Excellent

We thoroughly enjoyed this walking tour of Bucharest. Our guide was excellent, sharing a wealth of knowledge and fascinating anecdotes that really brought the city to life. Her love for Bucharest, its culture and architecture was clear throughout, making the tour both engaging and informative. A brilliant way to discover the city, understand its history and appreciate its character. Highly recommend!

A brilliant tour!

Alex was informative and funny, despite the rain. He was very engaging and we loved the high fives! We liked the variety of places we stopped acknowledging everything from churches to brothels. The final communism stop was really brought to life and interesting. The Q&A section allowed Alex to cover other topics about life in Romania now. Highly recommend!
