“Emma was such a great hostess with lots of interesting conversation along the way. If you’re wondering I would say skip lunch or breakfast before the tour, you’ll have plenty to eat. Vegetarian accommodations were easily made.”
Wine tasting in Bucharest at Abel’s Wine Bar, sampling five Romanian wines with a cheese-and-meat platter and Old Town atmosphere.

A private 4-hour Bucharest walk that pairs Revolution Square and Lipscani with a 3-course Romanian meal, plus wine or beer.
“The Sites and Bites tour proved to be the perfect introduction to Bucharest. Hosted by our lovely tour guide, Emma, this four-hour leisurely walking tour took us around the historic streets of this lovely city. My wife and I were the only participants, which made the walk even more special and bespoke. Meeting at the statue of King Carol I adjacent to Revolution Square, the tour started with an overview of the history of Romania and then, more specifically, Bucharest. People, places and events were recounted by Emma in flawless English, as we weaved in and out of the back streets heading towards the old town. After a few hours…”

Taste Bucharest craft beer, street pastry, and Communist-era stories on a small-group night tour through top squares and side streets.
“I can’t say enough great things about this tour. We happened to be the only two on the tour with our guide Alex, and we had a fantastic time. Alex was friendly, knowledgeable and just genuinely fun to hang out with. The tour allowed us to see three great breweries that we probably would not have found on our own, with GREAT beer selections! Alex did a great job walking us through areas, pointing out places and connecting them with historical significance. He also did a great job at incorporating other knowledge about Romanian culture and provided recommendations for the rest of our stay. I highly recommend this tour for…”
Private Bucharest wine tasting at Abel’s Wine Bar: 5 Romanian wines with cheese and meat, guided in English for $64.
“Darrio was very knowledgeable about all the wine that we had. He was super friendly and definitely up to talk more about details and wine themselves. The cheese and meat platter was way bigger than we expected. We had an amazing time! Definitely recommend if you’re a wine fanatic ❤️”
Private Bucharest history and food tour with a Revolution-era walk, Old Town influences, and a traditional three-course meal with local drink.
“The guide was very knowledgeable and her information was extensive. She was a able to explain the contemporary architecture and city features to the historical foundations of the Bucharest and Romania holistically. We saw the sights and ate traditional Romanian food, which only enhanced our Romanian experience both historically and culinarily.”
Bucharest wine day trip to LacertA and Budureasca: two tastings of 10+ wines, snacks, hill views, and an English sommelier.
“the guide did not manage time between vineyards well, actual wine tasting was shorter than the sommelier history on the vineyard. Because of this poor management lunch was skipped and the guide had a verbal disagreement with the second vineyard sommelier, yet the second vineyard had better time management between the history and the wine tasting”
Private Bucharest tour with Dimitrie Gusti Village Museum, a handmade craft stop, and a Dealu Mare wine tasting with cheese & charcuterie.
“Michael was amazing with his knowledge of the area and was great with our group. He customized our visit to help our gentle walkers see as much as possible”
A cozy 2-hour Bucharest wine and food pairing with 5 Romanian wines and a traditional platter, taught in English or Romanian.
“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…”
