Palace of Parliament
15 min
By far the most imposing and well-known tourist attraction in Bucharest is the Palace of the Parliament or as Nicolae Ceausescu called it, the People's Palace. Located high on Arsenal Hill, the current Palace of the Parliament is certified as the second administrative building in the world after the Pentagon. The building described in numbers and statistics is astonishing: 270 meters long, 245 meters wide, 86 meters high, 92 meters deep (below ground level), 1,000,000 cubic meters of Ruschita marble, 700 architects, and the numbers don't stop there. !
Visiting is only possible with a reservation made 24-48 hours in advance, and the visitor is required to have an identity card or passport on him (not a driver's license or insurance card). The standard tour lasts approximately 1 hour.

It is one of the largest intersections in Bucharest, which takes its name from the old and famous Victoriei road, which intersects Piata Victorei. The Victoria Palace - currently the seat of the Romanian Government - is the key institution of this place, seconded by the Grigore Antipa National Museum of Natural History, in the opposite direction.
Triumph Arch (Arcul de Triumf)
15 min
We will see these attractions only from the outside, and the guide will tell you interesting stories about these places a mark of Romanian history
The Arc de Triomphe in Bucharest is one more reason why Bucharest is called Little Paris. Despite the fact that it went through different stages of construction and reconstruction to reach its current form only in 1936, the Arc de Triomphe in Bucharest is more than a monument, it is proof of the heroism of the Romanians in the First World War.

I was anticipating a fairly good overview of sites and info around the city but found it pretty basic. The guide was punctual picking me up from the hotel in a nice clean car & supplied a bottle of water.
I found a lot of the tour info fairly stilted, lots of it he read out loud from google on his phone... We made a couple of stops, viewed a church and a park, drove around some residential areas and the main public buildings (parliament etc). Busy traffic, it was a reasonable outing in a sit down setting but not one I would personally repeat. If you want a low key basic drive around the city and rest your feet this would be fine.

Bucuresti Tour (Victor)
My tour was led by Victor, who was very enthusiastic and charming during the whole experience. He gave me a (solo) private tour via car, but also with some walking for certain sites along Victorei road (ie Athenaeum, Senate building, Revolution Square) and again at the Parliament building (People's House) along other walkable sites. Overall, his animated and personable approach to leading the tour brings Bucuresti to life in a memorable way. This was one of the last things I did on the evening before leaving the city and am so glad I did. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Daniel is a lovely guide, 10/10.
We are a family of 12 adults and we traveled with Daniel to Sinaia. Daniel is a lovely man who received us from the hotel with butter cookies that his wife had made especially for Christmas. He was calm the whole way, made sure we had breakfast, smiled the whole way, treated the elderly and children well ،Especially shouted at the old grandfather .
It was a very enjoyable experience. I highly recommend going on a trip with him.Daniel is a lovely guide, 10/10.

VIictor is the best!
I would give him 20 stars if I could! I had an amazing tour. I saw so many beautiful sites and have great pictures. Victor is a wonderful person and I'm thankful I had him as my guide. He also has a wonderful family and I know this because I left my sunglasses in his car and he dropped them off the next day with his lovely family. Highly recommend this tour and ask for Victor, he will give you a amazing tour!

Ask for Victor Cobzaru
If you want to make Bucharest come alive you must do it with Victor Cobzaru.
He not only has a thorough knowledge of the history of Romania and its culture but also of the wines from Moldavia, good beers to taste and especially classical music - his daughter Anna-Maria being one of the new bright stars of Romanian violinists
He has lived through it all, experienced it first hand and is able to take you on a personal journey through Bucharest and Romania. Be sure to ask for Victor Cobzaru
