Super Walking Food Tour - Walking tour round parts of Bucharest including Orbor Market Lots of beer cheese mica beer bread dips and a beer and a doughnut to finish. Feel a little more sign posting about what the overall plan was but tram ride was interesting and enough background information on how the communism regime failed I would recommend the tour although a lot of walking.

Highly recommended! - It was a lot of fun! Our tour guide knew a great deal about the city and its history. The tour lasted until around 3:00 pm, but it was so enjoyable that our group decided to continue hanging out together afterwards.

A nice food tasting tour - This was a small group walking tour, apart from a short ride on a tram. It included a look at some neighbourhoods in Bucharest, explanations of those neighbourhoods, some of the architectural styles of some of the buildings seen there and most importantly food. Alex was our guide and seemed to very knowledgeable about all matters included in the tour. The food tasted, and there was a great deal of it, was apparently a taste of Romanian food eaten regularly. It included sausages, cheese, desert and salads at different venues. It also included Romanian plum brandy and beer. A visit to a market was also included. It was very interesting to taste these various foods. The tour overall was good and Alex was a very good tour guide.
