Best experience with Tuk Tuk 🛺 - If you want to surprise someone, or even yourself, I can confidently recommend going on a Bucharest tour with TukTuk, as they are true professionals at this sort of thing! Even though my fiancée and I were born and raised in Bucharest, during our trip with TukTuk, we felt as if we were tourists in our own city!
Alin, the driver, will tell you many fun facts about the history of Bucharest, and thanks to him, you will also visit some of the city's most iconic landmarks.
Thank you, Alin and Simona! ☺️☺️

The most fun and enjoyable tour! - Me and my partner booked the two hour tour with Alin and we had such a fun and amazing time! The best sightseeing city tour we have ever done! Alin is super nice and friendly and it was like the tour was with a friend and not a tour guide. Firstly its easy to organise as you pin your location and Alin comes to where you are to pick you up. Then you fly around Bucharest in the Tuktuk stopping at various points and having lots of fun along the way. All the information is interesting and we definitely came out with even more love for Bucharest.
Thank you again Alin

Amazing experience that will reveal you Bucharest through new eyes - It is a unique and amazing experience that will reveal you Bucharest through new eyes; I felt like a tourist for the first time . What was amazing about it ? Starting with the driver who is a nice guy whom you can talk to and explains to you about buildings , but the best thing is that you feel you are in a vacation in witch you are no longer in a busy city, also you no longer feel pressed for time.

A must do in Bucharest if you want to discover the city in a special way! - Amazing experience in Bucharest! I was impressed by Alin - who picked me up from our hotel. We had quite a laugh while discovering some of the most interesting spots in this city. He has a story for each place! Definitely would recommend the experience! PS - one hour is not enough, would suggest 2 to 3, depending on your time.
