Half day Bucharest
Helen_M, Oct 2024
Trip was OK A bit disappointed as we couldn't visit the People Palace so went to Summer Palace instead which was interesting. The tour guide was OK but a bit loud
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear you found the Summer Palace interesting, though we understand your disappointment about not being able to visit the Parliament Palace. As noted in our marketing materials and tour description, visits to the Parliament Palace are subject to their availability, which is unfortunately beyond our control. We do everything we can to secure access, and we, too, wish we could guarantee this experience for all our guests. However, when it’s not possible, we make sure to provide an alternative that still adds unique value to the tour. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the guide's volume, and we'll share this with our team to ensure everyone has the best possible experience. Thank you for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back in the future for an even more memorable tour!
An informative 5(+) hour tour. Well worth the cost.
Tennille_G, Jul 2024
Narcis was an overall great tour guide. He apologized for being one minute late. He was very knowledgeable about many areas and the history of Bucharest and offered many useful options to consider outside of the tour (viewing the 41 fountains at night on a weekend (for a show like the Bellagio fountain in Las Vegas) and sampling Romanian wine). The tour was scheduled for 5 hours, he was very accommodating to our small group of three and did not attempt to rush us through any of the sites. He even added a stop to the Anthenel…it was gorgeous inside and worth the additional stop (and cost 10 Lei). We spent nearly 6 hours touring. Narcis was very engaging and communicative so it did not feel like 6 hours. The tour transports was via a person, privately owned car. It was one guide to three clients/guests. This 5 hour tour was a perfect introduction to Bucharest. I only wish I could have scheduled it for my first day.
Would go again!

The tour operator was very professional. He provided a pleasant first look at this large and beautiful city. He took the time to show us everything we asked for. He went the extra mile showing us hidden gems and top attractions alike. I highly recommend their operation.
