Thanks to Stefania for her explanations and her enthusiasm about the city of Bucharest. The theme of the visit, old town and Dracula (on Halloween night), put us in the mood. A complete and detailed 2.5 hour experience that teaches us even more about Romanian culture and this beautiful city. Thank you Stefania!
