Highly Recommended Tour / Value for Money
Took the tour with my wife on August 13, for 11am. Valentin arrived on time to pick us at the Hotel, Sheraton Bucharest. It was a 2 hour tour of Bucharest north and south/ old town. Valentin had a very good knowledge of Romanian History, attraction sites and was very professional about the service. We learnt a lot during this tour about the culture, history, food etc of Romanian. He also gave useful tips about local restaurants etc. This is a very good Tour and it really made our first visit to Bucharest very satisfying. This is highly recommended for visitors to Bucharest north. You will achieve a lot within the 2 hour tour. It,s a value for money tour…with stops for pictures . Valentin also takes good pictures. Thanks Valentin.

Not a great experience
I booked a tour online for a 9 pm slot, received a confirmation and all seemed fine. We planned our day and evening accordingly. Then about half an hour before the tour time, I saw a WhatsApp message that said that the tour was cancelled. This did not leave us any time to make an alternative arrangement. Not a great experience.
Operator response
Hello 👋 Thank you for your review but I want to make clear that this review doesn’t reflect the reality. You booked the tour at 16:55 and at 17:41 I sent the message that the activity is fully booked and because the reservation system is not updating automatically you could see the availability unfortunately. So in less than 1h after the booking was made I informed you and more than 3h before the tour was scheduled. I am sorry that you are not fair and just want to leave 1* review even if you don’t have the chance to actually know me and try the experience. This review is just pure spite intended to damage my reputation. Wish you a specTukular day!

Bucharest Private TukTuk Tour
Valentin is a fabulous TukTuk tour guide and driver. He has a wealth of knowledge and was able to get us into areas that are upfront and close to the sites. He was also kind enough to bring us water and a snack for the tour. Thanks!

The best way to see the city!!!
Valentin was specular in his knowledge, driving skills, and photographic abilities. Highly recommend and the only way to truly see Bucharest. He was able to reschedule our tour to another day as the rain storm would have made the tour rather unpleasant. The authentic communist candy bar, warm wool blanket, and bottle of water was also appreciated. There was four of us and each one of us was very impressed. Thank you so much

A great introduction to Bucharest
We had the most wonderful 2 hour introduction to Bucharest by doing this tour. We learnt so much from Robert, our guide, about the city, it's history both good and bad. This tour is so worth doing before any other sightseeing in Bucharest as it gives you a good grounding in what to see and do later. Robert had knowledge, spoke well and was easy to understand. We can highly recommend this tour.

Tuk tuk excursion in Bucharest, a true 5.0 experience.
We were looking for a private tour experience for our short visit to Bucharest,Romania . The tuk tuk excursion popped up on TripAdvisor with its 5.0 rating and peaked our curiosity, as I had read that tuk tuk trips really vary in quality from country to country. Well, that 5.0 is truly merited!! We sceduled a 2 hour city tour. Robert, one of the owners of this small company, met us at our hotel entrance. He was very cordial and asked us what types of sights we were interested in seeing so he could plot a course . The vehicle was pristine, excellently maintained and easily accessed, even for my husband who uses a cane. The drive thru the city was well organized and because of the size of the vehicle, he could easily and safely pull over to small areas to afford us better photographic opportunities and share with us more indepth information about the sights. Robert is a native of the area, well educated in it's history and extremely fluent in English. He is an excellent conversationalist not at all like a typical tour guide repeating a bland narrative. He had some additional visual aides (photographs) of areas that were destroyed by the revolution in 1989 as well as some showing the devastation to buildings from a powerful earthquake in the 1990s. It made the history more easily visualized as the city has repaired/rebuil those areas. He spoke with first hand knowledge of the culture,education etc of Bucharest. It was a very very good experience for us on our first trip ever to Bucharest. I would readily recommend this tuk tuk trip without any reservations whatsoever and strongly agree with their 5.0 rating!! Thank ypu Robert for sharing you city with us.

Thank you Robert xx
