Outstanding introduction to Bucharest. Ed was a terrific guide. Great storyteller. Would highly recommend this tour. Bikes are good. Interesting stops. Lots of opportunities to get great photos. No need for an ebike. Only one short hill. Very manageable.

Big group and bikes that had several problems meaning we lost 30 mins. Guide did not extend. Tour was on busy streets and not suitable for bikes. Bikes are no longer allowed in the old town! Do not recommend this tour as too few stops and too limited information.
A lovely day cycling around the city. Our tour guide was very knowledgable about the history of Bucharest and was happy to show us any part of the old town
Lucia was friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to understand. With only 2 of us it was very personalised. she told great stories integrated with the history of Romania increasing our understanding of this part of the world. we saw a range of architecture with great explanations. overall it was a great experience. And the bikes are easy to use too.
It was a very nice tour with a great guide, Lucia. The tour happened even when it was only me as the others could not make it.
What a wonderful way to see Bucharest and learn about its long complex history. Our guide Ed is a suma cum laude history graduate and his knowledge of the history of this beautiful city was exceptional!
The tour lasted around three hours, we biked about 10km and travelled through 3000 years of Romanian history, from battles over the city with the turks and the romans, to Vlad the Impaler and the history of the city from a commerce perspective on the silk road. Ed was super friendly and open, had an answer to all the questions and as a first generation “free” Romanian, you could tell he was passionate about what he was doing!
We would highly recommend this tour!!
There was a small miss communication between viator and the Company on which tour we were taking, but it all worked out in the end.
The only improvement on the tour would be to give the tour guides a tablet. Ed showed us some videos from the history of the country and city and it would have been nice to see it on a bigger screen!
It was a great trip with a very informative friendly guide. Very enjoyable!
We saw all the major sites and were told the history of various buildings and areas. Really interesting
Ed was a fantastic tour guide, perfect English, ready to answer any questions and extremely informative. Would highly recommend a city bike tour anywhere and our tour led by Ed was no exception. Communication was great and it was a lovely introduction to the city.
I have been on plenty of bike tours but Eduard is the best guide I have had! Super knowledgeable as he studied the Cold War in college, and is a an expert at all the histories of Bucharest. He was clear, concise and friendly. The bike tour was incredible as we got to see so many sights in 3 hours and I really loved how it starts at 6pm so we wouldn’t be too hot in the day time. I highly recommend this tour! Thanks Eduard for the amazing experience!
Lucia was an excellent guide we had the best time! Would return and do again 100 percent because it’s an excellent way to see the city
Lucia was an excellent guide. She is extremely knowledgeable and provided us a detailed history of Bucharest, its culture, and people. Highly recommend taking a tour with her.
A great way to see Bucharest. Our guide was a wealth of knowledge about the history of Budapest. A must do tour
Excellent communication via whatsapp prior to the tour, confirmed that they have small frame bikes for petite adult and kids bikes. Health and safety works differently in eastern europe, so no obligatory helmets or rules around 10 year olds on bikes next to traffic - but that is the fun of it. My daughter loved biking amongst traffic and felt a huge sense of achievement. Lucia was extremely knowledgeable and took us around all the main landmarks with an open honest conversation about the life in the country. Talking about her own experience as a child in the communist regime was so much more authentic than any revised facts commentary. We cycled on a very hot day and water was provided. All bikes were well maintained, gears worked well and had baskets to keep our bags. All in all, a very enjoyable half a day.
Bucharest by Bike! Lucia was fantastic, really knows Bucharest! Lucia was a pleasure to spend time with!
The bike tour around the city was fun and informative. Our guide Daniel led us through the streets and parks and provided lots of historic and cultural information. This bike tour was a great introduction to the city and Old Town.
Lucia was very nice and informative. Nice historical overview of the city. Not too much biking, but a lot seen.
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!
Dan was wonderful! I really enjoyed the tour. I learned so much and was able to see so much of the city. I highly recommended this tour.
Lucia was en excellent guide very informative and caring about the tour participants. She has a wonderful attitude!
It was a cool experience and well guided!
The bike was comfortable and the routes safe. Would have loved to have more parks included.
Much more fun way to explore Bucharest. Interesting facts and Florian was a great guide.
Nice beer stop on route!
The bike ride lasts approximately 4 hours and it's an easy going path. Lucia, the tour guide, is really nice, very friendly, very knowledgeable and funny! Would definitely recommend this bike tour!Bucharest is a beautiful city!
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!
This is an excellent tour to see around Bucharest. Lucia is great as a guide. She has vast knowledge of Bucharest and helps with numerous suggestions regarding museums, food, etc.
We had a great time with our tour guide Dan. He was very informative and gave us lots of information on the history of Romania and the sites around Bucharest. He’s very knowledgeable and personable.
Outstanding introduction to Bucharest. Ed was a terrific guide. Great storyteller. Would highly recommend this tour. Bikes are good. Interesting stops. Lots of opportunities to get great photos. No need for an ebike. Only one short hill. Very manageable.
Nice trip, not to fast paced. Learnt a lot on the way. Our guide was great, very knowledgeable. A pleasant experience.
Dan did a great job telling us about Romania's part in the history of the region and life in Romania while we pedaled through Bucharest, stopping at several important sites and churches. There was a lot of construction, we biked often in areas with pedestrians, and the city is not ideal for biking, but Dan did a nice job with us.
E bikes are available. Helpful for older travelers. Great guide friendly and knowledgeable
Good English.
Great tour. Our guide Lucia was really good. Explained everything very well. She even gave us a chocolate at the end of the tour. Highly recommend tour.
Wonderful way to see the important sights of the city at a slower pace. Additional, Edward, our guide, gave us interesting insights into the history, language, food and politics that have created modern day Romania.
I highly recommend taking this tour, it is excellent way to better understand Bucharest and the country.
