Mara was a fabulous guide. Extremely knowledgeable and able tp answer all my questions as we were walking around. Mara even was able to give me a book recommendation regarding historic al fiction during the communist period, which lived up to its expectations! I highly recommend booking this tour.

Elena was an amazing guide. She was very knowledgeable and what was lovely is she was bubbly which made the experience even more enjoyable. I was running slightly late but she was kind enough to wait for me. We saw all the sites in Bucharest, along with discussing their history. Highly recommend her, thank you :)

Full description

Discover the most historic areas of central Bucharest on a guided walking tour. Visit all of the city's best-known sights and some hidden ones off the usual tourist track!

Your tour starts at Unirii Square for a view of the colossal Palace of the Parliament, the second-largest building in the world. From here, visit St. Anthony's Church, the oldest in the city, followed by the ruins of the former Royal Court. The route will take you past the medieval Old Town, today transformed into Bucharest's bustling downtown.

Jumping forward to the 18th and 19th centuries, admire the beautiful French-style buildings on Calea Victoriei Street and discover why Bucharest was once known as Little Paris.

The tour ends in the Revolution Square, where you'll have the chance to talk to your guide about what Communist rule meant for Romania and Bucharest and how the country changed after the 1989 revolution.
