Local Hosts turns tourists into locals and locals into tourists.
We know that during a tour it's best to stop for refreshments and quick bites! Thus, we've included them in all our tours. Join us for a different experience in small groups and off-the-beaten-path views.
For a back-to-basics tour, we give you an overview of our recent past and our older much more glorious history. Starting from the University Square - probably the most popular meeting point in the city, we then move along Calea Victoriei where aristocrats, merchants, communist officials, and then new capitalists shouldered each other, in their respective eras, to get a place in the city’s oldest route. We then hop in the Old Town, through a secret passage, to see tiny and gorgeous medieval churches as well as the latest boho-bougie architectural statements. You’ll also get a glimpse into the many controversies behind the House of the People. We’ll end the tour at a grand traditional inn with beer and local bites.

This a very interesting tour. Our guide Mircea took us to the Romanian TV station which broadcasted already in the communist time. They were live on air 24hrs during the revolution in 1989, for several days, with little live breaks only to recover some machines that ran hot. Historical place.
Cool tour, cool guide. Highly, recommended!

The guide, Mircea, really went above and beyond to make sure I had a great afternoon in Bucharest. He was very knowledgeable and gave me an excellent insight into life in Bucharest. He even made sure I got to my hotel safely at the end of the afternoon, as well as send me a follow up email with YouTube clips of things we had discussed. He really did a great job and I look forward to his tours when I, hopefully, return to Romania.

I was in Bucharest on business and only had a little bit of time to visit. I picked the right tour! This was the perfect balance of sightseeing, history, culture and architecture. I had so much fun with Mircea. I could have listened to his stories the whole day! It also helped that immediately upon meeting, he gave me a really yummy local snack. This is tour perfection! Thank you Mircea!
