"We made a mistake with our booking, but Toni and his friend Manuela took great care of us. We enjoyed the experience immensely and are ready to book again to explore the city we currently call home even more. We found new inspiration in learning the history of buildings and monuments we walk past nearly daily. Our tour was a treat. "
"Razvan was truly at the top of all local guides I’ve had in many countries. He was punctual, his English impeccable (we questioned whether he was really from Bucharest - but he is!), he was kind and helpful and tailored the content to our interests, including Jewish history.
Razvan also had resource materials to put subject matter in a meaningful context, and he is very well educated, a history scholar and high in emotional intelligence. He could converse on any subject that we broached. All questions were well received and he delved below the surface of the usual tourist information and locations.
It was quite an honor to have someone of his caliber lead us through the Old Town area. Razvan was an incredible value and we highly recommend him! "
"We met with Toni on our first morning in Bucharest. He is gentle and knowledgeable, with first hand experience of the challenges that the inhabitants of this beautiful country have undergone in recent times. He also has extensive information on Romanian history and nothing was too much trouble. We cannot recommend him highly enough. You will not be disappointed if you book him. "
"Toni is a knowledgeable, experienced guide. He came with enlarged photos and a very historic video as well - to give deeper understanding about the history and culture of Romania. We walked the Old Town area together exploring bucharest; it was interesting and a great choice of morning activity. I am glad that I chose to tour with Toni and I recommend him as a guide. "
"Our family had a wonderful time out with Nafiseh. She was very friendly, knowledgeable and made our afternoon very enjoyable. Excellent food and drink choices customized to our family. The variety and quality of savory and sweet eats was amazing. And we learned so
much about the city history."

Amazing tour
"I highly recommend this tour our guide was fantastic, informative, friendly and kind.

"corina is the most senior guide in bucarest.
she is wonderfully experienced, knowledgable, flexible and above all enjoyable. all you could ask for in a guide. i definitely recommend. "
"First time with a guide.
Corina had a positive energy, was well spoken, and kept the tour moving. Her history talks sketched much of Romanian history so each location could be fit into the story as we walked.
Corina was willing to learn about us without being intrusive.
Nice touch was her sitting down with us for a quick list of Romanian restaurants and a ranked list of recommended sights to see.
Only down side is my choice of three hour tour on sidewalks and streets was hard on our feet."

Excellent experience
"We really enjoyed our tour with Andrei, he was knowledgeable, approachable and an all-round excellent guide. We enjoyed his sense of humour and his patience with our very curious son. 3hrs was a good length of time to whet our appetites for a deeper dive into Bucharest. We would highly recommend to anyone visiting for the first time."
"We did the hidden gems tour of Bucharest. It was excellent. We all really enjoyed it and genuinely could have gone on for longer. Andrei was interesting, very knowledgeable and the tour was a great way to start our trip in Bucharest. 🙏🏻 "
