Elena was a terrific guide.
Elena was terrific! She was engaging with a sense of humor on a serious subject. She grew up under communist influence and experienced firsthand life under Ceausescu. We did a great deal of walking and it was an insightful experience and discussion. Recommend. She is passionate about the subject and her country! Elena provided reading material and movie material as well for anyone interested in learning more.

An Excellent Driver and Wonderful Guide
Claudiu was an outstanding driver and made our trip from Bucharest to Peleș Castle, Bran Castle, and Brașov truly memorable. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and shared so many interesting stories and insights along the way. It was clear that he knew everyone in the local community, which made our experience feel especially authentic.
He was always prompt and reliable when picking us up from our tours, and we always felt comfortable and well taken care of. Most of all, Claudiu was fun to listen to and made the long drives enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for a better driver and highly recommend him!

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)

Lucia was friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to understand. With only 2 of us it was very personalised. she told great stories integrated with the history of Romania increasing our understanding of this part of the world. we saw a range of architecture with great explanations. overall it was a great experience. And the bikes are easy to use too.

A must-do if you love history.
Alex was beyond amazing. So much history and information. He was exceptional with knowledge and was able to answer every question. He really knows the Romanian history and culture and shared with enthusiasm. We have done many tours in many countries and Alex has raised a high bar. He thought of everything and it was the perfect pace. He even made local recommendations. We couldn't be happier! I can't give this tour and Alex enough stars.

Vlad's tour
We had a very good day travelling from Bucharest to Transylvania. Our guide Vlad was very knowledgeable and experienced. He talked about history, suggested local meals and sweets. We visited two castles and a nice old town Brashov. Mountains are very beautiful - really worth visiting!

Spectacular views and a great day tour
We had a fantastic time of this tour.
We enjoyed wonderful views of Balea Lake and the ‘Top Gear’ road. We were so lucky to see bears on our way up and down including babies!
It is a long journey and the winding rounds may affect you if you suffer from travel sickness- definitely take some medication prior to the tour. Our guide was Pedro who was knowledgeable and helpful. A really great day trip - the views were spectacular. Would highly recommend!

Romania already has...
Romania already has enough creepy history and spooky legends to keep you looking over your shoulder, but this tour brought all of it to life. 👻🇷🇴
Katy was an AMAZING storyteller — smart, knowledgeable, hilarious, and somehow made every story feel like we were actually there when it happened. You can tell she genuinely knows her stuff and knows exactly how to keep a group entertained.
And whoever arranged the rain, perfectly timed flickering streetlights, and overall haunted Bucharest atmosphere deserves a raise. 😂 Clearly paid actors. 10/10 production value.
If you’re visiting Bucharest and want something different from the typical sightseeing tour, DO THIS ONE. You’ll learn a ton about Romania’s darker, weirder history, laugh along the way, and possibly spend the rest of the night questioning every shadow you see.
Absolutely worth it. 👻🖤 Would 100% recommend — especially if Katy is your guide!

Great way to see Bucharest!
Bucharest is a big city with important sites spread far apart. We did the 2 hour tuk-tuk tour with Robert and loved it. We saw a lot and Robert came prepared with historical pictures so we could fully appreciate what we were seeing. We didn’t go in any buildings, rather Robert gave us advice about coming back later for a visit. One note, the top of the tuk-tuk is clear plastic, so be sure to wear your sunscreen. Highly recommend this for first time visitors to Bucharest!

Bucharest Airport Transfer and Addition 4 Hr Private Bucharest City Tour
This “tour” was an excellent choice. I say “ tour” because it was just airport transportation. Great, Great communication and very responsive. The driver was on time, informative and VERY nice. I would rate this choice 5 stars and would recommend anyone to select this choice for transportation. We also worked with the owner to book a 4 hour private tour as well as transportation to the river cruise port. Excellent!

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Bucharest is a vibrant capital that boasts lively neighborhoods, grand architecture, and a strong connection to Romanian history and folklore. Bucharest day trips often take you beyond the city, with guided tours to landmarks such as Bran Castle—also known as Dracula’s Castle—and the medieval town of Brașov. Other options include food and wine tastings, pub crawls through the Old Town, or day hikes in the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains. Considering the depth of culture and nature you’ll find in and outside of Bucharest, these tours are not to be missed.
