A True Hidden Gem of a Tour! - This was a great tour where you really learned about the history of Romania and who Bucharest evolved into what it is today. There were some beautiful buildings that you would never see on any regular tour as well as interesting churches and cultural buildings. ANDRA was a FANTASTIC GUIDE!

Anita will show you the wonders of Bucharest! Book now! - This was a wonderful walking tour of Bucharest with sights that you would not see if you were out exploring on your own. Anita adjusted the tour to suit my needs for great photo locations! She is amazing and quite knowledgable. Bucharest is a fascinating place, with rich architecture, eclectic street art, and happy people. I loved all the stories that went with each stop. So much history to consume! I wished the tour was longer! By the way, 5 To Go has some great hot chocolate! Would highly recommend if you want to be enriched mentally, socially and physically!
