Stavropoleos Monastery
The jewel of Orthodox Christianity, right in the heart of the city and the epitome of late "Romanian Renaissance".
Palatul CEC
A true landmark of the city, a symbol of "Little Paris"- belle epoque of Bucharest. Note: The site cannot be visited inside.
Macca Villacrosse Passage
A cute covered arcaded street with an interesting history. You will probably fall in love with it.
A representative example of the Romanian Army power and ambitions. Why they did that? Note: The site cannot be visited inside.
A "lucky" place with a twisted history. Curious to find out? Come to my tour. Note: The site cannot be visited inside.
A symbol of the last decades for the Romanian society, where some major events happened. Very different political regimes started and ended here!

The "temple" of Romanian nation, a masterpiece of 19th century. A feast for the eyes. Note: being a walking tour, the site cannot be visited inside.

Book this tour, you'll have fun!
Adrian is the best tour guide. He made us laugh so many times which made a group strangers gel really well in a short 2hrs. He explained everything impeccably well adding humour along the storyline with his vast knowledge of Romanian history, culture and local cuisine recommendations. Highly recommend! Thanks Adrian for a fantastic tour.
Operator response
Kiki, many many thanks for this amazing review. I hope you enjoy Bucharest.

Sunday walking tour of Bucharest
Adrian was an excellent guide for this walking tour in a small group. It was good to take the tour on a Sunday morning as the streets were quiet. It was interesting to hear the church services as we walked by. Adrian was warm and witty and had some great insights about Romanian history, culture and food.
Operator response
Very nice to hear that! Best regards from Bucharest,

Wonderful tour with Adrian

Top walking tour - professional and informative
Adrian is a confident knowledgable speaker with a playful sense of humour. I particularly liked the way he gave helpful context to each point of interest. In consequence I left the tour with a greater understanding about Romania and what it is to be a Romanian.
Operator response
Wendy, thank you a lot. Means so much to me to hear such a nice review. Best wishes!

Excellent informative and fun tour
I only had a short time to spend in Bucharest and wanted to use it effectively. Adrian‘s walking tour was definitely the right decision. I learnt and saw so much in just two hours. He was funny, intelligent, knowledgeable and flexible. I would absolutely recommend taking this great value tour. If you just show up in front of the Marmorosch hotel at 10 am or 5 pm, he’s likely to be able to accommodate you even if you haven’t pre-booked. It’s definitely worth a look inside the hotel as well while you’re there!
Operator response
Kate, thank you very much indeed. I do appreciate 100 %. Best wishes from Bucharest!
