Bucharest Unlocked: Private 3-Hour City Soul Walking Tour

Alex was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of information and tips on where to eat and drink. We went into a number of churches, cafes and restaurants which he led the way and by politely obtained permission to enter. We had a lovely time and wish him well.

Christian was very knowledgeable. We visited a lot of hidden churches and other city landmarks. Overall it was a great lesson of Romanian history.

I had an amazing experience on this tour in Bucharest. My guide Cristian was fantastic from start to finish. He showed me so many fascinating places and shared rich and authentic information. His knowledge of the city and its history is impressive. He even told me personal stories and extra facts he had researched on his own, which made the whole walk feel very special and unique. Cristian took his time to explain everything clearly and answered every question with so much patience and passion. I loved his energy, his kindness, and the easy, relaxed flow of the tour. He even stayed with me for longer than the planned three hours, which I appreciated a lot. I learned so much and enjoyed every single moment. I completely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bucharest. It was truly a wonderful experience.

As first time visitors to Bucharest,this walk with Mara was perfectly planned and paced..easy to find starting point...

What a fantastic tour we had with Mara! Her knowledge of the city, along with information about her and her family's experiences in Bucharest and Romania as a whole, made for a fun and fascinating experience. Highly recommend!!

We only had 48 hours in Bucharest - on Monday and Tuesday when the museums are closed. So, Mara's 3hour walking tour was perfect. Taking you to architectual and historical highlights, she not only explains the history of Bucharest, but gives you a explanation of resent and present Romania (1940s-2020s). Mara is a generaous and insightful guide.

Thanks Mara for a really enjoyable tour of Bucharest. Your stories and insights brought the city alive for me. I learned loads and feel like I got to know and understand Romania better during my time with you. I loved visiting all the beautiful churches - I would never have found these without you. Thanks also for the tips on other places to visit. The museum of communism is a nust see! Beth.

Mara’s knowledge of Romania/Bucharest history makes me want to continue to learn more about this country’s past.

Mara was absolutely magnificent! Very knowledgeable and interesting. Knows her history and the tour was excellent. A great way to see the highlights of Bucharest.

This was a very informative about the history of Romania from its years of communism to the present day democracy. Elena was extremely knowledgeable, charming and witty. She spoke English well and was very easy to talk with. Along the tour she shared personal experiences that made for a more informative tour. She is a proud Romanian and proud of her country. You can’t go wrong taking this tour and ask for Elena if she’s available.
