What are people saying about Bucharest

Richard_O, Apr 2026

Don’t miss this tour!

An absolutely fantastic walking tour during which we learned a great deal about the history of communism, and the re-emergence from communism, in Romania. Our guide, Andreea, was not only knowledgeable and well- spoken, but she clearly has a passion for the subject. She imparted knowledge while also imbuing her audience with her enthusiasm for learning about this particular time period in Romania. Highly recommend this tour, which met at the front entrance to the Patriarchal Cathedral itself, which is contained in a large estate at the end of an uphill walk along a road on the grounds of the estate.

Stuart_B, Apr 2026

Great tour with Vlad!

Vlad is a great guide. Informative, funny and looks after the group. It was smooth driving with Florian the Frenchman. I was dreading the bus ride but it was fine! And a good price.. Maje sure ti be punctual on the times. The 30 Rlei ticket to both museums and mini tour of Brazov is welll worth it. Don’t miss going inside the castles. Abd we seemed to be able to go in front of many other groups! There are many identical itinerary tour groups but I’m glad I picked this one with this company.

Lucia gave a very engaging and fun tour

Lucia guided us around Bucharest and was very knowledgable and full of interesting and fun facts - we could have listened to her for hours and hours, she made the tour very engaging. She was considerate of everybody’s different needs and was checking in with us to make sure we were doing ok. Also her jokes were funny even though she said they were not!! Thank you Lucia for your engaging and fun tour, we had a lot of fun

Small-Group Day Trip to North Bulgaria

Rafael_G, Mar 2026

Something different.

Șeban Riga our driver was very funny and awesome....traffic is horrible there and back....sites were amazings...My wife and I enjoyed the town of Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria...we skipped the palace tour and walked the whole town, there are a lot of eating options, don't be afraid to try it. Our weather was perfect SUNNY with a little breeze....I would recommend it, if you have the time. Our original date of the tour was canceled, because we were the only ones signed up for it. But they offered a different date, which we were free from other tours, I can undertand why you need at least 4 or more people for this tour. We managed to get back in a reasonable time to Bucharest as we had an early flight the next day. Long day but worth it.

Must visit location. Great tour guide

Breathtaking location, never seen something like this in my life. Definitely a must visit! Special thanks to the guide, Lucian David! Great jokes, interesting facts and he also gave some tips about Bucharest (what to see, where to eat, what to do and what is not worth your time) The best excursion that I've ever had! Very pleasurable experience overall

Salt Mine Tour from Bucharest with Entrance Ticket

Daniela_A, Dec 2025

Worth the Experience

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.

Day Trip to Bulgaria and Veliko Tarnovo from Bucharest

Christopher_R, Nov 2025

Great tour

Our guide was Gabriel and he did a great job. He was informative, nice and professional. He took us to Bulgaria where we saw fantastic ruins, a monastery and some churches. We had plenty of time to wander on our own in Tarnovo where the food was great and there were many places to shop. 10/10.

Bucharest Airport Transfer

Cynthia_B, Nov 2025

A safe, reliable, easy option for getting to and from the airport in Bucharest.

I booked cars from and to the airport at either end of my trip to Bucharest. The drivers were early both times, and got me safely to and from my hotel. It was such a comfort to not have to worry about finding a train or arranging an Uber, especially for my early morning flight out of Romania. I highly recommend this service!

Bucharest Panoramic Sightseeing - Private City Tour

Scott_N, Oct 2025

Great intro to Bucharest

Had a 4 hour city tour with Toni interspersed between walking & being driven. Toni was an excellent guide & we ticked off all the key sights we wanted to visit. Especially enjoyed Revolution Square & understanding the detail around the overthrow of the communist government. Highly recommend this tour.

Bucharest Pub Crawl in the Old Town

Kevin_H, Jul 2025

An unforgettable night in Bucharest😁

Our guides, Katy, Andreea and Carmen, were absolute stars. Their energy and friendliness made the night not just fun, but truly special. They made everyone feel welcome, kept the group hyped, and ensured that everyone had a safe and exciting time. You get welcome shots,, and tons of laughs. It’s not just about drinking – it’s about connecting, dancing, and soaking in the vibrant energy of Bucharest. Whether you’re solo or with a group, this is hands down one of the best ways to experience the city's nightlife. Huge thanks to Andreea, Katy and Carmen for making the night so amazing – I’d do it again in a heartbeat! 🥳💃 Highly recommend – 10/10!

Dracula's Castle, Brasov and Peles Full-Day Tour from Bucharest

Renata_K, Jun 2025

Good trip

Be prepared for a very long day. Long drive and limited time so no messing about. Temperature about 6-7 degrees lower. The guide was good and helpful, bus clean. There was no toilet on the bus but guide arranges all so no preasure. The only dissapointment was not visiting Peles Cartle but Pelesor instead as tickets was sold out. Strongly suggest to by ticket un advance. Guide provided all information on the way so do not expect guided tour inside castles. I enjoed visiting both castles Pelesor and Bran. Brasov beautiful small town. Returned very tired but happy.
