“We would like to thank the City Compass team for making this such a successful and wonderful event. The entire group has been talking about how much fun it was by the cooking class.
People really enjoyed doing something they’d never done before, and getting to know those on their team better. The facilitators were great, and so fun to work with.
Thank you very much for helping us create an active atmosphere! I look forward to working with you on our next events.”
- Marion Ziemann, April 2015
“Thank you so much for perfectly organising our trips based on our needs during our stay. Everything worked just fine, the buses were in very good conditions and both of the drivers were very friendly. We enjoyed our visit very much. Bucharest is definitely worth another visit. Although we were on the road from early in the morning until late in the evening, we still haven’t had the chance to see everything. See you next time!”
- Martine De Vuyst, Belgium, December 2014
“We had a very nice tour with Bogdan Popa in the snowy Bucharest. The town was really wonderful! Our guide was fantastic and the tour was very interesting. He could explain the history of Romania and he had so much knowledge about art, history and geography that we would have liked to hear more and more. We were also happy that he could manage a visit inside the Athenaeum which was also very interesting.
We had an unforgettable guided tour. We will recommend City Compass to all our friends who will visit Bucharest.”
- Cristiana Lupu, Eastern Europe & CIS Senior Regional Manager, Oracle Romania
“CityCompass, thank you for the experience!
Team motivation should be the top priority for any leader in today’s business. The people you work with are the trigger for the company’s success. Having understood this, our Oracle team reached out to City Compass – THE supplier to have for flawlessly planned events with a fun, yet productive outcome. Oana – the Planner and Bogdan – the All-knowing Guide have taken us through a wonderful experience, starting with a treasure hunt and continuing with a well deserved blind wine tasting and a wonderful dinner. The experience was rewarding for all the participants and particularly revealing for the managers who got to observe the team in an unfamiliar context, with very interesting conclusions. Since the event was designed to accommodate expats, this was a unique experience that gave them the chance to experience Romania together with their Romanian colleagues, in a great atmosphere.”

“For me as a volunteer in a new city without knowing the Romanian language the website citycompass.ro really helped me to get used to living in Bucharest. I found a lot of interesting and practical information here and there are also some quite unusual insider information you can get here. Additionally it is really nice that the citycompass.ro team speaks a good English the contact with them was friendly, easy and they replied really fast to my questions. Soon I really would like to try one of their tours.
Thanks a lot City Compass!”

“There’s a lot of really useful information to help you through the culture shock period, and a great deal of practical advice on how to interact with local commercial and government entities.
For vacationers and casual readers, there’s also extensive restaurant and cultural attraction lists, a sector by sector market guide, and an excellent guide to the workings of Bucharest’s mass transit system.
The most practical guide I’ve run across.”

“Thanks 4 existing!
Congrats for a job well done and for expanding with every issue!
Came to Bucharest 7 months ago – I found your guide after a month and HAVE TO SAY it helped a lot.
I went mad looking for things in Bucharest. But your guide has ALL the important info a tourist/ expat/ foreigner should need and once they hook up to your website – GREAT HELP.
Found all I needed in the book, very interesting and helpful. It’s a good friend to have in a City like this.
Well presented, easy to use. I found my Dentist, Health clinic, found a GREAT bakery – bike store and used a few bike paths.
All in all – Great job people, I’ll keep reading ya!
Best wishes.”

“As with many cities, Bucharest is best seen on foot, and a guided tour is the best way to get to learn about anywhere you visit….you can’t beat local knowledge! The tour covers the main highlights of the city and was historically biased. The more trivia I learnt, the better. We were fortunate to have great weather and it made for a perfect day.“
