Additional Information
It is called the greatest tour… because it is. It is long too (you noticed the 3 hours duration of the tour, I hope). We have about 30 stops, and youll see most of the citys beautiful landmarks.
30 stops is a lot, but dont worry, this is a relax tour. We do not hurry. Take your time to listen, make photos, and enjoy the the tour. We do not have a time limit for each stop, and there will be plenty of places to enter and see inside. Our tour starts with a short, short story of our history. Dont worry though, 2 millenniums in 10 minutes is quite a performance. This part will help you make sense of the time and people connected with the buildings well see. And then well walk, well see a lot of gorgeous buildings and monuments, and well connect their stories, with the history we learned in the beginning.
Well laugh, well talk, well see the best places to eat, to visit, to have fun in, and we promise to answer all your questions. If we cant, we`ll refund you.
Location
"Saint Anthony" Church
Strada Franceză
Right in front of Saint Anton`s Church and the Old Castel of Dracula (Palatul Voievodal Curtea Veche), with a big rainbow-colored umbrella and a big folder in my hands.

Through Old Town In The Summer - Very good, Daniele told many stories of the history of Romania, explained the details in the buildings, so I could see them and distinguish between styles, all on a hot day when I was the only person on the tour. Her love of her city and history shines through the presentation.

Highly recommended!! - I can highly recommend this tour with Daniela. She shows a realistic picture of Rumania and Bucarest with so many interesting stories. The time was flying by and at the end you have a different view on things you see. If you are in Bukarest make this tour with her, a very lovely and dedicated person.

Honestly, best tour guide ever (and we’ve done a lot of tours) - Don’t be suspicious of all the 5 star reviews- she totally deserves them! Absolutely phenomenal, in-depth tour. Covered the history of the city going back to its founding and all the major architectural styles along with modern tourist tips and secret spots. Would highly recommend any of her tours and will definitely call her for future trips!

Barbara Matthew - Excellent tour and tour guide. Daniela speaks fluent English and is always very informative and interesting. She makes Bulgarian history easy to understand with pictures and charts as well as taking you to beautiful buildings and churches. While on tour with her a couple she had previously hosted came over and booked another tour with her. She can even customize tours. Like all good tour guides I have experienced,she gives you more than expected.
