Marius was the best! He customized our tour to include exactly what we wanted to see. We visited synagogues, museums, memorials, and walked the Jewish quarter. The commentary was interesting, informative, and eye-opening. Marius even took us to the cemetery at the edge of the city where victims of the pogrom of 1941 are buried. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone who visits Bucharest. The heritage of Jews in Romania is something most of us are sadly unaware of and need to know about.

We had a wonderful day with Marius, our guide for the Bucharest Jewish Heritage Tour. We visited the major Jewish sites still existing in Bucharest beginning with one of three cemeteries. It was terribly overgrown but held centuries of history and told its own story of a once 1,000,000 strong community now with few remaining. Synagogues, the Jewish Museum, and the Holocaust Memorial were among other sites included in the tour. We even had lunch at the only kosher restaurant in Bucharest! Marius is terrific with excellent English skills, a comfortable car, and is highly engaging. We highly recommend this tour!

Marius is very kind and thoughtful. He was very accommodating. He even asked the cemetery caretaker to look up family names for me. The synagogues are beautiful but I thought Marius’ explanation of the monument was really interesting.

Marius was a great guide to the Jewish heritage of Bucharest. He was familiar with how its community made vital contributions to the city before World War II and how it mostly disappeared postwar. We visited a Jewish cemetery, sadly overgrown because the community is so small today. The tour provided several stops to visit synagogues and the Romanian Holocaust memorial.

We travelled from Israel to go on a Jewish tour of Bucharest. It was worth it.
Our guide Marius was well organized and extremely well informed. Wonderful tour.
