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.

Relaxing sightseeing tour

Paula_V, Apr 2026

It was a cool experience and well guided! The bike was comfortable and the routes safe. Would have loved to have more parks included.

Fun way to tour

Sarah_S, Mar 2026

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

Rosemarie_A, Oct 2025

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.

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.

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

Robert_M, Jul 2025

Excellent all round information on the city and we managed to cover a considerable amount of ground both physical and historical. Ed really knows his subject.

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.

Fantastic tour

Dana_Y, Jun 2025

The bike tour was nice. I went with my family and we had a good time. We were able to see multiple sights and learn about the history of Bucarest. It was nice and relaxing not too much and not too little. We got a taste of Romanian chocolate and had a water stop as well. We also had a drink stop along the way which was really good. Our tour guide was really nice, fun and a great storyteller. Ed did a super job. We highly recommend him and this tour. Huge highlight for our kiddos.

Informative

Amazing bike tour! Alex is very kind and friendly! A lot of stories to tell, he is very professional and has a lot of knowledge about Romania. Fun bike ride to key places in Bucharest! I totally recommend this bike tour!

OK bike tour because of the guide

Jackie_H, Nov 2024

Guide was hard to understand with a high pitched voice. Half the group wanted to stop for toilets and coffee. She had us all vote with only made things awkward afterwards. Overall, not bad but not great either.
