What a great tour! I was hoping to explore the other side of Bucharest and tour guide Vlad couldn’t better explain it. The enthusiasm in the stories truly allowed a unique touch. I am now a huge fan of the dark history side of Bucharest and its definitely also thanks to him! Thank you Vlad, definitely one of a kind tour.

I enjoyed this experience learning about the sociopolitical history of Romania. This provided a good history lesson about the country and history and some famous writers. There's lots of walking so good chance to get steps in and tour lasted 3.5hours. The guide Alex was very passionate and knowledgeable.
