What are people saying about Bucharest

Theresa_R, May 2026

Awesome way to see the sights of Bucharest!

We really wonderful time touring with Alin! He was able to stop at places buses aren’t able to. And the weather was perfect to be in a tuk tuk. Alin gave aid a great tour of the “must see” places and some out of the way places with great commentary. We learned a lot about Bucharest and Romania.

Bucharest Half a Day Bike Tour

Janey_B, Apr 2026

Great Bucharest Bike Tour

We thoroughly enjoyed our Bucharest bike tour. Daniel is an excellent, knowledgeable guide sharing relevant, informative facts and highlights. A bike tour tour is a wonderful way to experience Bucharest coving more ground than a walking tour would allow. Highly recommend!

Wine Tasting in Bucharest

Nkechi, Apr 2026

A must-do experience in Bucharest for wine connoisseurs!

This was simply an amazing experience. I was the only one on this tour and it was one of the highlights of my Bucharest visit. I was generous quantities of wine and the charcuterie board. There was no rush and I was given enough time to really enjoy this experience! Thank you so much for being an amazing host, and also for the spicy jam! Highly recommend this tour!

Bran Castle, Peles and Brasov day trip

Great tour. Paying the extra for a private vechile and guide was well worth it. Dragos our guide and driver was excellent, explained everything very well, knowledgeable on Romania and the areas and sites we visited. Peles palace was well worth it, go early to avoid the crowds! Big thanks to Dragos, top guide for our day trip

Bucharest Ghosts Stories and Mythology

Bianca_W, Mar 2026

Great ghost tour with knowledgeable guide

I did the ghost and legends tour with Tudor on a rainy cold night. Despite the weather, the group was in good spirits, eager to hear stories about ghosts, demons, witches, and vampires. Tudor is a very knowledgeable guide who tailors the tours to the tastes of the group, drawing from rich knowledge about all things supernatural and explaining Romanian traditions and beliefs incredibly well. A brilliant spooky tour that led us past fascinating places and maybe a little too close to haunted buildings.

Dracula Castle, Peles Castle & Brasov-Private Tour from Bucharest

Julie_M, Mar 2026

Peles, Bran and Brasov

Beautiful March day in Romania! My husband and I booked a private tour. Our guide, Radu, was great - knowledgeable about the area, history and interesting facts. He was very patient with me as I get car sick and the winding roads were a bit of a challenge for me! Peles castle was lovely with amazing architecture and the amazing backdrop of the Carpathian Mountains. We also toured the two abbeys down the mountain from it - super interesting! I purchased these tickets online. Bran Castle did not disappoint! We purchased tickets (we included the torture tour part but it’s optional) at the bottom of the hill before walking up to the castle. It has such history and - the stories! We had lunch and strolled around Brasov which has an Eastern European feel. So pretty! Go to the Black Church and ask about the statue of the boy! We had delicious gelato - Radu can show where is the best! It is definitely a full day as it is a good distance from Bucharest but totally worth it. Wear your walking shoes and take a water bottle! Thanks Radu for sharing your beautiful country with us - great day!

I had a wonderful travel...

I had a wonderful travel experience exploring Romania, with its beautiful countryside and well-organized package. A special thanks to Emanual, our travel guide, who took great care of us over the two days and explained the history of each place in a very engaging way. I would highly recommend this 2-day package to anyone looking to discover Romania.

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.

Guided Walking Tour of Historical Bucharest

Matthew_T, Oct 2025

Very knowledgeable and lots of fun

Alina was a verifiable fountain of knowledge regarding the architectural, cultural, and societal history of Bucharest, Romania, the Balkans, Eastern Europe, Russia and their relationship to Western Europe and the US. She's very personable, has a great sense of humor, who challenged what we've been taught about the region. I feel fortunate to having her as our guide.

Ed really knew his stuff & it was fascinating to learn about the incredible history, culture & architecture from him. I would highly recommend this tour - you won’t be disappointed! 5 stars definitely!👍🤩

4h Bucharest Private Tour (2h by Car and 2h Walking in Old Town)

Jay_O, Jun 2025

Very nice introduction to Bucharest

I really liked this tour. It is a great way to get to know the city especially in the front part of your stay here. You are driven around to many many of the sites ranging from seeing Gypsy people and the flower selling to Victory Square to the Presidents house (former communist leader) , etc. What I really liked was how flexible they were. The day was quite hot AND we had a tour for later in the week to walk Old Town. This, our guide decided to do more driving and less walking. Then, when a surprise rain storm hit he still drove around showing us Bucharest. This is a really nice tour
