The centre is flat, compact and full of things that need explaining. Below are the walking tours that do the explaining well, from Calea Victoriei architecture to ghost stories after dark, with prices, distances and how long each one keeps you on your feet.

“It was a great tour and guide to the history of Romania. I loved my guide, Michaela. She was fantastic and I was lucky to be the only one on the tour!!! She also helped me with suggestions for the rest of my time here. My only complaint, is that I’m not sure why it was so much more expensive than the other walking tour of Budapest that is offered. It was quite expensive compared to the other. Thank you so much and I LOVED Michaela!!”

“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!”
