Additional Information

Local Hosts morph foreigners into locals and locals into sightseers.

We understand the importance of taking breaks for snacks and refreshments during a tour! As such, we incorporate them into all our tours. Engage in a unique experience with us in intimate groups and unexplored scenic views.

This is an exclusive approach to uncover a seemingly lost narrative that has pushed the limits of survival and influenced numerous generations of Romanians.

An enlivening, full-sensory trip down memory lane that reveals both the admirable and ignoble side of the city and its inhabitants, granting you the freedom to assess societal progress and decline for yourselves.

Topping it all off, we’ve added a ride through Bucharest’s equivalent of the Bronx, where you’ll see the communist-era housing blocks that have shaped (and continue to shape) the social history of Romania over the last five decades. From this nadir, we’ll journey to Primaverii Ave (Bucharest’s Bel-Air) where you’ll see the real interpretation of the slogan ‘we are all equal’
