Half Day Bucharest Sightseeing Tour

Excellent city tour

We had a very good driver/guide (Serban). He was excellent, explained about the city very well, good knowledge, very friendly and polite. The tour was organised very well. He was helpful through out the tour. We would definitely recommend Tripadvisor and Serban's company to any of our friends who plan to visit Bucharest. He was punctual for pick up.

Bucharest Highlights

Our guide Matthew was knowledgeable about the city but didn’t share much information while driving between the three main stops. Traffic was very congested but we arrived at the Parliament building with time to spare.

Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear that Matthew was knowledgeable about the city. We will work on improving the amount of information shared during transfers. Traffic congestion can sometimes be challenging in Bucharest, but we’re happy the schedule allowed sufficient time at the Parliament building.

Great Half Day in Bucharest with Laura

We had a great half day tour of Bucharest with Laura. We were a party of six - my wife and I (Americans) and two other couples from Scotland. We started with the Palace of Parliament and got some great shots of the exterior of this huge building. Laura then provided us tickets for the tour of the building, which was an approximate one hour tour conducted by one of the regular guides at the Palace. We were not disappointed , even though we were informed by the guide that over the course of an hour we had seen less than 10% of the building! Very impressive architecture. We then mixed things up from the scheduled tour, which would have taken us to the Village Museum. Laura asked us if we would rather see the Patriarchal Cathedral and the Patriarchal Palace. We all readily agreed and this decision turned out to be a good one. It was a very pleasant walk up to the cathedral, which itself was a very interesting visit. We then stopped at Revolution Square, followed by a stop at the Arch of Triumph. All in all a great half day tour. Upon hearing that we wanted to visit the Roman Atteneul the next day, Laura took it upon herself to call them and find out what hours they were open to the public for general admission. We would very much recommend this tour, particularly with Laura as your guide.

Half day Bucharest

Trip was OK A bit disappointed as we couldn't visit the People Palace so went to Summer Palace instead which was interesting. The tour guide was OK but a bit loud

Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear you found the Summer Palace interesting, though we understand your disappointment about not being able to visit the Parliament Palace. As noted in our marketing materials and tour description, visits to the Parliament Palace are subject to their availability, which is unfortunately beyond our control. We do everything we can to secure access, and we, too, wish we could guarantee this experience for all our guests. However, when it’s not possible, we make sure to provide an alternative that still adds unique value to the tour. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the guide's volume, and we'll share this with our team to ensure everyone has the best possible experience. Thank you for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back in the future for an even more memorable tour!

An informative 5(+) hour tour. Well worth the cost.

Narcis was an overall great tour guide. He apologized for being one minute late. He was very knowledgeable about many areas and the history of Bucharest and offered many useful options to consider outside of the tour (viewing the 41 fountains at night on a weekend (for a show like the Bellagio fountain in Las Vegas) and sampling Romanian wine). The tour was scheduled for 5 hours, he was very accommodating to our small group of three and did not attempt to rush us through any of the sites. He even added a stop to the Anthenel…it was gorgeous inside and worth the additional stop (and cost 10 Lei). We spent nearly 6 hours touring. Narcis was very engaging and communicative so it did not feel like 6 hours. The tour transports was via a person, privately owned car. It was one guide to three clients/guests. This 5 hour tour was a perfect introduction to Bucharest. I only wish I could have scheduled it for my first day.
