Reisroute
Uw tour begint op het Unirii-plein met een paronamisch uitzicht op Unirii Boulevard, de Roemeense "Champs-Elysees", samen met het Paleis van het Parlement, het op een na grootste administratieve gebouw ter wereld.
De route voert je langs de middeleeuwse oude binnenstad, vandaag omgetoverd tot het bruisende centrum van Boekarest. Bezoek Manuc's Inn, karavanserai en de grootste herberg van de stad.
Bezoek de Sint-Antoniuskerk, de oudste in de stad, gevolgd door een stop bij de ruïnes van het voormalige koninklijke hof, waar u de verrassende verbinding tussen Boekarest en Vlad the Impaler Dracula kunt ontdekken.
Bezoek het mooiste monument van christelijk-orthodoxe kunst in het oude centrum, het Stavropoleos-klooster.
In de 18e en 19e eeuw kun je de vele prachtige gebouwen in Franse stijl en verborgen passsageways in de straten Lipscani en Calea Victoriei bewonderen en ontdekken waarom Boekarest ooit bekend stond als Klein Parijs.
Praat met je gids over wat de communistische overheersing voor Roemenië betekende, hoe het regime van Nicolae Ceausescu instortte en hoe het land veranderde na de revolutie van 1989.
Beëindig de tour voor een van de meest iconische gebouwen in Boekarest, de Roemeense concertzaal Athenaum. Het staat als een bewijs van de verbazingwekkende ontwikkeling van Roemenië tijdens de monarchie.

This was a small tour with the guide Mara. We highly recommend Mara as she was very professional and highly knowledgeable on the history of Romania and its events. We toured all the historic and important sites and came away with a better understanding of Romania. Mara is a lovely young woman who is well versed in history and was a pleasure to talk to you!
Mara our guide knew very well the story of her country. We did an easy walk in the old town and discovered hidden jewels. She completed the information with pictures, photos and didactic elements.
My tour guide Alex was over the top amazing! He was very knowledgeable & had a great personality, Throughout the tour he kept me engaged by asking questions, not just delivering information. I would say this tour is a MUST on your list of "to dos* especially if this is your first time visiting Bucharest.
We had an excellent experience on the ‘Bucharest: Old Town Walking Tour’ with Alex. Alex is not only highly knowledgeable and passionate about Bucharest's history, culture, and politics, but also a great conversationalist who enjoys discussion and different perspectives, which made the tour especially engaging. A nice touch was that he followed up with recommendations for books and movies connected to the subjects we discussed. It's clear that he truly enjoys what he does. Thanks, Alex, for a great afternoon. Wishing you lots of curious travellers, interesting conversations and continued success! Allan and Natela
Great experience, our guide was so knowledgeable, we stopped for breaks as it was a hot day. Felt we learnt a lot about this Fascinating and once beautiful city. Would recommend the tour.
Mara is excellent guide with knowledge of Bucharest. Very interesting tour.
My tour was scheduled for the morning but due to the weather, Mara the tour guide communicated expeditiously on the option of doing the tour later in the evening. She provided excellent directions and was on time . From the start , Mara was very friendly, personable, professional and very knowledgeable. She explained the history very well and I truly enjoyed the experience. There was plenty opportunity to take photos , ask questions and she was very patient and enthusiastic. I highly recommend booking this tour with Mara Tours. I learned a lot about the old part of Romania .
Enjoyed the tour with Alex. We did an overview but he was particularly good at describing the communist period. He was friendly and flexible. Highly recommend
Christian was great, friendly, knowledgeable and well-spoken.
We looked for the meeting point for 2.5 hrs. We were supposed to meet at 5 pm & started looking in the area of our meeting point at 3 pm & never found it. We gave up at 5:30 pm. There was supposed to be a guy with a name tag & a sign, but we never saw him. I'm sure he was there, but did not find him. We asked multiple people in the area where tge place was & nobody had heard of it or knew where it was so we missed the tour completely. Seems like the meeting point should have been a more well known location.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are genuinely sorry that you were unable to join the walking tour. We would like to clarify a few details regarding the meeting arrangements. One day before the tour, we sent the meeting instructions, which included a Google Maps link to the exact location, a photo of the front of the café where we meet participants, and the direct phone number of the guide. On the day of the tour, our guide arrived at the meeting point at 4:50 PM and remained there until 5:33 PM. During that time, he attempted to call the phone number provided in the booking three times and also left two voicemail messages, but unfortunately received no response. Afterward, we contacted you to express our regret that you had missed the tour. At that time, you informed us that you did not have internet access or phone connectivity, which prevented you from receiving our messages and calls. We also offered you the opportunity to join another walking tour, but understand that this was not possible as you were leaving the city. We appreciate that finding a meeting point in an unfamiliar destination can sometimes be challenging. However, this meeting location has been used successfully by many previous guests. In cases where participants are unsure of the location, they are typically able to contact the guide using the information provided, allowing us to assist them immediately. For future travels, we would recommend ensuring that your phone has roaming service or another form of connectivity available, as this can be very helpful for receiving important updates and contacting your guide if assistance is needed. We are sorry that we were unable to welcome you on the tour and wish you all the best in your future travels.
