It was a beautiful tour, Sergiu (our tour guide) explaining the history of Timisoara from its beginning until present days in specific details.

Dan was a great guide.

He explained so many details I would never have known by just waking around myself. He even helped me retrieve my Covid test results

Response from Host, Oct 2021

Thank you Tracey! I hope you had a good time in Timisoara and consider to come back some day. There is still a lot to explore!

Perfect introduction to Timisoara

Tage_J, Sep 2019

Definitely something we can recommend. We visited Timisoara for the first time, but the way the guide (Ludovic) explained both historically and humorously just about every building and every street and every interesting detail made us feel as if we were already long-time residents. His observations were sometimes really surprisingly good. We would never have got this background of the city without the tour. After the tour was over he even recommended additional experiences for us to ensure that our stay would be memorable. We thank you ! Mr and Mrs Jonsson, Sydney, Australia.

Dankeschön

Die Geschichte der Stadt ist sehr spannend und das wurde wunderbar erklärt und gezeigt anhand von Spuren in der ganzen Innenstadt.
