Mobile ticket
This is a full dinner experience at hidden local places — not a tasting tour. Join Dan & Patricia for an intimate, hosted food and storytelling experience in Bucharest’s Old Town.
Explore the historic center while enjoying traditional Romanian food from carefully selected local spots, including hidden places known mostly by locals.
Along the way, Dan shares personal insights about Romanian history and everyday life, while Patricia curates an authentic food experience that reflects local traditions and flavors.
Guests often describe the experience as feeling like spending time with friends, combining conversation, culture, and delicious home-style food.
A highlight of the experience is visiting a lesser-known traditional restaurant preserved in an authentic 1980s-style atmosphere, a place most visitors would not find on their own.
The experience takes place in a small group setting for a relaxed and personal atmosphere.

5.00Our group of six turned out to be a private tour for just the two of us when four people were delayed in Lisbon. The guides were caring, passionate, and knowledgeable. We had an excellent tour on a chilly evening, including historical stops and traditional food.
The Highlight of Our Trip to Bucharest

5.00Dan and Patricia are a phenomenal tour guide team! Dan shares his extensive knowledge of Romanian history while Patricia curates an amazing dining experience. Dan and Patricia treated us to hidden places the locals go that we would have never discovered on our own. They are also world travelers who gave us great tips on other countries we plan on visiting. In short, they are wonderful, and we give them our highest recommendation!
An amazing Bucharest experience.

It is extremely informative and the personal insights Dan and Patricia were able to share with us made Bucharest history really live for us. Thank you Dan and Patricia for a wonderful experience.

5.00This tour was absolutely wonderful. We had delicious and authentic Romanian food from places only locals would know about, and the hosts took us through historical sites in Bucharest, some food-oriented and some not, and told us about their personal experiences with events in the country's recent history. Highly recommend!!
Authentic experience

5.00We enjoyed this experience as our introduction to Bucharest. Dan & Patricia shared their life experience with us as we discovered the historical development of this impressive city. The show casing of traditional dishes gave a tasty focus for the tour. Dan highlighted the mosaic of architectural heritage of Bucharest.
A great introduction to Bucharest!

5.00We had a most marvelous time with our guides Dan and his wife! Dan wove the history of Romania into the buildings and food delicacies of Old Town Bucharest. Loved it!
The best tour we had so...

5.00The best tour we had so far: the hosts made us feel like family, we explored some of the local foods but since we were already stuffed, but wanted to go and see other specific places, they were more than accommodating and really nice people, they even gave us gifts: candy from Capsa, pastries, etc. I can’t wait to spend time with them again
Perfect

5.00Great food and great information. Nicely paced and informative. More food than I could eat, also great selection.
A fantastic way to find your feet in a new city!

5.00I had a fantastic evening on this tour - Dan was armed and prepared with lots of information, pictures and stories about the history and life in Bucharest during and after Communism, and taking a look inside some of the buildings, it builds a beautiful picture. As for the food, there were lots of tasty treats! I don't want to spoil it, because even though I hadn't eaten since early morning, I was stuffed and struggling to eat any more by the end! It is an evening out with a new friend you haven't met, but knows the best places to eat!
History and local food combined. Not to be missed!

5.00Don’t look at this as just a food tour. It is a comprehensive food and historical and cultural tour. We saw so many historical buildings and learned about the history of modern Romania on this food tour. The guide and his wife made a great team to make sure that our time together went smoothly. I would strongly recommend this to anyone looking for more information About Bucharest while enjoying their local cuisine.
