Great guide with a super interesting tour - Daniela was a super guide - she managed to keep the tour engaging and full of really interesting stories and facts. The tour has a wealth of knowledge and is great at telling the history of Bucharest while being able to see the actual talking points

Through Old Town In The Summer - Very good, Daniele told many stories of the history of Romania, explained the details in the buildings, so I could see them and distinguish between styles, all on a hot day when I was the only person on the tour. Her love of her city and history shines through the presentation.

Highly recommended!! - I can highly recommend this tour with Daniela. She shows a realistic picture of Rumania and Bucarest with so many interesting stories. The time was flying by and at the end you have a different view on things you see. If you are in Bukarest make this tour with her, a very lovely and dedicated person.

Honestly, best tour guide ever (and we’ve done a lot of tours) - Don’t be suspicious of all the 5 star reviews- she totally deserves them! Absolutely phenomenal, in-depth tour. Covered the history of the city going back to its founding and all the major architectural styles along with modern tourist tips and secret spots. Would highly recommend any of her tours and will definitely call her for future trips!
