    This tour was the very first thing we did when we arrived in Bucharest and it really helped shape our experience and enjoyment of the city. Radu is a fabulous guide, and person. It makes a difference when the guide really cares about the city and wants to provide the best experience, Radu was patient in answering all the questions we had. We would see what seemed like a beautiful building, then Radu would explain the history, and then show us pictures of how that building looked in the past, and why, truly fascinating! Because of this tour, it helped us understand the different influences at play over time and the resilience of the people. Armed with this knowledge, and the passion with which Radu brought the city to life, we were able to use this perspective to enjoy and appreciate our stay in Bucharest far more than if we hadn’t taken this tour.

    My husband and I booked Cristi's tour for our first day in the city in order to "get our bearings" and were very, very pleased that we did. Cristi is a born "people person", has made an extensive study of the history and architecture of his native city and is extremely good at sharing his knowledge. He took us to places we would never have found for ourselves showing us how the "real" city and it's people are. Even if you are short of time in Bucharest a tour with Cristi is a must.
