Top Bucharest Bus Tours

This was easily the nicest bar I visited in Bucharest. Not at all touristy. I was the only one doing a tasting but that didn't detract from the experience. Was given interesting explanations for each wine, then allowed time to enjoy them while nibbling the generous portion of cheeses and cold meats. If I was a local, I'd be a regular in this bar. Book this experience, it's a couple of hours well spent.

Fabulous trip and a very entertaining guide. I loved being on a minibus rather than a coach. We had a toilet stop at a garage which was a nightmare because you have to buy something to use the toilet and the place was absolutely packed. I could happily have skipped this. The monastery in the rock face was so interesting and the more modern monastery at ground level was beautiful. Please note that the climb up to the original Rock Monastery is steep and the ground is very uneven. Definitely worth going though. Veliko Tarnovo was also beautiful. The scenery was breathtaking. We had an enjoyable walk along the fortress walls and up to the Church and then another steep walk uphill to a gorgeous paved street of shops selling all sorts of tourist treasures and hand made crafts. We couldn’t do the last of our three stops because the road had been closed but, to be honest, we were exhausted by then anyway. I would have preferred to have longer at Veliko Tarnovo and not had to rush.

We had a blast and learned a semester’s worth of college level history/political science. Lucia is actually college educated on what she is talking about. She has obviously retained a great deal more than I ever did. The pace of ride and information was very comfortable. What a beautiful city to see by bike. We have done quite a few bike tours, and this one definitely stood out for it’s easily digestible content that provided so much perspective on the communist past, the Ceauscescu years, and the Roman/Ottoman influences that persist even today. We had walked around the day before, but would have missed so much had we not rode with Lucia. Great bikes, too! Thank-you for water, chocolates, and personal history!

Christina was just a joy as a guide. Not only does she know the city like the back of her hand and the history of Romania, but she had so many personal and differing perspectives to share about various events. It was invaluable time spent together. We spent more time together than our allotted time just due to good conversations. I would highly recommend her to anyone coming to Bucharest. And Bart lost out on her great potential! She is a gem!!!

The private tour of communism was amazing. Our guide Andra met us at our hotel lobby so we did not have to locate a separate location. Andra was very informative and honest. She shared many first hand personal experiences from her family life. This approach made the experience come alive. She planned the walking tour in a very sequential manner helping us to understand how the rule of communism affected the population. At the conclusion of the tour she asked how she could help us. As a result she walked with us to our next location. We highly recommend this tour and Andra as a guide. Worth every penny. You won’t be disappointed.

We had Ed as a guide and he was AMAZIN G!! He taught us so much history and fun f acts that we did not know. My girlfriend is f rom Romania and she was even left in ama zement at all the new information she learn ed. He is an excellent guide, kind, friendly a nd accepting! We will definitely book with t his company again! Highly recommend!!

Toni was excellent at giving us an introduction to the city.. We thought the open air Museum was lovely and beautiful and well worth a visit. My favorite part was seeing some historical sites in the city and hearing about the history of communism in Romania. I appreciated the the refresher course on the fall of communism. I remember vividly watching it on the news as it was happening years ago, but being in the place where it happened really brought it to life. We definitely would recommend this tour.

We both had a very enjoyable time with Alina. Her knowledge and enthusiasm of Bucharest was excellent and the tour was full of interesting facts about the local customs, history and culture of the city and what it’s like to live in Bucharest over the past decades and which still very much lives on today. I would very much recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city. We found a great help having it early on in our day as it was a was a great starting point for the few days we spent in Bucharest. If you’re lucky enough to have Alina as your guide that will be an extra bonus.
