Interesting and informative - Lucia was our guide and was really helpful before the tour even started - ensuring we were able to find the starting point of the tour and buying us a bottle of water.
Lucia was really knowledgable and provided a personal insight into the life of a Romanian. Lucia gave us a real understanding of the history of Romania which was extremely humbling.
We visited lots of interesting buildings and had a stop at a lovely coffee shop
Overall would definitely recommend this tour particularly as a starting point of a holiday

Lucia brings the history to life - We had a blast and learned a semester’s worth of college level history/political science. Lucia is actually college educated on what she is talking about. She has obviously retained a great deal more than I ever did. The pace of ride and information was very comfortable. What a beautiful city to see by bike. We have done quite a few bike tours, and this one definitely stood out for it’s easily digestible content that provided so much perspective on the communist past, the Ceauscescu years, and the Roman/Ottoman influences that persist even today. We had walked around the day before, but would have missed so much had we not rode with Lucia. Great bikes, too! Thank-you for water, chocolates, and personal history!

Fantastic introduction to the City with a superb guide - My wife and I always take a bike tour of any city if possible when we arrive and this tour of Bucharest rates amongst the best.
Lucia, our guide, knew so much about her home town and had enthusiasm and energy to burn. She gave us a very warm greeting and clear explanations on the bikes and what we could expect.
The bikes were very comfortable and easy to ride through the sometimes narrow and cobbled streets.
Lucia’s thorough knowledge of the history of Bucharest was evident and she covered all aspects up to the present day.
We would happily recommend this tour and especially Lucia if you are looking to be shown some great sights and learn about this beautiful city and its people.

Romanian Life and History on a Bike - Dan did a great job telling us about Romania's part in the history of the region and life in Romania while we pedaled through Bucharest, stopping at several important sites and churches. There was a lot of construction, we biked often in areas with pedestrians, and the city is not ideal for biking, but Dan did a nice job with us.
