The tour was fantastic. Easy biking, wonderful guide. For those who enjoy biking, and those who who are even moderately fit (it is an easy, relaxed day), I would recommend this as one of your first activities. It will give you a great introduction to the city and to the Romanian people and culture. Most importantly, it is fun. Highly recommended. Regarding the COVID questions, a couple of comments. There were only three of us, the guide, my friend and myself. We are all vaccinated. The tour never went inside. Romania is a very safe country, for COVID and otherwise, and at no point did my friend or I feel uncomfortable about the COVID protocols.

Mugurel was a wonderful guide around Bucharest. Having grown up in the city, he knows everything about the history and recent political events, but tailors the info for our interests. Warm, friendly and humorous, we felt like we made a new friend!

We had a great half day tour of the city of Bucharest with Oana. She is passionate about biking and has a deep love for her country. She is knowledgeable and shares from her heart, her life experiences in Romania. We had two couples on her tour. She kept us on bike lanes safe from traffic. Don’t miss out on a chance to tour with Oana and her colleagues
