Bucharest's Greatest Tour
We are While in Bucharest, a group of certified tourism guides living in Bucharest, with a deep love for our beautiful city and its stories. We like sharing these stories, and we like to see how happy people are, when they discover this beautiful, complicated and interesting city.
Pickup
In front of Saint Anton's Church and the Old Palace of Dracula (Palatul Voievodal Curtea Veche), in the Old Town of Bucharest. I will have a big visible logo saying `While in Bucharest Walking Tours`. Also, a big hat, the church behind me, and some ruins to my left side.
Description
Although this is a general tour, and you`ll see the same old beautiful buildings that everyone else are showing in guided tours, we try to make things differently. We do not focus on years, people, architects, styles... because we know that, by the end of the tour, most travelers won`t remember those. We try to tell you the story of Bucharest.
How the city appeared when Dracula made a palace here. How oriental it looked, with its Greek and Turkish influences. How the old town became a merchant`s place, and how the old inns and and monasteries were replaced by the beautiful French architecture of the late 1800s and first half of the 1900s. How the communists wanted to destroy the old beautiful buildings of the past. This is what you`ll remember, the general lines in which this city developed and got to be as it is today.
Our guides put a lot of effort into making this tour as great as it is. The recommended tip for their effort is 20 euros/person.
The tour starts at 10.00, from Monday to Friday.
