Are guided tours in Bucharest worth it?
Yes, guided tours in and from Bucharest are worth it, especially if you have limited time in the city.

Per one customer who booked the Bucharest Food Lovers Tour: Markets, Tastings & Hidden Spots, "Julian was so knowledgeable on the history of Bucharest and also a lot of fun to spend the day with. We enjoyed the tour, the food, the beer and the conversation. We had a great group of 8 who got along well. We took public transportation to a really cool area of the city we would not have visited otherwise and saw a large market where the locals shop."
