Taste Bucharest through peasant foods, Obor Market, local drinks, old neighborhoods, and a tram ride with a friendly local guide.

“This tour is about so much more than food - although there is plenty of that as well. Alex was a top-notch guide for our group of 5. He introduced himself at the meeting point with a fresh, warm pretzel for us each. After strolling through some neighborhoods and finding out facts about who owns and lives in the pre-communism palaces, we went to a small neighborhood cafe where we had sour cherry palinka in an ice cold little cup along with a platter of typical meats, cheeses, spreads and bread. Yum! After this, we hopped on a bus to head to the large market where everything was sold from…”

Taste five premium Romanian wines in Bucharest’s Old Town, paired with cheese and charcuterie at friendly Abel’s Wine Bar.

“We booked the wine tasting experience after reading reviews. We wanted to get a better understanding of Romanian wines and culture and it didn't disappoint. We were warmly welcome and enjoyed a two hour experience of Romania. The wines we tasted were from different regions of Romania and from small reserved casts. Each were different and was accompanied by a generous cheese board. We had time to relax and enjoy the wine and speak with the others people sat around us which was very interesting. I would recommend two things to further improve this experience. Don't have two groups overlapping as this was distracting and became noisy as one group…”

Explore Bucharest on a private walking tour with Old Town stories, Revolution Square, communist landmarks, and a traditional Romanian meal.

“Constantin was my guide, and he also had a new lady, Andra, with him who would be starting the job soon. I was the only person on this tour, so I could ask all the questions I wanted! They were both so knowledgeable about the history of their city and country. The restaurant was great, maybe a bit too much food! Make sure you are hungry. Lots of walking, but since it was like a private tour, the pace was perfect for me. It was just what I wanted. I took this tour in July 2018.”

“the guide did not manage time between vineyards well, actual wine tasting was shorter than the sommelier history on the vineyard. Because of this poor management lunch was skipped and the guide had a verbal disagreement with the second vineyard sommelier, yet the second vineyard had better time management between the history and the wine tasting”

Taste Bucharest from pretzel and yogurt to market mici and papanasi, with tram rides, local history, and an English-speaking guide.

“The guide was very nice, but we felt that it was strange that we had to start at one point in the city and then take a tram ride back and forth to get to the different stops. It felt too spread out. In addition we would’ve enjoyed more descriptions/explanations of the food or history, the guide gave us a lot of time to just wander around while he waited in line to order food instead of making it more interesting. Lastly we did not receive everything that was written in the description of the tour, we were supposed to each get a beer and we only got one. It…”

Explore Bucharest through Romanian food, royal landmarks, communist-era stories, monasteries, and Old Town dining with Dan and Patricia.

“Friendly Guide Dan shared interesting information relating to the history of Bucharest and its buildings. A walking tour with two stops for food. The first stop was at a glass dome on the main street where we were offered a traditional snack : a donut type pancake with savoury and sweet fillings. We were on our own in the dome and moved a few chairs to sit around the table. Dan served us from the adjoining shop. We then walked to a bar house, which was busy and had a bustling atmosphere. We would have loved a drink there however we just looked around before walking to the old town…”
