InterRail and El Camino lover who works in Education and Journalism. The best combo to explore and explain the city's secrets. Let me turn off Bucharest's gray filter so you can discover its true colors!
Bucharest’s charm lies in eclecticism, different styles and influences that blend to make it unique.
Contrasts lie at every corner, whether it's between bookstores, between churches, between palaces, between passages or between its art and its street art.
We will explore this melting pot of a city, focusing on the cultural connections that have shaped it the way it is today.
Discover a mishmash of architectural styles by visiting multicultural central areas, both on and off the beaten track. From French architects to Greek, Ottoman and Jewish heritage, we’ve got it all.
Find out how foreign perception of Vlad the Impaler created the myth of Dracula. Learn about our monarchs' blood ties with European Royalty.
And through this all, you will understand what it means to be Romanian and how we came to be a Latinized island in a sea of Balkans and Slavs.
The main experience normally lasts a bit over 2 hours and 30 mins but most days we can do an optional extra 30 mins for those who are free and interested!
Whatever culture you come from, you are always welcome on this multicultural heritage tour - as long as you book your spot, that is!

Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
