★★★★★★★★★★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!”
