Bucharest · LIPSCANI & OLD TOWN WALKS
22 reviewed
Lipscani is six streets, forty bars and a lot of history hiding behind the terraces: the Princely Court, Manuc’s Inn, the Stavropoleos church, the passages nobody finds alone. These walks and crawls are the ones worth booking, with prices, group sizes and what is included in the glass.

“I really enjoyed our day trip. On Tuesdays the company often combines the English and non English tours as there aren’t as many people due to Peles Castle being closed (you still see the gardens though). Our tour guide Gabriel was really helpful and managed the group well. He wasn’t forceful in making people buy the castle tickets with him and treated everyone equally. We got back to Bucharest in a timely manner (arriving 7:30pm).”

“My friend and I had a brief 2 days in Bucharest so we booked a four hour tour. We were promptly picked up by Ionela and off we went. Her knowledge of history, nature and anything Romanian made the tour very interesting and fun. Her natural connection with people made for an easy afternoon spent in her company. Ionela went above and beyond accommodating us by dropping us off at a different location. I will recommend Ionela to friends as a fantastic tour guide! Cheers to you for employing one of the best!”

“Sono un italo-romeno che ha deciso di viaggiare con la propria ragazza per mostrarle i bei posti della Romania. Il biglietto include solo ed esclusivamente il viaggio ed ogni tanto una lontana comparsa della guida, fatta eccezione per coloro che acquistavano direttamente da lui i biglietti per i castelli (chi li aveva già presi in altro modo, veniva, anche con tono scortese ed infastidito, invitato ad allontanarsi immediatamente dal gruppo diverse volte, anche se la strada da percorrere era la stessa e non era quindi possibile prima di arrivare ai castelli). Rendo noto che, acquistando i biglietti dalla guida, il castello di Peles verrà visitato solo per metà, escludendo il…”

“Had the best walking tour ever with Mihaela yesterday. She is very knowledgeable and passionate and I loved that and how she explained her stories. She used slides and went above and beyond as a tour guide. I feel I have learnt so much thanks to Michaela and I am very grateful to her for the tour, her stories, educating me and all she showed me. I loved her amazing energy that made this tour fun. I would happily book more tours with Mihaela.”

“This tour was absolutely wonderful. We had delicious and authentic Romanian food from places only locals would know about, and the hosts took us through historical sites in Bucharest, some food-oriented and some not, and told us about their personal experiences with events in the country's recent history. Highly recommend!!”

“We spent two days traveling with Adrian. We did a walking and riving tour and we very much appreciated his knowledge and enthusiasm. He is extremely punctual, thoughtful and extremely well organized. We also did a second day tour to Transylvania. Both days were memorable and made us plan to return this year to Romania to finish our exploration with him of other parts of the country. We have no comments about what to improve on the tour and we plan to book again with Adrian soon!”
