Tour description

During this experience, we will be exploring Bucharest, its history, and some of its most popular street food places.

Join us on a unique walking tour that blends the flavors of traditional Romanian street food with the rich history and culture of Bucharest. From beloved local neighborhoods to iconic landmarks, this experience offers the best of both worlds: tasting authentic snacks while uncovering the fascinating stories behind the city’s history, architecture, customs, and daily life.

We’ll start in a neighborhood locals love, where daily life unfolds in family-run bakeries, cafés, and cherished places that have shaped local routines and memories for generations. You’ll try a variety of local favorites: Romanian snacks, traditional pies, artisan chocolate, coffee, and cakes from one of the city’s oldest sweet shops.

As we walk, we’ll dive into the history of Bucharest and Romania and explore the city’s most important landmarks and architectural highlights, uncovering what makes Bucharest so unique. Along the way, you’ll also gain insight into daily life, local customs, and how the past continues to shape the city today.

Your hosts are Andrei, a local foodie and guide with a deep love for his city, and Andreea, a historian and guide with a background in Bucharest’s history and architecture. Together, they’ll offer you a relaxed, insightful, and delicious introduction to the heart of Bucharest.

Important notes:
- The cost of food and drinks sampled during the tour is approximately 15 EUR (75 RON) per person, and is not included.
- While most places accept card payments, we recommend having some local cash on hand.
- If you are vegan, please note that, considering the nature of the Romanian cuisine, your tasting options will be limited.
- Tour duration varies but typically is around 3 hours, but it depends on the group size and how busy that day is
