This is such a truly memorable experience. I thank Nafiseh so much because she was very flexible about the schedule of my tour. I supposed to have a food tour on Saturday but because my flight was cancelled so i have to ask her to reschedule it. She normally doesn’t work on Sunday’s but she still rescheduled my tour on Sunday. I really appreciate her for her kindness. The food tour is a highly recommend. She introduced me for some delicious local foods and educated me on the history of the city and how that influenced the architecture. The highlight of the tour for me was in Caru cu bere, a traditional Romanian restaurant. The foods there are amazing!!!! Highly recommended

We met Corina outside the Amezi chiurch to begin our tour. We walked through town while Corina shared her knowledge of the city and the culinary highlights. As we continued, our conversations turned to daily life for Romanians following the end of communism. We learned so much as she shared the challenges of housing and working in this economy. We are grateful to have spent the evening with her. As for the food part, since we had already been to the restaurant she had chosen for us, she adapted and ordered new and better dishes. All in all, a lovely evening. Fascinating and enjoyable tour

I couldn't have wished for a better guide in Andrei for a very informed tour of central bucharest. It was like being shown round by a friend he told the history of the city in a very clear manner. We were locked in intense chat for the whole 2 hours ; we could easily have gone in for a third hour! Left great memories for visit the to the city. An amazing 2 Hours

Toni is a knowledgeable, experienced guide. He came with enlarged photos and a very historic video as well - to give deeper understanding about the history and culture of Romania. We walked the Old Town area together exploring bucharest; it was interesting and a great choice of morning activity. I am glad that I chose to tour with Toni and I recommend him as a guide. Great guide

Thoroughly recommend the Transylvanian castle trip - starting with Peles Castle, then Bran Castle and finishing with Brasov. Yes, it's a long trip but Roberto the tour guide was hilarious and Luciano was a brilliant driver and went out of his way to make sure we didn't get stuck in traffic on the way home. Make sure you bring a book/music for the drive but the scenery in the mountains was outstanding and kept us spell bound as did Roberto's commentary. Both castles were very interesting and perfect for photos and feeling caught up in the very different Romanian culture.Full day trip

Toni was a wonderful guide and came prepared to provide the best overview of his city and country in the time he had with us. Because we were doing a tour of the Parliament right after his tour, Toni reversed his tour and started at the Atheneum, walking us down Victory Boulevard and into Old Town. Along the way, he explained royal Romanian history through Ceaușescu and the Soviets, giving an impartial view. And he brought video of Ceaușescu's last speech and the storming of his office to put things in perspective. He also spoke of his personal recollections as a child in those last years of Soviets reign. But the tour also focused on the regeneration of Bucharest in the past 30+ years and life today. I highly recommend Toni and this tour.Terrific overview of Bucharest/Romania

Half day tour of Bucharest and castles of Transylvania
We booked 2 tours with Mr. Tripp, in English. On our first day, we toured Bucharest fort the first time. Our guide, Roberto, was very friendly, knowledgeable and thorough. He drove us around in a van, and we were the only 2 lucky tourists for him that day. We met up with business associates the next day and they were impressed at all the knowledge we had already gained. We toured the Village museum, which was very interesting, Old town, revolutionary square, and drove by many, many more museums, buildings and important sights. It was an excellent start to our trip.Discover Bucharest

Roberto was our guide for a 4 hour approx. Bucharest city tour.
Was very informative, took us to the old town, village museum, palace of parlament (from outside), the revolution square, some church's etc.. 35 eur pp, 31 for student. We finished earlier than 4 hours, and we had a 35 minute break inside the village museum (I would GLADLY skip this break and earn more from the trip) he showed us a few restaurants with 'secret' terraces and was geuninely a great guideHalf day tour of Bucharest

The tour with Mr Tripp was excellent from start to finish. Roberto was a very helpful and friendly guide, and used his local knowledge of the areas we visited in Transylvania and Bucharest to great effect. It was very sad when the trip ended as we had such a wonderful time. Would highly recommend Mr Tripp for Romanian tours.Transylvania revealed tour

First time with a guide.
Corina had a positive energy, was well spoken, and kept the tour moving. Her history talks sketched much of Romanian history so each location could be fit into the story as we walked.
Corina was willing to learn about us without being intrusive.
Nice touch was her sitting down with us for a quick list of Romanian restaurants and a ranked list of recommended sights to see.
Only down side is my choice of three hour tour on sidewalks and streets was hard on our feet.Would book her again

We really enjoyed our tour with Andrei, he was knowledgeable, approachable and an all-round excellent guide. We enjoyed his sense of humour and his patience with our very curious son. 3hrs was a good length of time to whet our appetites for a deeper dive into Bucharest.

Andreea m'a réellement fait découvrir l'éclectisme, que je ne soupçonnais pas, de Bucarest. Architecture baroque, art déco, néoclassique, immeubles haussmaniens, bâtiments modernes mais aussi en ruine, verrues soviétiques se mélangent comme nulle part ailleurs. Quelques pépites comme le petit monastère Stavropoleos.
Andreea connait bien sa ville et son histoire. Elle est très sympatique. Une vraie découverte. Merci beaucoup Andreea !Une révélation

Andreea was very knowledgeable and was very sweet, kind and soft-spoken. Doing the tour in a busy Saturday evening with lots of atmosphere and noise made it difficult to hear Andreea many times with her accent and soft spoken voice. She was approached by others and very kind to hear their stories about the palace/museum while we waited. I would try another guide next time where it's not so difficult to engage and hear.Quick intro tour of Bucharest

We only had a couple of hours to see the city and we contacted this tour last minute. We were lucky to have been paired with Alina. She was great in showing us around and provided lots of historical informational tidbits. It gave us the opportunity to have a better understanding of a deeply historical city that we would never have had appreciated otherwise. Alina was so friendly and easy to talk to and we felt like we were being shown the city by a friend rather than a paid guide. Thanks Alina.Lovely experience.

Nafiseh was absolutely amazing evening guide when mixing evening city tour with a top rated local cousine and a finest romanian wine at a lovely restaurant for a desert :) it was perfect combination for our short business visit in Bucharest.
The most valuable takeaway for us was that Nafiseh has a multicountry guide experience which makes her unique and captivating to listen. Thank you Nafiseh and look forward to see you in Bucharest againNafiseh - TOP class tour guide 💯percent

If you want a really good tour guide, look no further . We had a really interesting day with Toni. He tells lots of background stories, and took us to see places we wouldn't have noticed if we were on our own. His English is very good, and he made the whole tour fun. Definitely recommend him as a great tour guide.A really good tour guide.
