Excellent experience. Had an area to practice. We were an older group 60s. We had no problems. I am short and they put a cushion behind me. This is a blast. We would do it again. Sooooooo much fun!

This is something different to do whilst in Bucharest! We had a great time. I would recommend booking a weekend morning as the roads in Bucharest are crazy any other time but the instructor was amazing. Good tutorial before you go out onto the roads and really clear guidance once you are out and about. Would definately recommend booking this. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Fantastic tour, great fun, fabulous way to see Bucharest. I can highly recommend this tour. 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    This is great fun, you...

    Robert_P, Oct 2026
    This is great fun, you are basically driving a go cart with a hotrod body around the streets of bucharest. The team running this are very professional leading you around for an hour. The hotrods are easy to drive and everyone in our group loved it.

    Fantastic - so much fun!

    So much fun. Slightly terrifying whilst going through the instructions at the start, but once you are out on the roads it was fine. Felt very safe with the instructors

    Exellent and good fun,...

    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

    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 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

    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,
