It was even better as our tour guide gave us some personal examples of how communism had affected her parents and grandparents. We loved the sit down meal with the guide joining us and gave information about all the food we were eating. Excellent value for money and really felt like we had a good understanding of past Romanian life.”

“We booked the Bucharest Evening Tour and Traditional Dinner two days before we arrived in the city. The guide, Lara, picked us up at our hotel and the adventure was on. Our initial impression was that it was great she was driving since the traffic was crazy. We rode around the city with the evening perspective different from daytime. Dinner was at Caru' cu Bere, The meal was fantastic and the venue is indescribably fascinating. We were returned to our hotel after more than three great hours.”
