1.Taste Bucharest: A Food Lover’s Tour of Markets & Neighbourhoods

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 689 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $102Our pick

Taste Bucharest through local markets, Romanian dishes, tuica, craft beer, neighborhoods, and a short tram ride to Obor Market.

“To be honest I was disappointed in the food portion of the tour, the history part was good but a bit long. I was expecting more traditional Romanian hot foods such as cabbage rolls or even soup which it wasn’t served. We did have the sausage which was delicious. Then more cold cuts like cheese, some dips and veggies. So it didn’t really exceed my expectations. I have been on 8 food tours and this was probably the least favorite. Our guide was amazing tho!”

Our guide Calin took great care in selecting each restaurant, ensuring we had an authentic taste of the local cuisine. Each stop felt thoughtfully chosen, showcasing food that locals genuinely enjoy. Calin was incredibly gracious and made us feel welcome throughout the tour. The pacing was perfect—just the right amount of walking between tastings, allowing us to enjoy each dish without feeling rushed. While the focus was definitely on the food, he also shared interesting bits of history that enriched the experience. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore Odea’s food…”

“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…”

“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”
