What To Expect
Palace of Parliament
In Bucharest City Tour at the Palace of Parliament or People’s House – you will learn how dangerous and damaging a totalitarian regime like communism can be for a nation. You will feel small seeing what pointless opulence and megalomania “the sleep of reason” can create. Imagine you have the chance to see the second largest administrative building on the planet, after the Pentagon, and that it will be an experience you will be able to share with your grandchildren.
In Bucharest City Tour you will visit The National Village Museum – in one place, you will see an embodiment of Romanian traditions and you will learn what it meant for Romanian villagers to have built an ecological and sustainable environment in their backyard. You will also get a glimpse of their simple and modest lifestyle, in social and spiritual harmony with their surroundings. Book a private guide in Bucharest and you will enter the universe of the traditional Romanian houses, large or small, made of wood and adobe, but also stone and other materials, from all areas of the country. You will also see national symbols such as the mill or the wooden church and you will learn how these treasures of spirituality and civilization have kept us united for thousands of years, without needing to invade other nations.

Visit with knowledge of the communist historical context

5.00Our guide had extensive knowledge of the communist history of the country and together with his careful attention to us, he made us the best tour we have ever had. Providing us with extra information on what to do on other days, what to visit and what not to miss in the city. It is really nice to have a guide who has such extensive knowledge of many topics, who can talk to and go a little bit beyond the empty conversation. It gives you a context not only of the experience you are enjoying but of the country and its customs. Highly recommended!

5.00We had such a wonderful experience with booking the tour with Răzvan, he is very professional, flexible and SO knowledgeable. We came to Bucharest with a group of friends and booked an 8h tour so that we can see most of the main attractions. Răzvan came and picked us up from the hotel, he was very friendly and thoughtful. During the day, as we had been undecided about entry to certain attractions, he ensured he used his useful contacts to get us tickets, he was very accomodating with our needs (i.e. driving back to the hotel to get our passports so we can get into the House of Parliament). We cannot recommend him enough, overall we had a wonderful day with him, he is not only a tour guide but very passionate about history which really shines through and makes him one of a kind, if not the best tour you can get in Bucharest, all at a reasonable price! We look forward to returning soon for a more extended tour of the country, not just Bucharest! Thank you so much Răzvan, it was delight spending the day with you and learning all about Bucharest's history!

5.00this entire tour was a favorite part. the best tour guide i have ever had. nicolas knows absolutely everything about bucharest. nice new van, very clean and air-conditioned. the seats were comfortable and the windows large enough for great photos. he showed me 6 different views of the palace of parliament and also the towers to help protect the palace. saw a very wide avenue with flowers and fountains. went into some of the old town that i would have missed. i enjoyed this a lot. best of all nicolas took me to the snagov monastery which is on an island. very well kept up and great paintings. a must see if you come to bucharest. nicolas made this the best part of my trip. i would tour with him again.
