Top 10 Sightseeing Tours in Bucharest, Romania

February 14, 2022 Esmeralda Fenner

Vlad the Impaler stated his claim to Bucharest in 1459. His citadel on the Dambovita was the first of flotillas of palaces, many of which still stand. Four subway lines and a modern bus network transport visitors and commuters. Nicknamed "Little Paris", Bucharest's elegant early 20th-century architecture shows French influences. Don't miss the Village Museum, Romanian Athenaeum and the Peasant Museum. You can't miss the Palace of Parliament, the second-largest building in the world (after the Pentagon).

Due to the current covid situation, I had a private tour that day, which was awesome. Mathias was a great guide, has a lot of general Romanian knowledge along with historical. This made for great conversation on the way to and from the castles. I highly recommend the tour and would gladly do it again with friends and family in the future.

I cannot say enough good things about Toni Tatar. Ours is a unique story in that I was unable to go on the tour due to the COVID 19 quarantine. However, prior to this unexpected issue, Toni was incredible. We were to take a private tour to see my grandmother’s village which she left in 1907. Besides crafting the exact tour I wanted, Toni researched my family name in this area and found 7 other.relatives who emigrated at that time. Without his research the trip would have been much less meaningful. Toni was on top of all of our needs and wants. His kindness and professionalism came through in every email. Travel will eventually be safe again at which time I will go to Romania and meet this remarkable man. Most likely I will stay longer than planned in 2020 because of my comfort with working with him.

Great company to deal with. Our planning and booking was with Bogdan and all replies were quick and informative. We decided on a 2 day tour. Collection from airport late then straight to hotel Bucharest, early collection the next day with our guide Nick, we had a quick tour around the city and then onto mountains and Brasov. Overnight stay in Brasov. We requested a change to the next day itinery which was met so we could say we went off the beaten toursit path. Nick was very informative and enaging and always met our needs and understood our requirements from the trip. Before Nick left us in Bucharest back at the hotel he arranged a booking for us at the Palace of the Parliament so we knew which tour we were going on. In the price of the trip we also had a early collection from the hotel back to the airport even though our tour ended 2 days before. No stress, everything organised and everthing worked our great.

We spent two amazing days in Dracula’s Land guided by Dan. On the first day we explored Bucegi Natural Park, a beauty of nature covered in snow. We spent the night in a comfy lodge with fire place and mulled wine. The second day we visited mountain villages and after lunch we asked Dan if he could bring us to a ski resort for 2h of skiing. So we arrived in Poina Braso and enjoyed skiing in the afternoon. Everything was beyond expectations and we highly recommend 4x4 Wild Tours. Dankeschon Dan fur alles!

I booked this within 2 hours of the start of the tour on my last day in Belgrade and it was absolutely worth it. My guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and thorough. He even took me to the airport at the end so that I could catch my flight. You know it was a good tour when you feel like you’re leaving the city too soon.
