Great experience for a solo female traveler in Bucharest
MelHively, October 2026
I had a wonderful time! Our guide, Ed, was very friendly and knowledgeable. The tour was a good length, allowing you to see the main highlights and get a feel for the area without making you too tired to do other things throughout the day. The fee is very reasonable. I’m a solo female traveler, so a good guide is very appreciated. Thank you, Ed!

Wonderful Tour of highlights
J8467CJdarrenh, October 2026
Ed/Eduard gave 100% on our tour of Bucharest, Romania (10-12-26), despite miserable weather conditions. He was prompt at the meeting point. He led a tour of 8 people (my friend and me, plus 6 others), with great skill, friendliness, and attentiveness. He answered many questions thoroughly. Ed pointed out extraordinary highlights and hidden sights. His depth of knowledge was indisputable; he seemed to know facts about every block along the route. This was an excellent value for the money and I would highly recommend Ed for your tour. If he is this perfect on a day filled with rain and drizzle, he will be remarkable on your tour. Perfect length. *****FIVE STARS***** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
