As a fairly new tour this was a great find for us - it really was an authentic tour of Bucharest! Daniel and Valentina were fantastic guides, super knowledgeable, warm and friendly. We had a great day with them.
The tour was wonderfully paced and a perfect balance of activities - sightseeing, an opportunity for shopping, lunch with locals as well as the opportunity to experience crossing the city using various forms of public transport (helpful for building our confidence in getting around).
It offered a wealth of authentic experiences that took us away from the crowded tourist trails. Highlights for us were The Village Museum, spending time around Obor market and walking through various areas of Bucharest learning more about the city’s fascinating history. We’d definitely recommend this tour and thank Daniel and Valentina at Covinnus for being such excellent hosts.

Apart from submitting ratings, I hardly take any time to write detailed reviews. But, here I couldn't stop myself.
If I could, I would have given 6 stars. So, to compensate I am giving the extra here ⭐. The best tour I ever had !! With such great humor, professionalism, and friendly nature, Daniel made our 6 hour walking tour an unforgettable & memorable experience that I would always cherish. I was lucky enough to get the private tour with him.
We laughed and cracked jokes (like friends) while he was describing the monument's significance and also explaining the history in pretty detail which at no point felt boring.
Highly recommend ????????
