“Probably one of the best tours we experienced throughout our vacation here in Bucharest. Our guide, Tudor, was informative and it was clear he was very passionate about the stories he told and put a lot of work into researching them.

I would recommend it to anyone interested in the subject matter or to anyone who wants to experience an alternative version of the city and uncover its traditions and myths.”
