Guides such as Sebastian, Mircea, Catalin, and Valerica are praised for local stories, history, and useful restaurant tips.

“A very professional and well organised venture. No excess emails, every clearly explained clearly and correctly. Our guide, Mircea, was very punctual, well presented and very knowledgeable. He took the time to talk to us and then tailor the experience to our interests. His knowledge was very good and he was able to answer all our questions. He showed us some sights we would never have found by ourselves and we followed up on some of his recommendations, all of which were fantastic. This was well worth the price and gave us knowledge to plan the next couple of days of exploring by ourselves.”

We enjoyed a snack at a tasty eclair shop that is his favorite. We were so satisfied with his service that I asked him to also help with our airport transfer later in the week.”
