About this experience
Unhealthy Food Tour is a harmonious blend of old and new, food and beverages, history, and architecture. It starts with a snack: “The taste of communism” – Romanian Pretzel and Sana Yoghurt. After 15 minutes ride on a tram we arrive at Obor Market – one of Romania’s biggest and oldest traditional markets, which has been around for more than 300 years. Here you can find anything from cheese and meat products, spices, and handcrafted wooden bowls sold at market stalls and small shops spread over some 26,000 square meters. A well-known terrace selling “mititei” and cool beer is our next great spot for an unhealthy stop. After this authentic experience, we’ll hop in a trolleybus this time and head to another area filled with history – between University Square and Cismigiu Park. Our tour will end in a fine and traditional restaurant (Caru cu bere mostly) where we’ll have sweet Wallachian doughnuts called Papanasi, served hot, filled with jam and delicious sour cream on top.

Fabulous guide, wonderful food
We ate our fill, and then some more! Laura was one of the best tour guides we have had in years. If you ever book this tour, ask for her.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the food and had such a great experience on the tour. We’ll be sure to pass on your compliments to Laura – she will be delighted to hear them! We hope to welcome you on another TravelMaker tour soon!

Not a tour I would do again.
This did not offer value for money. We knew how much food we would be given in advance, from the online list of items. However, we thought there would be a carefully guided tour outlining things like where the food comes from, why it is regionally or culturally specific, etc. In the market we expected an outline of what comes from each region, and other interesting information. While our guide was a nice person, he was completely scattered and did not give almost any information about the food, culture, etc. When we met him, he thrust a pretzel and bottle of yogurt drink into each of our hands with no verbal description of why this is part of the tour. Then we walked to the tram and took it to the market. We walked through the market, again with no real information at all, and sat down for the meat sticks and a beer. I asked what kind of meat it was and the guide said he didn't know! Then we walked back to take the bus but the guide was unsure of the schedule so we waited a while on the side of the road. We were so hot that we asked for water (which we were supposed to get as part of the tour) so he ran to a store to buy it while we waited by the road. He bought one two-lire bottle and poured some in cups for each of us. Finally he said "Okay, let's forget the bus and catch the tram again" which was fine with us but he ran across the road, not at a crosswalk, in front of about four lanes of cars (!!) and we had to climb over the railing to get to safety. We took the tram and visited a beautiful church which was interesting to see, and then he asked if we wanted to go to one of two restaurants. We said we had been to one so he chose the other which was fine. When we arrived, he told us we should try the appetizers and we asked for water. We were thinking that the appetizers were not on the list of things included but we said yes. He shared these as well, and then we were charged by the restaurant (an expensive touristy restaurant) for both the appetizers and water!! Then he ordered the dessert (donuts) that were part of the tour and left. All in all, I would never recommend this tour. We've been on numerous other food walking tours and they all come with more food, more organization, much more verbal description of the food, culture, etc, and we've never been asked / told by a guide to order more and pay for it!! This was definitely not worth the money we paid!

Papanash Rules!
Great overview of the foods of Bucharest - including a trip to the farmers market, a ride on a tram, freshly grilled mici, and the ever popular papanash!
Response from the operator: Thank you, Linda! The Unhealthy Food Tour of Bucharest is, in fact, an introduction to what the Romanian eats every day, when he goes to the office or when he goes out with friends. We are delighted that you enjoyed your experience and we hope to see you again sometimes.

Great food, great insights, come hungry!
We had a great time exploring the city and food market with our guide Horia, learning about Bucharest (and Romania) past and present. The man is a wealth of knowledge! Come hungry and forget about your diet because the food is plentiful and tasty. Highly recommended.
Response from the operator: Hello! :) Thank you very much for leaving us a review! We have shared your kind words with our team. We're thrilled you had a great time on our tour and exploring the city. Hope to see you again soon!

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Unhealthy Food Tour of Bucharest – 4 hours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bucharest.
How much does Unhealthy Food Tour of Bucharest – 4 hours cost?
+
Prices start at $69 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bucharest usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Unhealthy Food Tour of Bucharest – 4 hours take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bucharest is not rushed.
Is Unhealthy Food Tour of Bucharest – 4 hours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bucharest, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Unhealthy Food Tour of Bucharest – 4 hours?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Unhealthy Food Tour of Bucharest – 4 hours suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Unhealthy Food Tour of Bucharest – 4 hours?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bucharest can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bucharest and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Unhealthy Food Tour of Bucharest – 4 hours start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bucharest within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bucharest?
+
On Outty we rank every Bucharest experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Real tour of Communism, Bucharest Highlights Walking Tour, Top Gear Road, Small-group max 7 pax with Pick-up, Transfăgărăşan. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bucharest?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bucharest?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
