Description

The best sights of Bucharest in one tour. Learn about the two “bad guys” of Romania—Dracula and Ceausescu. Were they heroes or just cruel leaders?

The tour will take you from a part of the Old Town at Coltea to the Palace of Parliament, the heaviest building on earth, across Dambovita, our main river, and through the famous cobble streets of the Old Town.

Our tourists say that the tour is one of the best they took in their lives. This is because it is not only history, but also legends of the city, anecdotes, food recommendations and explanations, understanding the Romanian culture. Plus, our guides are all local Romanians that respect and love this city of contrasts.

Great tour

Very informative and great tour. Would definitely recommend it

Gerwald Meulman · November 2026

Historical information, not enough walking

Our guide knew allot of detailed historical facts. For me to much information about side issues. Therefore it was less of a walk, but more standing and listening, not my thing.
