        Fantastic tour guide
        The best tour I have ever taken because of guide Mihai. He was absolutely amazing and exhibited a true passion and extensive depth of knowledge about subject matter. Highly highly recommend requesting Mihai. He answered all my many questions and I was just so enthralled with his presentation because he truly truly brings history to life. 5 stars. Nikki

        Two tours and bonus
        I am so impressed and grateful to have gone on this tour with Mihai. It was a beautiful day, we had no traffic and it was absolutely gorgeous. The best part was all of the information and great conversation with Mihai. I really got to understand who King Carol was, what Brasov was about and appreciated Queen Maria and her stay at Bran even more than the story of Dracula. It was beyond my expectations and I learned so much about Romania, Transylvania and the history. It is such a beautiful country and it matters so much to go with someone who is both knowledgeable and looks out for their guests l. I honestly cannot thank or recommend this tour enough. Mihai even took his time to give me a full itinerary for a free day I had and I am so glad I took his suggestions. I got to see and dine in amazing hidden gems.

        Excellent tour! Great guide!
        Did a great day trip to Peles Palace, Bran Castle and Brasov. Mihai explained everything very well, knew many amazing photos spots to get the best shots from, and did his best to make sure the trip was wonderful. He is a very interesting person to tour with and we had a lot of great conversations on the road. I’m looking forward to going back to Romania again. Will definitely book with Mihai whenever I do go back.

        Bucharest City tour
        We enjoyed our tour immensely. It was the perfect kick off to our 9 day E European River Cruise on the Danube. Thanks Mihal for such an informative tour. Great job.

        Annual Girls Trip
        This private tour was arranged for us my our travel agent, JayWay. We were so pleasantly surprise by Mihai Vataselu. Not only was he so knowledgeable, but he was very pleasant and accommodating for all the changes we made and how lovely of him to really work with us to get the best experience in Bucharest. I would highly recommend him for any of his tours!

        Great Morning Spent with Mihai!
        Myself and a group of 5 others hired Mihai for a private Communism tour. Mihai was great, not only with his knowledge but also in keeping us entertained and with his detailed and patient answers to our questions. Our group spanned about 3 generations and I know we all learned something new not only about Bucharest but about communism in general. Would highly recommend!

        Amazing Guide! Fantastic Tour!
        The highlight of our trip to Bucharest was a day trip to Transylvania with Mihai from Unveil Romania. We visited Peles Castle, Bran Castle, Rasnov Fortress, and Brasnov old town. Mihai knows all of the best photo spots and patiently took photos of my husband and I. Mihai's knowledge and enthusiasm made the day one we will never forget. We voted him best tour guide ever! Thank you, Mihai for sharing your beautiful country with us.

        Wine tasting in Bucharest
        This is an outstanding tour at a reasonable price. Our guide, Mihai, was very knowledgeable about the wines and the meats and cheeses were delicious. We had no idea Romanian wines were this good. But the best part was the knowledge and enthusiasm Mihai has for Romania and surrounding areas. His discussions and answer to our many questions motivated us to consider coming back on a tour he would lead in Bucharest and surrounding areas like Transylvania. What a blast! This wine tasting tour is not to be missed.

        Exceptional Bucharest Tour
        We had limited time in this interesting city and were so pleased with our guide Michael (Mihai Vataselu) sharing his knowledge and love of Bucharest, answering our questions and offering insights into its culture and history.

        Ideal way to learn recent history of Bucharest
        We came to Bucharest two days ago knowing virtually nothing about the city. After taking the Ashes of Communism walking tour, we have a good understanding of how the city evolved, the conditions that existed before the Revolution in 1989, and how life in the city exists now. The tour included visits to a wide variety of buildings of the city but the focus of the tour was usually on how residents' lives were affected by the organizations that used the buildings. Our guide was very personable and knowledgeable. We appreciated that he was willing to adjust the tour to our interests and to share his views on how Romania is responding to life after the Revolution. We enjoyed the tour very much.

        Brilliant 'Taste of Tranyslvania'
        Visited late September 2018 but just found that my original review wasn't listed on the Viator site I booked it through. This was a brilliant tour from start to finish. Mihai was our guide. He was brilliant. His knowledge of Romania is amazing. We were picked up on time. We visited Peles Palas, Bran Castle and then Brasov. I can highly recommend this tour. I'd do it again without any hesitation.

