“We were the only two on the tour and Emma our guide was amazing. We spent 4 hours eating our way through beautiful Bucharest. Come hungry because you eat and drink a lot. All while learning about Romania's history and culture. And more interesting to us was our ability to ask our guide all kinds of questions that really personalized the experience. We felt like family by the end of the day. This tour is worth every penny and even tho you may find something cheaper, this is the one you want to do. Do not hesitate to book this now or it may likely be sold out when you…”

3.Wine Tasting in Bucharest

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 183 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $59Best value

Taste five premium Romanian wines in Bucharest’s Old Town, with local grape stories, generous food pairings, and bottles to take home.

“I was given a warm welcome, then poured a lovely selection of Romanian wines from native grape varieties. It was a great introduction to varieties and regions I previously knew nothing about, but will certainly be looking for in the future! The tasting was two hours, although I'm sure I could have stayed for longer if I had wanted. I was encouraged to take my time trying the generous servings along with a nice selection of cheeses and meats. This is well worth booking if, like me, you love wine but are not familiar with Romanian wines.”

“Constantin was my guide, and he also had a new lady, Andra, with him who would be starting the job soon. I was the only person on this tour, so I could ask all the questions I wanted! They were both so knowledgeable about the history of their city and country. The restaurant was great, maybe a bit too much food! Make sure you are hungry. Lots of walking, but since it was like a private tour, the pace was perfect for me. It was just what I wanted. I took this tour in July 2018.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 23 reviews · 2 hours · from $62

Taste five Romanian wines with cheeses, salami, zacuscă, and local bread in Bucharest’s Old Town during this cozy two-hour pairing.

“I paid for the wine and food pairing but only received some cubes of cheese with crackers and no other food to pair with the wines. I didn't receive anything with the first wine so asked the sommelier about the pairings and he said he would bring the snacks later so they would last for all of the wines. As he brought the second wine he brought the cheese and crackers. That was the only food I received, not what was advertised when I booked it. I believe I got the experience that I would have received if I'd just booked the wine tasting rather than the food pairing experience…”
