Very informative,indept research done .Serban is Proud of his Dacia.He had to improvise his tour without problems Delivered us promptly at the Opera house for an evening performance. As an extra bonus we got to meet his friends at the vintage club who had a demonstration at the time 2 is a comfortable number in the car Maby a cushion at the backseat would be useful?

I always wanted to drive an old Dacia, so my girlfriend surprised me with this tour. The car was really well maintained and really fun to drive, being eye-catching at every moment and getting everyone's attention. However the tour itself really exceeded our expectations. We lived in Bucharest for 13 years and we thought we know a few things about the city, but we were surprised to be wrong. Our guide Mihai was wery knowledgeable and told us so many stories and new information about the city, its history and about the car. The whole experience felt like spending the afternoon with a friend. I would recommend this to anyone, tourist or local, regardless of age. Thank you for the passion that you guys are putting into this, that's what makes it an amazing experience!

We only have three days in Bucharest and have lots of plans - including a wish to get a credible walk down Romanian/Bucharest history. We wondered if this is possible with so little time. It is :) This is exactly what we got with TheRedPatrol - and on top of that the guide’s stories were personal, authentic and told with passion and engagement. Loved every second and even our teenager, that is not to interested in history, thought it was worth it :)
