Exellent and good fun, but be sure you are on the correct side of the mall for the meeting spot as the directions given put you on the wrong side, but aside from that perfect

Mario karts in Bucharest

Dawn_B, Jan 2026

This exeprience is one not to miss seeing the town in a mini hot rod. Looking at the beautiful city and the amazing buildings while feeling like you are in your own little game. The tour guide was amazing and took some amzing photos and videos of our experince. The group was small so felt better the guide kept us all together and safe. I would do this again it was so much fun.

This was so much fun and...

Seniz_K, Nov 2025

This was so much fun and we had the best time! Highly recommend this to anyone visiting Bucharest!!!

Great fun - but remember...

Donna_R, Nov 2025

Great fun - but remember to take your driving licence or a picture of it as this is needed for the form. Also you are asked to take out extra insurance so just be aware there may be additional charges to pay. Other than that my partner had a great time driving round the streets while I stayed at the shopping mall - I had left my driving licence in the hotel! So couldn’t do the tour but was refunded the money for my part of the tour

Great experience to discover boekarest

Rodrique_D, Aug 2025

Great experience to discover boekarest and also to be looked from everybody in the city when you drive by

Great fun

Hayley_S, Jul 2025

Really fun tour round Bucharest! Driving with traffic is a little scary but the guides help you through. No idea what we were driving past so don’t go on the tour if you’re looking for an actual guided tour! Cars are small but surprising spacious. They have stop and go pedals but no gears. Would definitely do it again!

Way too much fun!

Gretel_B, May 2025

This was just the most fabulous fun. Our tour guides were legends at steering us through the traffic. I have to say I couldn't wipe the smile off my face. Honestly it's a must do. The hot rods weren't quite as per the pictures though 😉, but were great little pocket rockets. Highly recommended, and definitely not just a tour for the guys. This lady had an absolute blast 😍

Zooming Through Bucarest

MATTHEW_S, Apr 2025

She nice childhood I have dreamed of riding a gocart through city streets. I never dreamed it would happen in Downtown Bucharest. The cars are very fun to drive. Everyone you pass smiles and waves at you. Antonio, our guide, worked around an ongoing marathon to give us a great tour even though parts of the usual route were closed. I highly recommend it.

Amazingly GREAT Time with Andrei!

Tish_H, Apr 2025

I traveled to Romania for vacation with my cousin and just had to do this tour.... & Oh boy! What a great decision. This tour is A MUST DO!

The best attraction in...

mohammmad_a, Apr 2025

The best attraction in bucharest. You will try something you never tried before. Also you will see the city from different angles

Fun and fast city tour

SallyVanessa_R, Mar 2025

It was an amazing tour even tho it rained the day before. The guys who where explaining the cars and our guide Andrei were amazing. He took lots of pictures, looked out for us and was showing us amazing places. The group was great and it has been such an nice experience. Absolute highlight of my trip:)

A must do activity

Chris_G, Nov 2024

About the most fun you can have on 4 wheels in Bucharest. Well worth the money! Just remember to wrap up and bring extra layers in the winter months.

Unique drive

Joanne_C, Nov 2024

Fun riding through the town guide took photos and videos. Brilliant fun but nervous at the same time

Life time memory

Joni_W, Oct 2024

This was literally the best thing I have done in years. I smiled all the way round. If you come to Bucharest this is a must. I’m Planning on coming again with friends to do it again. 100% book this tour.

Great fun

Fiona_D, Sep 2024

Hot Rodding in Bucharest

DONALD_L, Jul 2024

Driving miniature hot rods through the city streets of Bucharest was such a thrill ride! I felt like a big kid who got to drive a race car for the first time. These little cars are fun and fast! Our tour guide was friendly and kept us safe throughout our experience.

Fun, amazing and unique experience

lynsey_h, Jul 2024

There was a mix up with our booking which meant the session wasn't running. This was hugely disappointing as we were on our way to the activity when I found this out by calling to say we were running late. However, I really cant fault Hot Rod Bucharest, Dragos went above and beyond to ensure we were still able to take part in the session and arranged for a member of his staff to come in especially for us and carry out the session. (which just ended up being 1.5 hours later) I was so appreciative of this as it was a present for my partners 40th birthday. The activity was amazing, such a fun unique experience, explained well and 1 hour was plenty of time to enjoy the karts. Paul our instructor took many photos of us which was so kind and he did everything he could t make our experience enjoyable and fun. I would highly recommend Hot rod Bucharest, very professional lovely people.

An absolute must!!

Kim_S, Jul 2024

An absolute must when in Bucharest!! I don’t think I’ve ever had that much fun on a vacation tour. We were able to see different parts of the beautiful city in a completely unique way. Our guide was so great as well. We haven’t stopped talking about it or telling people we meet that they have to try it. If we were here longer we would do it again!

Must do!!!

Susan_P, May 2024

This didn’t come up when researching Bucharest before our trip but friends saw them whilst walking. Was such a fantastic adventure. I’m 60 so was a little hesitant but the guides were excellent in getting us through the route together. The highlight of our stay,

Pedal to the metal

Chris_F, Apr 2024

Must Do in Bucharest

Kassidy_F, Mar 2024

The guides were absolutely amazing and were able to answer any questions we had, mostly my husband because he’s a curious mechanic 😅. The ride itself was a ton of fun and they were able to get so many photos. So many people took photos of us on the street that we felt famous lol

AMAZING FUN!!

Angie_H, Mar 2024

We’ve just done hot rods with Dragos, what a great experience! Dragos explained Eve really well and he took some great pictures for us. We had longer that we planned and it was brilliant driving around the city. Highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed! Ange & Amy

Fantastic tour! Highly recommend

Simrute_K, Feb 2024

We absolutely loved this tour! Firstly I had lots of questions prior to booking and Dragos was extremely helpful answering all my questions very promptly. The staff running the tour were lovely and very friendly. The cars themselves were really cool, they’re fast and it’s such a cool experience. You drive them on the roads and drive through Bucharest and visit some landmarks. The tour guides takes photos and videos for you to keep and the overall tour is run really well and I felt safe with them leading the way. Would highly recommend as it’s such a different and cool experience! Thanks Dragos and team!

Fun fun fun

Nigel_W, Sep 2023

Absolutely fantastic. Racing round the streets of Bucharest in a hot rod go cart! What’s great experience.

Awesome time

Margaret_L, Sep 2023

Very fun, organized and the gentlemen were great! Loved zooming around the city! You got a training lesson and then you were off going around the city!!
