A Different Way to see Bucharest, with a sweet twist - Mara’s tour was an excellent way to understand the history of Bucharest and told from a personal perspective with her family living through some of the turbulent times. I loved the foodie stops along the way, tasting some of Bucharest’s hidden delights. I would definitely recommend doing this tour. I have a walking difficulty but Mara took things slowly and we had plenty of stops as she told us and showed us points of interest on our walk.

Perfect way to learn about Bucharest - Mara was an amazing tour guide! She was able to provide such fascinating overview of such a complex historical city with the insights of someone whose family has lived through it. The areas we explored were amazing, without too much intense walking. And the desserts were fantastic; especially the eclairs and donuts! Truly an amazing way to explore Bucharest.

Superb visit! - Our guide Mara was very friendly and patient. She was able to get to grips with our "very approximate" English. She introduced us to the riches of Bucharest, both cultural and gustatory. Thank you for your patience and kindness. We recommend 200%.
