Timișoara has been shaped by empires, revolutions, and centuries of layered history. This free walking tour is your chance to experience all of it, one story at a time.

“Walking tour of Timisoara ”
It was a very interesting tour and Andrei told us about the history and influences on Timisoara. There was a thunderstorm but we were able to finish the tour in a local pub and learn about Romanian beer and food!

“Aanrader in Timesoara!”
We hebben gisteren een tour gedaan met Andrew. We hebben veel mooie gebouwen gezien en hebben de achtergrond en de geschiedenis van de stad goed leren kennen. Andrew is een deskundige en gezellige gids die ons bovendien de lokale drank liet proeven. Lekker, maar advies: hou het bij één glaasje, want het komt hard aan!

“Well done!”
Really great tour, recommend to all who visit the area! Our guide was running a bit late but communicated that in advance. We spent about two hours together, walking through the town and noting many landmarks along the way. He also made personal recommendations and answered many of our questions. At the end, we both wished we had more time to spend with Andrei!

“Andrei's walking tour was great”
First of all I was surprised there was actually was a walking tour in Timisoara.
I booked but arrived late but not too late to catch the tour. The tour content was excellent and Andrei provide some great stories.
Unfortunately I had to find an ATM. I organised to meet the tour in the the Orthodox church but after finding an ATM it did not play ball. So in the process of finding another, valuable time was wasted. When I arrived back at the church, Andrei and the group disappeared. I think it was the last stop on the tour. Unfortunately, I was unable to provide Andre with a tip for his excellent tour guiding. My apologies Andrei.
However your tour was excellent and I'm really glad that I had the opportunity to participate.
Thank you

“Cool Tour with Andrei”
Had a Free Walking Tour in Timisoara. Tour guide Andrei showed us many nteresting builidings and told us a lot about the history of the city. Maybe he should avoid some of his jokes and his rough opinion about specific people/institutions, no problem for me but could be negativ for other people.
During the tour, and at the end, he had some romanion booze for us, noroc!

Great tour of Timisoara, taking in all the main sights. But Andy, our guide, was the highlight. In addition to knowing his stuff, he was quite funny with plenty of jokes. Some might not appreciate some of the humour but I liked it. Plenty of tips and advice was the cherry on top.
