“Bogdon led this hike through the beautiful park. I was afraid of bears and he told me about the very interesting history of Romania to get my mind off of them. He is extremely knowledgeable about the area, the history, the people, etc. The scenery is breathtaking and we had lunch had a little cafe in the middle of nowhere that had the most wonderful soup I think I've ever had.

Explore Bucharest on a private walking tour with Old Town stories, Revolution Square, communist landmarks, and a traditional Romanian meal.
“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.”

The scenery was really beautiful and he tried his best to make sure we captured the good pictures despite the temperamental weather. The tour was truly amazing. A few suggestion for improvement are: 1. Provide clear itinerary at the beginning of the tour i.e. how long the journey, whether we will have a stop for restroom/lunch etc. 2. Start the tour with a bit of a background at the beginning of the tour and not wait till we reach the first stop to explain. 3. There was a climb…”