        Thank you Mihai!
        Booked a Bucharest city tour as well as Peles, Bran Castle & Brasov tour with Mihai. Really funny but very knowledgeable and passionate guy who tries to make Romania's history easy to understand. In particular, he made the outstanding Peles Castle come even more alive. Very importantly, his experience shows in how he manages the tours/visits and organizing other small aspects during the time together. Really happy and grateful to have Mihai on our trip as he was more than a guide.

      It was a lovely place. We got a discount for being students. The place is well kept and everything is green and fresh. And places were under renovation, But it's a good sign.

      I definitely recommend it. Go visit village museum. It's like going back in time.

      There are plenty of huts and houses, churches etc. from all over of Romania of the 19th - 17th century - just in one place.

      I didn't read up a lot before visiting but was really pleasently surprised. The buildings are original, not remakes which makes it feel more authentic and very interesting. Well kept, very clean and the place is huge! Cheap to get in by UK standards. Would definitely recommend the museum and adjoining Park.

      A most enjoyable and educational tour. Our guide, Emma, was friendly, knowledgeable and good company. The Village Museum is well worth a visit and the wine bar provided generous samples of high quality Romanian wine. Moreover, I inadvertently left my camera in the guide’s car and after a call to the office, it was promptly located and returned to our hotel. Good value; recommended.

      A most beautiful place to spend a day out of Bucharest. Need a good half day to get around it properly. The park next door and the lake is also just wonderful.

      Thank you so much Tricia for this incredible review - I am so happy you enjoyed "Traditions in Bucharest" - private tour & wine tasting. The tour we had that day was one of the highlights of the summer season for me - I almost felt like part of the family! You were all absolutely amazing company and you're not the only one who remembers the conversations we had. I also learned a lot from you guys, especially from your father! He is a wealth of knowledge and he described Barossa Valley so vividly, teaching me new stuff about wine making techniques and also about the Germanic heritage of the region. What can I say...he was the perfect ambassador for the region so when i'll visit Australia i'll add Adelaide & surroundings on my list and it would be a sincere pleasure if we could meet again! Best wishes to you and your family!

      I booked this tour for myself and a friend as a sideline to our trip to Bucharest as we were attending the Summerwell Festival. Little did I know it would become a highlight of our 5 days. Mihai met us at our hotel and drove us to the Village Museum. From the moment we arrived there his infectious love of Romanian history became apparent. We were totally absorbed in the information and history. The Village museum is - unexpectedly - intriguing. It was delightful to meet locals of the older generation taking great pride in their heritage. The weather was a scorching 36c - but we didn't suffer in the heat as Mihai's excellent commentary kept us from thinking about the heat! He then took us to a private wine tasting at a hidden venue that you would never find otherwise. There we sat for a couple of hours (maybe??? the wine and conversation with Mihai distracted me from realising the real time) tasting amazing Romanian wines (yes - I did say amazing!) and discussing yet more fascinating Romanian history and how Romania is viewed from an outsiders perspective. Thanks to Mihai and his enthusiasm I have returned to the UK and have a knowledge that I have already used when meeting Romanians here - they are so welcoming that I have that understanding. So - its a day trip that I highly reccommend and our 5 days in Bucharest would have been much lesser had we not experienced it. Enjoy!

      Thank you so much Colin for your words - I'm touched and I really mean it. This is definitely one of those messages that goes straight into an invisible drawer called "special memories". I'm happy that you enjoyed our tour and also for being able to show you a side of Romania that is not very well known due to inadequate advertising. Thanks again for being a wonderful company and send my regards to David!

      The tour was great but Emma our tour guide made it that much better! She was so knowledgeable and friendly. If it wasn't for her recommendations we would have missed so many hidden gems in Burcharest. 10/10 would recommend Emma. You can find her on ig: burcharestvibes

      Emma was our tour guide and she was fantastic! Full of knowledge, walked at our speed (never sped past exhibits we wanted to spend time at) and took us to an amazing wine bar! 1000 de Chipuri was so lovely, and I wish I could have taken a case of wine home with us! We all chatted like old friends, which has to be hard for a tour guide, every day being a casual pal to strangers! Great job, Emma! We loved our day!

      A nice experience, since the museum is located entirely outdoors and there is the possibility of visiting the traditional houses. A sore point is that over 50% are closed by padlocks and therefore only part of them can be seen! I report this inconsistency and hope they can be reopened for future users.
