“Lucia is a great tour guide. She told us a lot of things about Bucharest, history of Romania, about the buildings, foods, people, even the cars. It gave me a new perspective about this country. She was very sympatic, asked us so many times if we want to take a coffee break cause it was so freezing on that day. Plus she has a great humor which made the tour not boring 😊 I really recommend this tour !”

It was informative with some history, culture, present and past politics, economics, food and drink and more. But she did it in a very fun and interactive way. All aspects of the tour were interesting. She made sure to stop in shaded areas with seating and stopped if we needed water or a toilet break. She was conscious of her customers needs. 100% recommend her ❤️”

“Bogdan was great! He showed us all over Bucharest. We were in a spacious clean van for the first 2 hours and were able to see the tourist attractions that are not as walkable especially with two kids (age 9 & 6). Then the last 2 hours we walked and saw all the important sites that we would have past if we were walking on our own. I highly recommend the tour!”

Walk Bucharest’s communist remnants with an English guide, from Revolution Square and hidden churches to Socialist Realism and Parliament power.

“I'm born and raised in Bucharest, but I took this walking tour for fun with an Argentinian friend. It was very interesting even for me, the guide was very nice and super well prepared with a lot of stories, but even with some real "artefacts" - old communist school books, the pupils' mandatory scarf (a real symbol of communism), photos of old vs new Bucharest, a photographic documentary of the Revolution etc. It was really interesting, and for me also very emotional (I was almost 10 in 1989 so I still remember those times). Highly recommended.”
