What are people saying about Bucharest

Bucharest City Tour 4h

James_R, Jul 2026

Such an incredible...

Such an incredible personalized tour of Bucharest with our excellent driver/guide, Nicu. He helped customize the tour to our interests and took us to some very unique locations that we made sure to visit again later on in our trip. We were very happy to book this since some of our group had limited sightseeing time and got to see the best parts of the city in the afternoon tour.

Constanta and the Black Sea Private Tour from Bucharest

MaryEllen_K, Jul 2026

Spent a beautiful day at...

Spent a beautiful day at the beach! Booked this private tour to Constanta to see a different part of Romania and spend some time at the Black Sea. Our driver, Christian, could not have been more accommodating letting us decide amount of time we wanted to spent at beach. After beach stay, he recommended excellent Greek restaurant for lunch and then gave use a tour of old town. Christian was knowledgeable of the history and friendly/professional in his overall approach. If you decide to take this tour be prepared for the long drive - about 3 hrs each way (which we knew) but we got to the Black Sea!!!!

2-Day Private Tour of Transylvania from Bucharest

Tamara_M, Jul 2026

Momorable Visit to Transylvania

If you sign up for this, ask for Christian. He was spectacular! His advice and guidance were amazing and spot on! He got us to places early, told us where to eat, and filled us in on Romania's history. His advice was invaluable! Be sure to book the extension into the Carpathian Mountains. You will not regret it. The views were amazing while driving up the mountains. And on the way down, through the bear sanctuary, we saw big brown bears, not one but 9 (including a mother bear with cubs) right on the side of the road. Our experience with him remains the most memorable experience in Eastern Europe. One caveat, however. The tour company, booked us into a hotel in Brasov to which I would give 0 stars. No air conditioning, no screens on windows, no shower curtain, no bathtub stopper, no nothing and no refund. It was so bad that we left and booked ourselves into a different hotel for the night. If you book this tour, research the hotel to make sure it is a place you want to stay. Once again, don't miss the opportunity to experience Transylvania through the eyes of Christian. It will be a lasting memory for you.

Bucharest Half a Day Bike Tour

Andrew_C, Jul 2026

Amazing bike tour with Eduard

I have been on plenty of bike tours but Eduard is the best guide I have had! Super knowledgeable as he studied the Cold War in college, and is a an expert at all the histories of Bucharest. He was clear, concise and friendly. The bike tour was incredible as we got to see so many sights in 3 hours and I really loved how it starts at 6pm so we wouldn’t be too hot in the day time. I highly recommend this tour! Thanks Eduard for the amazing experience!

Gordon_S, Jun 2026

Well worth the time and investment! Highly recommend! Alin makes it worthwhile trip.

Alin was a great tour guide and made this an entirely worthwhile trip. He was very friendly and knowledgeable of the history. I felt very safe while driving around busy traffic and we had a good afternoon discussing and connecting over our kids and fun things while seeing many sights that day. My phone battery ran out at our last stop and he took pictures for and of me on his phone and then sent to me. Very professional.

Michelle_J, Jun 2026

Peles and Bran castles and Braşov tour - full day of excellent sites/guide

Wonderful tour with our guide Andrei to see Castle Bran, Peles Castle and Braşov. Highly recommend Andrei he was on time very professional and knowledgeable about each place we visited. It’s a long day but we really enjoyed all of it. Leaving Bucharest at 7 am got us to Peles before the crowds and it helped to enjoy the castle and grounds. It’s stunning to see how beautiful the interior rooms are each carefully curated and furnished with the finest art and fixtures. Highly recommend this tour!

Valentin gave us a wonderful introduction to Bucharest. He was knowledgeable, personable and flexible. In 2 hrs he covered a great deal of important historical and current sites. The information was accented by pictures he showed us of events in the history of the city. All this and he dropped us off at a recommended restaurant. Highly recommended.

Bucharest Ghosts Stories and Mythology

Tanner_M, May 2026

Perfect Experience. Highly Recommend

Had Rareş as the tour guide and it was a fantastic experience. He was really knowledgeable about the myths and I really felt immersed in the Romanian folklore. He would ask at the end of each stop if we had any questions, but I couldn’t even think of any because the way that he would tell stories were so expressive and really drew me in where I couldn’t really think of anything on the spot. I’m a solo traveler and I highly recommend this experience for anyone traveling to Bucharest, this is a must.

Bulgaria - Private Tour - Veliko Tărnovo, Arbanasi, Rock Church

Stephanie_B, Mar 2026

Fantastic full day of sightseeing

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!

Life under Communism

Christopher_V, Nov 2025

Best tour guide we've had in years!

Cristine was a wonderful guide. Besides being very knowledgeable, her clarity of speaking English made the tour much better for me, as I am very hearing impaired and have some difficulty walking distances. When the tour stopped she always did so where I could sit or lean. Very few guides we've met (hundreds over the years) have been so accomodating. She is a remarkable guide.
