- Nomad5467270 contributionsCoexistence and innovation amongst diverse peoples resulting in a very special place called Timisoara.Learning about Timisoara was finding out how different races and different religions can coexist in a peaceful way. The result of this is an innovative and vibrant culture that has endured through the oppression of communism. The buildings, statues, and places provided the stage for an excellent performance by our guide. He skillfully revealed stories about the places and people of Timisoara. This was a great tour.Written June 25, 2024

My partner and I recently had the pleasure of a walking tour through Timisoara. Ludovic was a phenomenal guide; he led us through a vast, rich history with a clarity I can only wish I'd had in high school history lessons. Especially appreciated were his sense of humor and attention to visual detail, which made the tour both interactive and memorable. For the first time, I've managed to end a walking tour retaining so much of the information I'd been given. We are grateful for this experience and highly recommend our guide to anyone interested in connecting with this gorgeous city on a deeper level.

What a fascinating tour guided by Dan! He artfully dives beneath the surface of the glorious, grand buildings and weaves together the history, people and places that make Timisoara so special. Fantastic way to be introduced to the city or to get a real taste of it if you’re only here for a short while (we ended up staying 10 days it’s such an interesting place.) We also recommend Dan’s tour of nearby Arad, another town filled with architectural gems.

This was an extremely pleasant surprise that left me wanting to go on another tour right away. I learned a lot of new things and was impressed by the delivery - full of interesting facts and humour. I totally recommend a city tour with Ludovic to any visitor or resident of Timișoara.

My husband and I came for a city break in Timișoara and we started our trip with a tour of the city. Our guide, Sergiu, was very talented and enthusiastic about his city and offered us great stories and insights about the city's past that we wouldn't have known otherwise. We highly recommend this tour to both travelers and locals, it was so much fun! Thank you!

I'va been to Timisoara with a group of 40 tourists and Ludovic was our tour guide.
The history of the city said in the form of an entertaining story was the highlight of the day and with that, Ludovic managed to keep us both focused on the stories and relaxed at the same time. Great prefessional, great personality.
I highly recommend a tour with him if you are in Timisoara for evan just a few hours.

Our guide, Dan, was not only an amazing, knowledgeable, and passionate guide, but also a really kind and warm person. We've had the pleasure of spending three hours in his company, roaming the streets of the old town and learning about its history, architecture, people, and art. He answered all of our questions in great detail and gave us a good overview of every matter we brought up. He was also fun and peppered the tour with jokes and anecdotes.
I think this tour is amazing for Romanians as well, since we've learned a whole lot ourselves - much more than school history lessons have ever taught us. A tour with Dan is probably the best and most pleasant way of learning all of this.

Yesterday we were again with Vic on a tour of Timișoara. Loved again the stories about the area, cultural heritage and historic events rooted in the cobble stones, bricks and masonry of the old city. A city borne out of the swamps of Timis is now one of the greatest cities of Romania. Architecture and history are unequivocally connected and Vic is able to stress out important points and reveal the mysteries of old and newer buildings.

We took this tour in the freeeeezing cold at the end of December and our guide could not have been more patient. He gave a wonderful history - comprehensive, but not boring or overwhelming - and we would recommend to anyone. Definitely worth the value and some!

I ame passionate about local history and cultural sightings, I regularly go to Timisoara, and got this tour as an o birthday gift.
Well, it was nice to be a tourist for a day, I have learned a lot about buildings and the history of my city in a fun and pleasant way. I can say now that I have a new and better perspective of the city and its history.
I would recommend this tour to both locals and foreigners because it gives a new meaning to what Timisoara represents, I feel somehow connected with it's history now.

I went to Timisoara for the first time last spring. This guided tour must have been one of the best tourist experiences of 2022 for me. The guide presented everything in a very professional way, he knew how to talk, how to present the events in an interesting way adapted to our days and he also made jokes. I told many friends in Bucharest about this experience and if they go to Timisoara, they should definitely go on a guided tour. And I would recommend them the same guide. I enjoyed it a lot. Timisoara is a special place with special people.
