This was our second day in Bucharest – we did a bus drive-by tour, so we really wanted to get up close to see the Old Town in a walking tour. Ed could not have done a better job – he was funny. He answered all of our questions and he gave us a real feel For not only the Old Town, but for his city in general. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour, and Ed in particular. Thank you for a wonderful 2 1/2 hours!

The walking tour was very good. It was my first time in Bucharest and this walking tour did not disappoint. Alex was our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable, a good communicator, friendly and accommodating. We had a very good overview of the history, culture, restaurants to visit for Romanian cuisine and political journey of the city of Bucharest. I would recommend this tour if you are visiting the city for the first time and want to see highlights of what Bucharest has to offer.
