This tour is a travel in time from the medieval Bucharest with the ruins of the Princely Court or its many inns (Gabroveni Inn, Manuc's Inn) in the Old Town to the "Little Paris of the East" as Bucharest was nicknamed in the years '30s, due to the many French architecture styles of the buildings (The Palace of the Romanian National Bank, The Royal Palace, The Romanian Atheneum).

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.

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

Doina was very friendly, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and helpful. She went above and beyond the allocated time to show us the town and share as much as she could. She could answer our questions well too. She's well connected and knows the shops and restaurant owners, which was extremely useful when we needed the restroom. We didnt have any issues bringing our little one in a stroller.

This is a 5🌟 star tour thanks to our guide Doina. In 3 hours we saw a lot of Bucharest and aspects that we would never have known about without a guide! Thanks Doina, experience recommended.

Highly recommend! She went above and beyond to show us everything and was extremely knowledgeable about the countries history. She knew the history behind all of the stops we visited. She spent more time with us than she had to and was very friendly. Had a wonderful experience!
