With Doina our guide to Bucharest everything has been perfect.We were 5 friends and we have been very lucky with Doina.Your knowledge and information about everything related to the city and country has been fantastic. A guide to recommending better impossible.
It was an absolutely amazing walking tour of downtown Bucharest, offering a deep dive into the city’s history and architecture. Our guide, Doina, was fantastic — she easily adapted to our small group and focused on the most interesting and relevant details. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bucharest!
Guide was very knowledgeable and learned lot about Bucharest and Romanian history.. Really Delft worth for spending three hour with guide. Even she showed me few good restaurants where I.can find local authentic food
Excellent walking tour by a very pleasant female guide with very good English skills. I learned a lot from her about Romanian history and life in Bucharest. By walking we were able to see some of the less accessible historical venues, such as the previous brothel alley and the side avenues that used to have inns and stables for the merchants. I highly recommend taking this tour for anyone visiting Bucharest for the first time.
Walking is often the best way to see a city and also with a local guide. The tour took just under 5 hours rather than 3, so it was a day trip. The guide was knowledgeable and spoke from personal experience of life under communism. It was very interesting but also sad to see the abandoned buildings and homes. A very good background in understanding Bucharest. Some streets uneven. Do let the guide know if you want to pick up a coffee en route
A most interesting. enjoyable and informative tour with Doina who knew so much and was witty and charming and answered all my questions. An excellent tour with an excellent tour guide. Barry
Doina was very friendly, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and helpful. She went above and beyond the allocated time to show us the town and share as much as she could. She could answer our questions well too. She's well connected and knows the shops and restaurant owners, which was extremely useful when we needed the restroom. We didnt have any issues bringing our little one in a stroller.
This is a 5🌟 star tour thanks to our guide Doina. In 3 hours we saw a lot of Bucharest and aspects that we would never have known about without a guide! Thanks Doina, experience recommended.
Highly recommend! She went above and beyond to show us everything and was extremely knowledgeable about the countries history. She knew the history behind all of the stops we visited. She spent more time with us than she had to and was very friendly. Had a wonderful experience!
A warm welcome to Bucharest. An excellent friendly introduction to Romania and Bucharest’s history particularly the old quarter.
