Superb! - Lucia was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. She gave us a very informative and well guided tour. The tour and the city was easy to navigate by bike. Highly recommend for anybody interested in seeing a city in a unique way with plenty of good conversation.

Informative tour - Fair to say that Bucharest is not the most cycle friendly city. But we were skillfully steered around by our guide Andrei (including a well timed break during a brief shower.) Andrei has a first class knowledge of Bucharest, and its history which he shared engagingly. He also gave us a few useful tips for the rest of our visit

Really good overview and introduction to Bucharest - Joined two others for a small group tour. Was a great way to see the main sites of central Bucharest. Our guide Andrea was very friendly and knowledgable. Told us a lot about the history and culture of Romania and Bucharest. Also gave us a bottle of water and a snack which was welcome as it was a hot July day. This was perfect for me as a first time visitor and what I wanted, hence five stars. For others just be aware that the four hour tour is mostly talking, with some cycling. If you want less historic chat then I think the two hour tour covers the same sites. For the organisers: If possible I would suggest adding a little more cycling to the four hour tour - maybe going a little further out - but perhaps busy roads and similar make that tricky. Thank you.

Amazing tour to get to know the city and history - I booked this tour solo and did not know what to expect but to my surprise I loved biking around the city with stop overs at historic places. Our guide Mr. Andrei was superb, his energy and his guidance keep you interested through out. You are not going to regret this, go for it.

A great way to explore the city - A very enjoyable trip, we certainly got to see more of Bucharest than we would have by walking. Our guide (Andrei, I hope I spelt that correctly) was excellent, informative but entertaining and definitely passionate about his city. We went as a couple and we were in a small group which had a good balance to it. I can definitely recommend as a good way to explore more of the city. There were plenty of stop off points for information and site seeing, together with a lunch stop.
