Local Hosts turns tourists into locals and locals into tourists.
We know that during a tour it's best to stop for refreshments and quick bites! Thus, we've included them in all our tours. Join us for a different experience in small groups and off-the-beaten-path views.
For a back-to-basics tour, we give you an overview of our recent past and our older much more glorious history. Starting from the University Square - probably the most popular meeting point in the city, we then move along Calea Victoriei where aristocrats, merchants, communist officials, and then new capitalists shouldered each other, in their respective eras, to get a place in the city’s oldest route. We then hop in the Old Town, through a secret passage, to see tiny and gorgeous medieval churches as well as the latest boho-bougie architectural statements. You’ll also get a glimpse into the many controversies behind the House of the People. We’ll end the tour at a grand traditional inn with beer and local bites.

This a very interesting tour. Our guide Mircea took us to the Romanian TV station which broadcasted already in the communist time. They were live on air 24hrs during the revolution in 1989, for several days, with little live breaks only to recover some machines that ran hot. Historical place.
Cool tour, cool guide. Highly, recommended!

The guide, Mircea, really went above and beyond to make sure I had a great afternoon in Bucharest. He was very knowledgeable and gave me an excellent insight into life in Bucharest. He even made sure I got to my hotel safely at the end of the afternoon, as well as send me a follow up email with YouTube clips of things we had discussed. He really did a great job and I look forward to his tours when I, hopefully, return to Romania.

I was in Bucharest on business and only had a little bit of time to visit. I picked the right tour! This was the perfect balance of sightseeing, history, culture and architecture. I had so much fun with Mircea. I could have listened to his stories the whole day! It also helped that immediately upon meeting, he gave me a really yummy local snack. This is tour perfection! Thank you Mircea!

A day to remember! I had this free after noon in Bucharest but conditions were pretty much all day with fairly severe localised flooding. However, in one sense it was a good call; what else could I have done on an extremely wet afternoon in Bucharest? My only other option would have been to sit in the hotel room all day. On a day of adversity such as this there is the opportunity for host to show their quality. We had torrential rain all afternoon but had a fabulous time. Mircea my host was top notch, informative, interesting and willing to go the extra mile. What was also good was that this was actually a private tour, being the only one that afternoon and the tour was supposed to last aprox.3 hrs but lasted 7.5 hrs, largely because we had numerous stops to dry off in bars/cafes/restaurants and you get a real feel for the city away from the tourist spots, discovering a completely new and surprising Bucharest. All in all I couldn't praise the experience and the host enough.

It was a great tour! Mircea is very enthusiastic guide, he showed undiscovered parts of Bucharest, we managed to have a coffee at the Parliament building, and in the end of the tour we tried the local food as well. Meanwhile he shared different stories about the local people, communist history and historical facts. One of the best tours I ever had, definitely recommend!
