Spooky superstitious fun
Fascinating tour around parts of Bucharest you would probably never see yourself as a tourist. So interesting to hear about the tradions, customs and superstitions, many of which survive to this day. Our guide, Delia was friendly, informative and told many stories with a personal element which made them really accessible. Great, fun tour.

Brilliant. Highly recommend!
We had a fantastic day exploring the Transfăgărășan Road with our guide, Andrei! He was really friendly, chatty and informative, sharing lots of interesting facts along the way. He took us to a wonderful restaurant tucked away in the forest, and we had plenty of time to explore and take in the incredible views at the top of the mountain. Unfortunately, we didn’t spot any brown bears, but that’s Mother Nature for you! 🐻 All in all, a brilliant trip and a great way to experience Romania’s beautiful scenery. Highly recommend this tour! 😊

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.

Very interesting
We had a good experience with our bike tour. It was just 2 of us on the bike tour. Radu was our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable of the history in Bucharest and we saw all of the highlights. He gave us good recommendations of places to explore and restaurants after the tour as well!

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)

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 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.

We had an excellent day trip to Northern Bulgaria. Our guide, Serban, was friendly, professional, and very accommodating throughout the tour. We learned so much about both Bulgaria and Romania, and the experience was informative as well as enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to explore the region in a day.

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.
