What sets my walking tour of Bucharest apart is the depth of knowledge and expertise I bring to the experience. As a history degree holder, researcher, and UNESCO cultural project developer, I have dedicated most of my life to the study and preservation of Romanian heritage. Unlike other tour guides who rely on readily available sources, I bring to the table thousands of hours – literally most of my adult life - spent poring over rare books and archives to understand history better. This enables me at this point to paint you one of the most elaborate and detailed images of Bucharest’s evolution that you could hope to get outside of an academic seminar. If other similar experiences usually describe WHAT you see when walking through a new city, my goal is to answer your WHYS and HOWS and help you understand why do you see what you see.

The half-day private city tour itinerary includes the most interesting sightseeing of Bucharest such as the Palace of Parliament (Ceausescu's Palace), open-air Village museum, the vibrant Old Town area and many more.

As being a private tour, we guarantee flexibility and personalized service.
