This food tour was the highlight of our Bucharest trip. Daniel, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable about the neighborhoods we walked through and the foods he introduced us to. He was interesting and personable. I would recommend this tour as a great introduction to Bucharest that gets you out of the touristy areas.

Alex, our tour guide, was Excellent - very knowledgable and friendly. I Would give him 5 stars for sure. It didn't seem like he had much to work with though. The tour itself was OK, but nothing terrific. There was a lot of walking involved and some good historic info, but not much focus on the food lover part. We went to two places and tried traditional sausages and then basically a charcuterie board at the second, with a couple local beers and a shot of Rakia. It was good but wasn't really much of an exploration of local food all in all. The market stop was pretty meh. Again, Alex was outstanding, so I'd recommend it for him but just don't expect too much.
