“We did a walking tour in Bucharest and it was fantastic. Ed, our tour guide, was incredibly engaging — knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate — which made the whole experience feel alive from start to finish. What stood out most was how rich the tour was in helping us truly discover the city’s history and architecture. Complex stories were explained in a clear and captivating way, and every stop added real depth to our understanding of Bucharest.

“We loved our tour with Tudor. He's an excellent story teller, great English language speaker, and clearly enjoys his work. He was very accommodating to ask the questions he was asked from different guests, and certainly his tales brought an extra chill to the already frosty air in Bucharest that night! My husband also did an earlier tour that same day with Tudor (general Bucharest tour) which he said was excellent. Thanks Tudor, should we visit Bucharest again, we would certainly sign up for any tours you were running.”
