Best way to see Budapest

DanielWellicome_D, May 2026
A great way to see Bucharest. Our guide was a wealth of knowledge about the history of Budapest. A must do tour

Excellent orientation of Bucharest on bike

Praveen_V, May 2026
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.

Great Bucharest Bike Tour

Janey_B, Apr 2026
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!

Wonderful!!

Much more fun way to explore Bucharest. Interesting facts and Florian was a great guide. Nice beer stop on route!

Great 4hour-long bike ride in Bucharest city centre!

AIKATERINIIRO_K, Nov 2025
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!

Lucia brings the history to life

Dave_o, Oct 2025
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!

Lovely ride

Dhrubajyoti_S, Oct 2025
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.

Great way to get a quick overview of the city

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.

Romanian Life and History on a Bike

TomTierney, Sep 2025
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.

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.

We had an amazing 4-hour bike tour with our guide, Lucia, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip! She was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience both fun and informative. The pace was perfect, and she always made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe while riding. Lucia shared fascinating stories and insights along the way that gave us a deeper understanding of the city, its history, and its culture. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a great mix of sightseeing, activity, and local expertise. Thank you, Lucia, for such a memorable experience!

It changed my view of Romania...what an interesting and fantastic place ...

Ted_S, Aug 2025
Great guide. Nice and easy ride and with many stops at historical sites. Got a short history lesson on pre communist era. Good value for the money.

Great way to explore the city

Jessie_H, Aug 2025
Great way to see the city! The pace was good with plenty of time for pictures and insights from our guide Dan. The ride was pretty flat and not too strenuous which was good because it was hot, but we still covered a lot of interesting ground.

Outstanding !

Glenn_K, Jul 2025
Can say enough great things about our tour guide Ed. He was courteous, fun, extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of history and culture. Start your journey in Bucharest with a tour with Ed and his company.

Great bike tour

Fantastic tour

Katherine_C, Jun 2025
A great bike tour with Alex. A nice gentle pace (it was 35 degrees) with plenty of stops in the shade. Alex was very knowledgeable and friendly and spoke excellent English. The bikes enabled us to see many different parts of the city. All in all, highly recommended.

Great intro to Bucharest

Andrew_B, Jun 2025
Great experience. Alex, did a fantastic job. Extremely knowledgeable on history. Kept everything at a good pace and answered all the questions. I’m glad I went. Also, gave me ideas of where else to go while visiting. Andy B.
