Bucharest: City Highlights Guided Private Tour
  • Pickup included

Itinerary

Admission not included60 min

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.

Admission not included45 min

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.

45 min

On Calea Victoriei (Victory Avenue) – with your private guide you will be fascinated by the contradictions of history: on one side, you have the Royal Palace and on the other, the Central Committee of the Romanian Communist Party and the Revolution Square, where Ceausescu fled the country by helicopter. You will see old orthodox churches, enveloped in an aura of mystery, a music store, where you can find a large selection of music, as well as casinos, bohemian restaurants, museums, theatres, tea shops, retail stores and gift shops, where you can purchase souvenirs, and even the National History Museum and the Romanian Athenaeum, another Romanian architectural landmark, the CEC Palace and many others.

30 min

Revolution Square, Bucharest In this private tour about the communism, you can be transported back in time to the moment where the dictator Nicolae Ceausescu was ousted, leaving behind the secrets of a great fortune and controversies about the state security service and his offshore accounts. As we mentioned earlier, when we reach the Senate Palace, you will see the building which used to house the Central Committee of the Romanian Communist Party and the place where the Revolution of December 1989 started – a major historical event whereby, through human force and sacrifice, Ceausescu was removed from power.

45 min

The highest-ranking bishops in Eastern Orthodoxy, Oriental Orthodoxy, the Catholic Church (above major archbishop and primate), the Hussite Church, and the Church of the East are termed patriarchs (and in certain cases also popes – such as the Pope of Rome or Pope of Alexandria, and catholicoi – such as Catholicos Karekin II).[1]

Admission not included15 min

The Romanian Athenaeum (Romanian: Ateneul Român) is a concert hall in the center of Bucharest, Romania, and a landmark of the Romanian capital city. Opened in 1888, the ornate, domed, circular building is the city's most prestigious concert hall and home of the "George Enescu" Philharmonic and of the George Enescu Festival.

Perfect Bucharest tour

We had a 4-hours Bucharest tour with Razvan and we really enjoyed the Village Museum, Romanian Atheneum and, of course, the Parliament Palace. Romania has a great history and it was really well presented by Razvan. Thanks!

Forget about it.

I'm writing this as I have left the city. If you like being greeted by an obnoxious tour guide that lies about your whereabouts, this is for you,. What did I learn on the tour? Bucharest does not suffer from earthquakes do to soil composition, what about 1977 which was devastating? The Orient Express has increased since reducing prices to the general public. I never thought that Euro 12,000 per person was a reasonable price. I could go on but thought I would share some thoughts. The tour was fabulous but the lack of knowledge was underwhelming

Operator response

Dear, Lore! I am sure you did not experienced the tour with us! In the last 2 month we had no Bucharest Private Tours...our team (Alex, Dan, Andrei, Nicu and Nicolas(Razvan)-me) was involve in other projects... Please check one more time the company and leave the review to the wright company because for sure is not Romania Driver and Guide! Thank you! Best Regards, Nicolas Miroiu
