Bogdan was a great guide. It
Was a personal tour since I was the only one booked. I am so grateful they did not cancel. The tour was informative about the history and interesting. It also included a wonderful lunch. Bogdan was so nice, I highly recommend this tour. The max is 8, even with a group it is a great way to get to know Bucharest.

A neat trick to learn about the country you’re about to tour, is to arrive a day early and take a 4 hour walking food and culture tour, like the Bucharest Sights and Bites Discovery. But to get a wonderful docent is the magical charm.
I give it 5 stars, especially as our guide was the incomparable Elena, who shared her country’s complex past and present (with a glimpse at its future) by allowing us to see it through her eyes, with the benefit of the experience, sparkling wit and wisdom of her people. She is emblematic of the soul of the long suffering Romanians, their brave and resilient humor - how they have triumphed in the face of adversity - a lesson to us all.
We learned about the subtle secret message conveyed by the position of the horse’s tail in the equestrian statue of King Carol I, the monument known as the potato, the homage to the tortured man, etc. She answered all our questions and also gave us great recommendations in fluent English.
We learned so much while walking through the streets, pasages and even an ancient caravansaray and thoroughly enjoying the moment.
At the end of the walking tour, we sat down to a customizable three course meal of delicious Romanian specialties with a drink at a lively, historic restaurant.
Try the local dishes like the mici, pronounced meesh (mixed sausage meat) or the sarmale (meat stuffed cabbage rolls)and do taste the decadent dessert called papanash. OMG. Brava, Elena! Multumesc!

I really liked our tour. Elena was a nice tour guide. I already miss visiting Romania because now I know how they are kind and welcoming. I had a great visit in March. I hope to visit this beautiful country again. Thanks to Elena, who showed us beautiful Bucharest. I wish her the best. She is really valuable and kind.

We were treated with a 1 on 1 guided experience of Bucharest with Ioanna. She was extremely friendly and knowledgable, even putting up with my incessant questions every few minutes. The entire tour took around 5 hours including lunch, which she guided us through local Romanian foods that we wanted to try. Highly recommend this tour - worth every penny!

My husband and I were a bit hesitant when we first arrived in Bucharest and saw the communist-era buildings. However, when we joined our walking tour with Elena, she pulled back the concrete curtain and showed us the beating heart of the city. Her energy and passion was evident, and she brought the history of the place to life. There was another group with us for the walking tour, and we then had Elena to ourselves for a traditional lunch at Caru Cu Bere, a historic beer hall. She advised us on our itinerary for the rest of our trip in the countryside, and answered all of our questions. This was the perfect introduction to Romania! Highly recommend.

Absolutely fantastic. I cannot thank the tour guide Cristina enough. I learnt so much during my time with her, not only the places and buildings we were passing but what life in Bucharest is like. I cannot recommend this tour enough.
