Ed I joined Ed's walking tour and I was extremely happy with the experience. Ed is not just knowledgeable - he truly _lives_ the history. He knows every story, every hidden detail, and has a very dramatic, engaging way of presenting it that keeps you hooked from the first minute to the last. You don't just walk and listen, you feel like you're part of the story. The history of Bucharest really came alive.
The walking tour was very disappointing. Our guide, Daniel, arrived at the meeting point with a cigarette and a drink and continued smoking throughout the entire tour. At one point, he was even smoking two cigarettes at the same time. There was also very little explanation or commentary during the walks between stops, which made the tour feel unstructured and lacking in substance. Overall, the experience was not professional and fell well below my expectations.
Don, our guide give an excellent history of Romania and explain why there are so many styles of building. It is an excellent introduction to Bucharest
Our tour guide had a great depth of knowledge of Bucharest and Romania. He kept us moving and didn't anyone. Highly recommend!
The tour was interesting, the guide spoke clearly, was polite and provided the goods, highly recommended. History, culture, architecture and a stop at a cafe
Eduard is entertaining, knowledgeable and simply a pleasant guy to hang out with on a walking tour. My husband and I really enjoyed the tour and learned a lot about Bucharests history and culture. We did this tour first and it introduce us to the city which then helped us prioritize the rest of our time.
Ed had great historical knowledge of Bucharest and Romania. Tour saw all important sights. Would highly recommend. Tour was just long enough. September weather was great.
Ed was a very pleasant guide with a lot of knowledge and humor. It was a nice walkingtour through Boekarest. All the famous sites were visited. Thank you
Very informative guide, which bought the city and its history alive .
Dan is an excellent guide, articulate, knowledgeable, friendly, amusing and helpful. I thoroughly recommend this trip. I learnt a lot about Romania and Bucharest.
