Bucharest Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

We wanted to explore a destination close to Bucharest and this excursion did not disappoint. Wow! The Salt Mines are amazing and not to be missed! Our guide, Andreea, was wonderful and was a wealth of information! She was so personable and even loaned us Romanian money so we could taste a delicious Romanian treat. And then she helped us find an ATM! We appreciated her knowledge of Romanian history and found the tomb and history of Daracula-Vlad the Impaler very interesting! It was a fun day!

Very nice experience with fabulous guides!

Very interesting day trip to both the biggest salt mine in Europe and the presumed tomb of Vlad the impaler himself- a fun & comfortable journey with a lunch break and plenty of opportunities to hydrate (or get coffee!)I’d highly recommend to anyone interested!

Had a great time visiting Peleş castle, Braşov and Bran castle, it was a very long day at over 13 hrs but our guide Danny was great and kept us informed and entertained, our driver was amazing too driving us back through thunder and lightning storms back to Bucharest. Would recommend this trip.

A really good tour. The castles are great and Braşov is a lovely town. The only downside is the length of time. We were 14 hours in total, which considering you get about 4.5 hours out of the bus in total, that's a lot of sitting in the bus. It can't be helped though, that's just the way it is. Our tour guide Danny was really good, informative and funny.

Pretty crowded and not much instructions as to how to navigate the locker rooms but it was so much fun and enjoyable that it still gets 5 stars for me.

The night out was extremely fun and well organised. Tania, the guide, was so friendly and kept the amsphere going. She made everyone feel included with such a lovely energy, perfect for a pub crawl where you meet new people! She made my night! Lovely experience overall, would definitely recommend!

Lovely day out - food was better than expected. Local assistance was useful for a few questions we had before hand. The spa itself has lots to do - we had the access all areas all day ticket and were there for around 8 hours and were never bored.

This was far more than just an informative tour; it was a truly premium cultural experience that will stay with us for a very long time. If you want to discover the Athenaeum in its finest form, look for a tour guided by Iana. Simply exceptional!

Very nice and knowledgeable guide. We were able to see every place that we wanted to see. We had a private tour.

The Romanian Athenaeum was unforgettable, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Iana. From the moment the tour began, her enthusiasm, knowledge, and storytelling made the experience truly special. Iana’s tour should be on every tourist's must-see list when visiting Bucharest!

George and Laura very very prompt, professional and knowledgeable!!They were a pleasure to work with!!

Toni offered us a focused tour on Jewish memory and celebration. He was very flexible to our particular questions and focus. He is also amenable to conditions and will shape the tour for differing abilities and particular interests. You might overlook this tour but you can’t go wrong finding Toni as your guide. Sign up for his tours!

This was an excellent tour, made even more so by our very knowledgeable guide Roxana, she really made this a tour to remember

Our guide Iana was charming, informative about Romanian art. The tour lasted two hours and we were given time to walk round and view the artwork, about which Iana was very keen to garner our opinion. A splendid visit.

If you are interested in history and culture this tour is great for you. Toni answered all of our questions and even picked us up from our hoter even if it wasn't on the pick up list.
