Bucharest day walking tour
Nomad01705302835, Dec 2024
Guide was very knowledgeable and learned lot about Bucharest and Romanian history.. Really Delft worth for spending three hour with guide. Even she showed me few good restaurants where I.can find local authentic food
Bucharest walking tour is a great introduction to this Romanian city
Donna B, May 2024
Excellent walking tour by a very pleasant female guide with very good English skills. I learned a lot from her about Romanian history and life in Bucharest. By walking we were able to see some of the less accessible historical venues, such as the previous brothel alley and the side avenues that used to have inns and stables for the merchants. I highly recommend taking this tour for anyone visiting Bucharest for the first time.
Great Introduction to Bucharest

Walking is often the best way to see a city and also with a local guide. The tour took just under 5 hours rather than 3, so it was a day trip. The guide was knowledgeable and spoke from personal experience of life under communism. It was very interesting but also sad to see the abandoned buildings and homes. A very good background in understanding Bucharest. Some streets uneven. Do let the guide know if you want to pick up a coffee en route
