Nice history and culture overwiew

I did the free walking tour with Maria, who guides us through the highlights of Rumenian history and culture while exploring the centre of the city. She was prepared and explained us very interesting things, so highly recommended!

Joe O Neill · October 2026

Really Knowledgeable Guide and interesting tour.

Stefania helped educate the group on some of the many things there are to learn on Bucharest's past. She was extremely knowledgeable ans was able to answer the many questions posed. The tour lasted just shirt of 3 hours but there really wasn't a lot of walking as many of the sights were close to each other. That didn't stop your feet aching though, because there was a lot standing. I would highly recommend Stefania and the tour.
