What are people saying about Bucharest

Chris_T, Oct 2026

A must have experience

The scenery is magic..travelling through the forests, especially during autumn when everything turns into cold brown. The traffic though is heavy and you have to spent a lot of time in a bus. Our guide, Marius, was very friendly, helpfull and professional

Bucharest Food Lovers Tour: Markets, Tastings & Hidden Spots

Camille_D, Oct 2026

Andreea was great!

Andreea was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. She took her time pointing out unique Romanian facts throughout our tour and answering everyone’s questions. The food portion was also super delicious. The freshness of the vegetables, especially the tomatoes, were out of this world. We left that tour stuffed with knowledge and memories.

Dracula's Castle, Peles Castle and Brasov - Private Day Trip from Bucharest

SH_S, Oct 2026

Thumb up guide and perfect day tour !

A breathtaking and inspiring masterpiece, Peles castle ! Thanks to Bogdan, we got fast access to enter into the castle. We had peaceful moments and ample time to admire the collection inside the castle. Brian castle, it’s a very simple and steep clifftop castle. The royal garden and lake below the cliff made it a tranquil place ( forgetting that we were at the Dracula proximity)! Brasov, a memorable medieval town !

Small-Group Day Trip to Dracula's Castle, Brasov and Peles Castle

V_K, Sep 2026

A great day trip!

Important to check emails and advice on booking entrance tickets. Tour agency did a great job with this but not all read emails. Time management is also important as it is not easy to see all 3 sites in one day. Having a passenger who was late to every meet up was a real hassle. Overall a great day with our driver Claudio and Romeo

Salt Mine - PrivateTour, Lunch at Winery and Dracula Grave

Willy_T, Sep 2026

Awesome experience with an awesome guide!

Awesome tour experience with our guide Claudiu! He is very knowledgeable and friendly who patiently answered all our queries about the places we visited as well as about life in Romania. The Slanic Salt Mine is one of the coolest place literally at 12 deg (Claudiu kindly reminded us to bring warm clothing for that!). The story and history at Snagov Monastery is also shared by our guide Claudiu. Overall a wonderful way to experience Romania! Highly recommended to all!

Slanic Salt Mine Day Trip from Bucharest

Tanya_N, Sep 2026

Interesting trip

Hearing Slănic salt mine is the biggest one in Europe, I searched and booked this tour because of its time frame matches my itinerary Meeting location: easy to 5 minute walk from my hotel Hilton garden in old town. I assume it would be a sign of Gray line It’s Universidate is a long big avenue We asked any one passing by, no one heard about this We ran into 2 persons who said they are tour guides but not Slanic salt mine . exactly at 8:30 am, a van with Grayline logo stopped to pick up my group During two hour drive, we had tour an audio tour and history of Bucharest The rest stop at a public gas station is nice, but it is crowded with long line at the public restroom. Luca store and it’s pastries looks great , I couldn’t buy anything bc too crowded and limited time (15 minutes ) Tickets are pre purchased by the company , getting on a shuttle drive through a tunnel and have a two hour walk Punctuation: good planning: 8:30 pick up by the curb , 11 am arriving, 1 pm leaving, ends tour at 3:30 pm ( heavy traffic on the way back to old town)

We had a lovely lunch at the restaurant she brought us to. It was a great day- so glad we picked this tour. Highly recommend both tour and Laura. Thank you for an amazing day.

Dracula's Castle, Peles Castle and Brasov Day Trip from Bucharest

Rebecca_C, Sep 2026

Vlad the Guide - Not the Impaler

Ask for Vlad. He was a great guide, very personable and had a fabulous sense of history. He gave you the general information and then detail and interesting depth to the history and fables regarding everywhere we went. He had great recommendations that we followed up on for lunch as well as what was worth seeing and what was perhaps not. It was a long day, but he is good company and well worth it.

Full Day Trip to Bulgaria from Bucharest

Karrie_M, Aug 2026

Bulgaira

I wish I could rate this higher than a 5-star!! We really enjoyed Bulgaria!! It was gorgeous! We had plenty of time for the fortress, time to eat, time to walk around Ruse as well as the other stops. It was a small tour (maybe 10-12 people). There were bathroom/snack/drink stops and nothing was rushed. 10/10 no real notes. If I could say anything it’d be that I wish the driver had talked a little bit louder to explain some of the things while in the van, but he was knowledgeable, gave plenty of time for everything and it was a truly enjoyable day!!!

Transylvania and Dracula Castle Full Day Tour from Bucharest

Dale_T, Aug 2026

Great tour - exactly as billed

Steffan was a great guide. He delivered commentary in English and Spanish and had the plan down to a science. We bought castle tickets for the timeslots mentioned in the details and everything worked perfectly. I felt sorry for those that did not buy tickets in advance because Peles was sold out.

Bucharest Hot Rod Experience

Dawn_B, Jan 2026

Mario karts in Bucharest

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.
