Daniela was a knowledgeable and engaging guide. By walking the city and visiting a selection of buildings we were given a great sense of post war life and the changes the country went through.
Well worth doing

We were very fortunate to have Andreea as a guide as we toured Bucharest this summer! First of all, Romania is a wonderful destination. The country is beautiful, the people are warm and friendly, the food is delicious and the prices are very reasonable. Then, experiencing it with a guide like Andreea is the icing on the cake. Andreea is such a delightful person! She is warm, knowledgeable, interesting and eager to share her knowledge of her homeland. She told us stories and answered all our questions. Traveling with her made our experience so much richer than going it alone. We would highly recommend Andreea to anyone traveling in Romania!!

We toured with Andreea for 3 days and it was so much fun. Andreea meet us at the airport at 5:00 AM (our plane trip was quite the ordeal). And, even at that time of the morning, she was all smiles and hugs. Andreea toured us around Bucharest and Brasov. She was a wealth of information as well as a lot of fun. We spent many a time laughing over various misunderstandings between Romanian and English! Andreea was always trying to fulfill any request that we made and pointed out to us the best restaurants and beer gardens in the area. She told us not only about the history of the area in which we were touring but also about the communist impact on that area. It was all very informative. Andreea even Whatsapped us back in the states to let us know the answer to a question that we had poised days before. I would highly recommend Andreea and the tours that she escorts.

Best walking tour we have ever been on. Vlad did a great job explaining what happened during the regime. He experienced it first hand and while walking through the city pointed out so many important landmarks to help bring his story to life.
