Amazing walking tour. Great food. Good group. - Great experience! The 5.5 hours flew by. Our guide was amazing and very fun to talk with. She had great knowledge on history and culture and of course food. We had high expectations for Urban Adventures as all their tours are fantastic - this was no exception. The food was really great and we felt we saw a side of Bucharest off the tourist path.

Good insight to Bucharest for the first time visitor - Good insight to Bucharest. The guide was very knowledgeable and good natured. Had to walk about an hour through the neighbourhood before we got the first food samplings. With the various food stops there was plenty to eat and drink. Very enjoyable.

Informative tour with good food & drink. - Guide Alex was informative and nothing was too much. Good way to see parts of city may not have seen otherwise and try local food with a pint or 2 of local beer. Our tour had people from 3 different countries and 2 sit down meals allowed time to get to know everyone and have a great laugh along the way.
