Visit in French - Our guide Nicolae made us discover the city of Bucharest in 2h30. We learned a lot and saw a lot of unmissable monuments. Thank you for this moment of sharing.

Worth it - An unexpected delight! Bucharest’s mix of old and modern architecture is fascinating. The tour gives a great glimpse into the city’s history, though some spots could use more time for exploration.

Finally, we don't know Bucharest... - We were on time at the rendezvous point. No one joined us... But we were refunded!! (If we had been warned, we would have had time to turn around and find another way to discover the city:-( )

Unreliable - The guide never showed up and money was refunded. He was not reachable by the phone number provided. Very disappointing because time on vacation is limited and we missed the opportunity to do a tour. Had they updated their availability status we could’ve booked with a different guide.

Not a reliable tour operator - The guide was a no show. We waited for 30 minutes, called the company provided phone number (no answer) and finally gave up. Then we saw an email telling us the tour was canceled with no reason noted. The time of the email was 10 minutes after the tour was supposed to start. Bad form all around
