Super amazing experience ! Our tuk tuk guide/ driver Valentin made our last min spontaneous decision worth a while. genius idea to drive around main attractions by only one tuk tuk in Romania and have a stop for magnificent pictures. And he has honestly great eye to catch best pictures you could wish for. He is Knowledgeable, spot on for facts and very interesting to listen. He also recommended us to go certain restaurants to make sure we will taste local food. He introduced us the water harmony show. And the roof top places for sunset cocktails. And brought us to the coolest bar in heart of down. When I was booking the tour I thought it was very short time , but honestly it was exactly enough time to fit the beauty from Bucharest to our eyes and hands. I Would highly recommend his service as we got to see Bucharest so much. thanks for this last min tour. Thanks for Valentin that our memory from capital of Romania is incredible!!! Thank you !
