More than a walk, A cultural exchange with Mihaela - Let's call it luck, having the guide all by myself, just a walk that turns out to be a remarkable exchange of information and knowledge with Mihaela. She was the loveliest person with so much wisdom and love sharing with dedication from the history of Bucharest. I felt like walking with an old friend. I believe it's worth it, the lovely history behind Bucharest and Romania is worth to be listened too from such dedicated guides. It's was just excellent

First time in Bucharest - Mara was amazing! She’s knowledgeable and very kind. The tour ended up being for the two of us only and she really personalised the experience, we covered the entire city centre and her explanation was complete, well focused on history and local culture with useful tips and suggestions to enjoy our stay in the next days. She’s pleasant and passionate about her job and her country, we can’t recommend her enough! Thank you

Excellent job Mara - Mara was an excellent guide. We started at 2:00 pm and didn’t finish until 5:30 as she covered a lot of the old city. She is friendly and very knowledgeable and passionate about her work. I would certainly recommend her to anyone who wants to see and learn about Bucharest.

Elena is a gem 🫶🏻 - Did the 3hr walking tour with Elena and she was a total gem. So friendly and pleasant to talk with for the tour. She didn't talk too much or too little, just the right amount. We all know the tour guide can make or break the experience. 10/10
