Top Bucharest Bus Tours

What a wonderful way to see Bucharest and learn about its long complex history. Our guide Ed is a suma cum laude history graduate and his knowledge of the history of this beautiful city was exceptional! The tour lasted around three hours, we biked about 10km and travelled through 3000 years of Romanian history, from battles over the city with the turks and the romans, to Vlad the Impaler and the history of the city from a commerce perspective on the silk road. Ed was super friendly and open, had an answer to all the questions and as a first generation “free” Romanian, you could tell he was passionate about what he was doing! We would highly recommend this tour!! There was a small miss communication between viator and the Company on which tour we were taking, but it all worked out in the end. The only improvement on the tour would be to give the tour guides a tablet. Ed showed us some videos from the history of the country and city and it would have been nice to see it on a bigger screen!

This is such an informative and comfortable tour. Don’t get me wrong, the poverty, disadvantaged and challenges are hard to see. The tour guide was so informative and gave good context to what we were seeing and what different groups experience. I was surprised at how raw and real it is but learned a lot and in the context of how people get stuck/trapped and solutions are very complex.

This was simply an amazing experience. I was the only one on this tour and it was one of the highlights of my Bucharest visit. I was generous quantities of wine and the charcuterie board. There was no rush and I was given enough time to really enjoy this experience! Thank you so much for being an amazing host, and also for the spicy jam! Highly recommend this tour!

Marius was the best tour guide I have ever had. He listened to our interests and was well prepared to make our jewish history tour memorable. We spent a great deal of time at the cemetery because my husband was very interested in it. We even saw the chapel and met the conservator who showed us the actual burial records (kept in large journals with one letter on each journal). Marius has maps and pictures on his tablet which enhance the experience. We saw Choral Temple inside and many other sites outside including the holocaust memorial. Marius took us to anything we wanted to see and we even went to a coffee shop and sandwich shop with the best bread in the world. The grand synagogue is closed for renovations but Marius gave us extra notice about it. What a wonderful way to see Bucharest!

I took this tour with my mom. We’ve done many group tours in our travels together but I opted for the private tour this time and I am so glad we did. Sebastian was a wonderful guide with a wealth of information. He chose a delicious restaurant for our lunch and shared helpful insights at each destination. His car was clean and comfortable and his driving was safe. With the private tour, we felt like we had plenty of time at each stop to fully experience the place, and it was nice to be able to take bathroom breaks on our own schedule. Overall a wonderful day trip from Bucharest to experience a glimpse of Bulgaria and we’re very happy we did it!

Great day trip to northern Bulgaria out of Bucharest! Our visit enhanced our vacation and provided a more nuanced understanding of the region, including 20th century history and local interpretation of the communist era. Be prepared for several hours of driving, including some stop and go. Bathroom stops were available as needed. We strongly considered driving this ourselves, something we have done in other European countries, and at the end of the day we were very glad we went with a driver. Seban Riga was our guide and took incredibly good care of us, enriching the journey with both historical facts and local perspectives. He was energetic, engaging, and thoughtful to ensure the trip exceeded all of our expectations. It is wise to have some Euros on hand, as the modest entrance fees to some of the sites may not take cards. We also paid gratuity in Euro, and could have paid in Lei.

This exeprience is one not to miss seeing the town in a mini hot rod. Looking at the beautiful city and the amazing buildings while feeling like you are in your own little game. The tour guide was amazing and took some amzing photos and videos of our experince. The group was small so felt better the guide kept us all together and safe. I would do this again it was so much fun.

Group of 19 people. Driver was already waiting for the people in front of the Hotel. Two hour drive to the Salt Mines, with 30 minutes stop in a gas station with a Luca Store. The driver, that identified himself as driver not guide, was really helpful and spoke english. We left on time. Arrived at 10:30. The mine is worth it. We left at 13:00. Around the mine and inside there are places to eat. We arrived to the city around 15h, since the group chose not to stop in the gas station.
