Laura was a fantastic guide through Bucharest's Old Town. Her deep knowledge of the area’s history, combined with her calm and friendly demeanor, made for a really enjoyable tour. She pointed out all the little details we would have missed and shared interesting stories that gave the city a new perspective.It was clear she loves what she does, and that enthusiasm rubbed off on us. If you’re looking for a relaxed, insightful walk through Bucharest, Laura is a great choice.It was clear she loves what she does, and that enthusiasm rubbed off on us.

I went on the Old Town and Dracula Legends tour yesterday, our guide was Laura. The tour was well paced, with lots of interesting facts and stories along the way. Saw lots of wonderful things and got some great recommendations for food/drink/things to do for later that day. Laura was a great guide - very knowledgeable, friendly and made us laugh too! Thanks for the tour - we had a fabulous time!
