Overview

I invite you to this excellent food & culture tour, perfect for those seeking to experience the local culture through traditional and typical food, and venture off the beaten path to discover real and authentic Bucharest.

Step into the bustle of Bucharest’s largest farmers market, chance to immerse into the local colors, flavors and people. Explore the diverse faces of Bucharest, from typical Communist era working class district to the crumbling beauty of quaint 19th century neighborhoods. 

We will end up the tour with a stroll around the pedestrian Old Town, followed by lunch to a fine Romanian restaurant where you have the chance to try Romanian food at its best. When in Romania, you must try traditional Romanian foods such as ‘ciorba’ (a plentiful soured soup), the famous ‘sarmale’ (cabbage rolls stuffed with minced pork meat) and other local specialties.
