About the operator

- mariasZ1115MW0 contributionsBest tour of Timișoara I've ever experiencedWe weren't sure if we had time for the tour, knowing we were only passing through Timișoara, so we had just a few hours. The tour guide understood exactly our demands. The tour had a wonderful fluidity, the transitions between historical events and different time periods were flawless and very subtle. The tour guide was charming, jokes were sprinkled at every stop. I really enjoyed this tour and highly recomend it. I would definetly go again for a longer tour. If you are visiting Timișoara this tour is a must.Written 31 December 2024

- Robert R0 contributionsVery Educational and Fun with Knowledgeable GuideBy coincidence, the group tour consisted of just me and your guide Roberta. Starting in the morning fog, Roberta was very personable and extremely knowledgeable of the city and region. She was well- prepared with visual aids and engaging. I learned a lot about Timisoara and its historical significance, as well as some local color and flavor. Extremely happy with experience, as sun burned off fog and a beautiful warm autumn morning to have fun and learn.Written 31 October 2024

It was my partner’s first time in Timisoara and he was left in awe of the city’s rich history and architecture. Ludovic was able to answer every question my partner and I asked and more!

- 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 25 June 2024

Fantastic 3 hr tour of the city. The guide, Ludovic, is very entertaining and full of interesting historic facts from the origin of the city right to present day.
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, it’s great value for money and we can’t recommend it enough.

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.

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.
