Best of Bucharest (private walking tour)

Bucharest, Romania - often marketed as the "Little Paris", "the Berlin of the Orient" would do it more justice. It is an intriguing blend of oriental medieval architecture, French-style Belle Époque buildings, Soviet-style utilitarian and monumental buildings, as well as American-flavored glass&steel sky-scrappers.

We will make sense of the city together by exploring it from different perspectives. This is not your typical checklist tour: you'll often hear real-life stories, and learn about real characters that shaped the city, and which are often omitted from the official guidebooks. You will also understand why locals sometimes love to hate their city.

We will explore both mainstream sites, as well as hidden gems.
