5.00We had a great experience as a group of guys on a stag party. We could really see the passion of Serban and his colleague in the way they explained the history of Bucharest, spoke about the beautiful vintage cars, and showed how well the cars are maintained. The tour is a fantastic way to learn about the city’s history and get a real sense of the atmosphere during the communist era. The tour is definitely recommended — an alternative and beautiful way to discover Bucharest!

5.00Great trip with amazing guide/driver, personalised since it is max 2-3 participants. Lots of knowledge about the city and history including the royal and dictators. Also a big applause to Red Patrol that fixed an additional trip with Mihai on a sold out day. 👏👏👏

5.00We had a wonderful tour around Bucharest in a classic red Dacia. Our guide, Serban, provided a comprehensive and engaging overview of Romania’s history over the past 120 years, making the experience both informative and enjoyable. The Dacia itself was a true vintage gem—beautifully maintained and full of character—which added a special charm to the tour. Overall, it was a unique and memorable way to explore the city, and we would highly recommend it.
Best experience!!!

5.00We did this tour with Serban, a very professional tour guide with extremely high level of knowledge. Although we did a private city sightseeing tour in Bukarest three days before, this was perfect addition. Because city tours are historical aspects, and the oldtimer tour with Serban was tour with social aspects. My husband enjoyed the car very much, too. Especially the old cars from communist period help to bring across this period of history perfectly. We enjoyed that day very much! Thank you Serban for that perfect day!

5.00We had lovely experience. We were group of 18 people from all around the EUROPE. Great way to experience Bucharest and learn about the history, meanwhile visiting "Best Spots" in the city. Drivers were very professional with good English, trying to accommodate individual & groups wishes. Unique group experience, easy logistic & right timing :)

5.00We had an amazing time exploring Bucharest with The Red Patrol! Driving through the city in the iconic Dacia cars was such a fun and original experience. The vintage Dacias were absolutely stunning — perfectly preserved and in amazing condition. It was a real thrill to try them out and drive them ourselves! Serban was a fantastic guide — passionate, knowledgeable, and full of great stories that brought the city to life in an unexpected way. It felt like a journey through time, but with a playful twist. Highly recommended for anyone looking for something different and memorable!
Great interactive tour

5.00A friend who lives in Bucharest recommended this tour to us. Bucharest is an interesting city, and it really helps to have someone explain it. The tour was fantastic! The car was fun, the stops were well chosen, and the guide knew so much. I feel like I understand Romania’s history and the communist period much better now. We also saw some really interesting neighborhoods and architecture. Our guide never rushed us, answered all our questions, and was very helpful.

5.00A special experience to be driven in a 70s Dacia around the major sites of Bucarest with Serban’s expert and engaging telling of the recent history of Romania, with the focus on the Communist era. We learnt so many things. The Dacia was a warm refuge on a chilly morning, and we really appreciated the photos and being dropped off near Ceru cu bere. Thank you!
