Excellent, informative and very interesting tour of several notable neighborhoods that your average tourist probably would not discover! Andrea, our tour guide and a resident of Bucharest, guided me through the following neighborhoods: Batistei; Armenian; Mantuleasa; Olari; Ioanid-Gradina; and Icoanei. Andrea explained each neighborhood, discussng key characteristics and buildings/sights along the way. We made several stops, and Andrea also provided some good insider recommendations for different restaurants in each neighborhood. An added bonus was that this ended up being a private tour, as I was the only one who booked the tour for that day. Andrea is a personable and passionate guide, and taking this tour felt like visiting each neighborhood with an insider friend rather than a regular guide. I highly reommend this tour, and Andrea as a guide, if you want to get off the beaten track after visiting the standard attractions and then explore some real and quite interesting Bucharest neighborhoods. Highly recommended!
