Cycle Bucharest’s Communist past to the huge Palace of Parliament, then cruise Little Paris boulevards in 4 hours with a guide.

“Fantastic city tour by the amazing young guide, Dan. Dan’s English, and his passion for history and this beautiful City and its turbulent past, was awesome! Dan kept us in the shade on this warm day as much as possible. He answered many questions and shared fascinating photos and information, including traditional music, with us via Whattsapp. The four hours flew by too quickly and I cannot think of a better way to see and learn about this lovely City in this timeframe. Highly recommend this tour!”

Ride a bike rental in flat Bucharest for a full day, reach major sights, and choose an electric bike or scooter from a convenient central pickup.

The price for the rental was reasonable and I was able to use it all day long (I returned it at 7 and could’ve stayed later). My non-electric road bike held up great with no mechanical issues/flat tires.”
