He also managed very well to educate about the topic without deepening the stereotypes, which I liked a lot. Since I didn't had time, I have not booked the workshop but I have seen the workshop and it looked fun as well. Best wishes and big thank you!”

“Our guide, Mihai Vataselu, is intelligent, personable, knowledgeable, and entertaining. He is one of the best tour guides we have had the pleasure to meet. His knowledge and English skills made our tour of the Village Museum in Bucharest much more than just seeing old buildings. We learned about the area of the country and the how and why the people living there created the homes they did. Mihai selected a boutique winery shop for our last stop where we sampled four delicious Romanian wines and a charcuterie plate of meats and cheeses while learning the history of Romanian wine making and getting to know each other. We highly recommend…”
