          Great experience at Therme Bucharest. Definitely recommend it!
          Great thermal spa with lots to do and experience in one place under one roof! We booked an all access 12 hour day at Therme Bucharest and spent about 8 hours there. Totally worth it! The water park is really fun to experience especially as an adult as it brought us back to our childhood best times! Definitely go to the water park part of the spa earlier in the day as it gets busier after midday. The pools were heated and were amazing to swim in especially on the cold Nov day we had chosen to go on. The bars within the spa had a variety of drinks of choice which was good and being able to enjoy them inside or outside in the pool was great. The main restaurant had a variety of food which was hard to choose from but guess that's not a bad thing! We didn't book a massage but overheard people saying that it is worth it however there are some massage chairs which can be paid for (10 min sessions) that can be used as an alternative! The selection of saunas was amazing and each had their own unique twist on an experience within itself. At specific times, they give out face masks in the steam/saunas and have entertainment in the saunas which was fun and quite an experience in itself. All in all, a "very well worth it" experience! Highly recommend it!

          Fantastic Tour
          Fantastic, informative and friendly tour by Marius! We arranged it with less than 24 hours notice. Appreciated that he focussed the commentary and tour on our particular historical interests.

          Great Spa - But book direct and not via Tripadviser.
          I really loved the Spa but DO NOT BOOK via Trip adviser, it is a total rip off! I paid £50 per person and then when we got to the spa we had to pay an additional £10 each to access the saunas. If you book directly with the spa it costs about 36 Euros and includes access to the spa. Trip advisor should not allow people to be ripped off on their own website.

          Great clean, and the staff were excellent, which made you feel welcome. Easy to get to only thing is you pay extras that aren't clear online

          A Must Do Tour!
          A fantastic tour! Alex was very informative as we learnt about and observed the history of Bucharest. The stop along the river for refreshments was a great opportunity for riders to connect with each other and ask questions about Romania, while enjoying the beautiful scenery and atmosphere.

          Wonderful way to see the sites and learn the history.
          Toni was a brilliant guide. Very friendly, acknowledgeable and accommodating. This really is the best way to see the sites in Bucharest and get a feel of the city. The open air museum was a real highlight for us as was walking through the old town.

          Bucharest, indeed the little Paris of the East with a painful past but a brighter future!
          One of the best tours of a city (and I've been to well over 100 countries and done a ton of tours)! Toni is well spoken, informative, and knowledgeable. The tour is well thought-out and eye-opening. As a rather impatient surgeon I like things presented well and concisely. I couldn't have asked for a better 2.5hrs.

          Fun experience
          The spa facility is extensive, featuring both indoor and outdoor pools, as well as a variety of saunas. Each area provides a unique and memorable experience. There are water games and slides for adults, as well as a dedicated children's area. The facility is well-maintained and clean, with showers, a restaurant, and a bar where guests can enjoy refreshments by the pool. I highly recommend this spa as a rejuvenating respite during your travels.

          Book via official website
          The spa is amazing however please do not book via Trip Advisor - book via the official website as this cost is almost double the official amount with no added benefits.

          First Hand History Account!
          Great tour through Bucharest! Toni was an awesome host and very knowledgeable! He had so many interesting stories of his life in Romania and his memories or the Romanian Revolution. He even had a video I-Pad presentation that really put the stop at Revolutinary Square in perspective. We covered a lot in four hours! Money well spent and professionally presented!

          Highly recommend! Perfect way to spend the day
          Amazing views, so relaxing. Affordable! Got the 12 hour three area pass and so glad we did. Had access to all we wanted. Food stations were great and didn’t have to worry about having our valuables on us as the little fobs store all your purchases and you just pay on the way out. Fantastic experience and highly recommend!

          Total relaxation and pure indulgence at its best .
          Fantastic place to visit. I would recommend getting a full day pass for all areas. If you can , take your own flip flops, towel and robe as this will save you a bit of money. The food and drinks are very reasonably priced. Go early, pick a sun bed or day bed , leave your robe on it and it’s yours for the day. The pools and spas are spotless as well as all seating areas. My advise, after a full week of sightseeing and walking miles, leave this trip for your last day , it is so relaxing 😎

          Awesome Guide and Experience
          Nicholas was our guide and did an amazing job! The van was clean and he had cold water fir us. He gave us options to accommodate things we did and where we went. Got to get out and take pictures and stay as long or short as we wanted. He even stopped at a luggage store we needed to go to! Very knowledgeable about everything we saw and asked about! Highly recommend you ask for him!

        We had no idea what to expect, but what we got was one of the highlights of the trip. Picture a vicious megalomaniac with access to unlimited budget. Add a wife who was worse than he was. Then follow their demise by starting at the place where he gave his final speech. Toni Tatar, our guide, brought a taping of the event and so standing where the protesters were made us feel like we were there. Next we saw their Spring Palace, with a tour of the tackiest 50 room mansion, which was where they lived. Finally, we went to the second largest building in the world, which they were building to replace the mansion for some $8 billion: eight stories above ground, six below of Stalinesque. It was so large, we couldn’t get the entire building in our picture. Seeing the 1800 chandeliers (actually you only can see a fraction of them) the ballroom, their studies the size of basketball stadiums, and the auditorium for operas and speeches, gave you enough of a taste for what was planned. Toni had arranged it, took us to the locations, and gave us a background so we could understand what happened. He also helped us get to and from the airport and buy train tickets. We were impressed with his concern for the safety and well being of his clients. We give kudos to him and urge others to contact him if you want a top notch experience for a reasonable price.

        Dear Carmen, We appreciate your review. The Communist Tour is one of my favourite. It's a lot of history to discover and definately the communist time is part of our country, not easy to forget. Best regards fro Bucharest, Toni
