Eastern Europe has a rich culture - Valentin was very knowledgeable about the sights and sounds of Bucharest. He was also knowledgeable about the revolution. Valentin is somebody who can positively influence the learnings about Bucharest for its visitors. You should have more Valentins in your tourism system.

Great Way to see the City - This was a great way to see the highlights of the City. Our guide was knowledgeable and accommodating with a bottle of water and some "communist" cookie biscuits. (That actually are quite tasty) Length of tour was just right and it was nice to be the only two and get the personal attention.

Excellent experience with Robert. - Wonderful experience with the driver Robert, excellent guy who explained to us in detail the monumental peculiarities of Bucharest and recounted the last months of the Ceaușescu regime.
We saw the most beautiful historic part of the city of Bucharest.
Excellent note: the tuk-tuk was equipped with a very warm blanket that protected us well from the cold and wind.
We hope to meet other Tuk Tuks like Robert's again, like the one today.

Must have Bucharest tour! - From start to finish Valentine was an excellent tour guide around the centre of Bucharest, full of knowledge about the history of the city which is clearly his passion and gave me and my friend a great way to understand the culture and to be able to navigate ourselves around a first time experience. Only wish we had booked this tour as soon as we arrived as a new city can be daunting, but Valentine was absolutely charming and made us feel like we were part of this fascinating city. Such good value for money. Great job, man!
