Very informative - Highly recommended. We learned a lot on this informative and interesting tour. Marius was kind enough to make changes to the itinerary to suit our shortened timetable. A pity we could not do the full 3 hours as there was so much more we could have covered.

A great walking tour - Marius is a perfect guide. He is very knowledgeable of this, his native city. His English is excellent, He was very careful to check is I was comfortable with his pace. The sights he chose gave a picture of the city in many of its historical eras. And, he is very personable. I was lucky enough to be his only client on this tour. Highly recommended.

Wonderful personal tour - We chose to walk to/from our meeting point (about 30 minutes each way) from our hotel, adding an hour to the overall tour, but Bucharest is an easy city for walking. Our guide, Marius, was a delight -- knowledgable and pleasant, and kept us fully engaged for the 3-1/2 hours we were together. The Old City has lots of history and things to see, and my wife especially appreciated his willingness to talk about the people (sometimes patiently reviewing details he had already shared) so she could keep things straight. (I like to learn about architecture and events, she likes to learn about the people involved.) Marius was very adaptable in matching the pace of the tour to our interests and walking speed, spending more time where had more questions. All in all, we came away with a great appreciation for a city that was new to us, as well as for Marius, who took very good care of us.
