“Constantin was my guide, and he also had a new lady, Andra, with him who would be starting the job soon. I was the only person on this tour, so I could ask all the questions I wanted! They were both so knowledgeable about the history of their city and country. The restaurant was great, maybe a bit too much food! Make sure you are hungry. Lots of walking, but since it was like a private tour, the pace was perfect for me. It was just what I wanted. I took this tour in July 2018.”
