The experience

The tour starts with pickup from your hotel and moves straight into the evening drive through Bucharest's center. Your guide narrates the route in English, pointing out the Palace of Parliament (the second-largest administrative building in the world after the Pentagon), and walking you through what makes each landmark significant. Victoriei Street, the oldest and longest boulevard, carries you past the Revolution Square where Romanians fought against communism, then to University Square to see the National Theatre and the Intercontinental Hotel, one of the city's most recognizable structures in the heart of the center.

The drive wraps at Free Press Square and the Arch of Triumph, where you step out to take in the cityscapes your guide has been explaining. From there you head to a traditional restaurant for a three-course dinner that tastes like Romania. The meal is the anchor of the evening, and you eat at a pace that lets you linger. The minivan is air-conditioned, bottled water is on board, and the whole outing runs three hours. If you finish dinner before 10 PM, your driver takes you back to the hotel. If you want to stay longer at the restaurant, you arrange your own return.

What kind of food do you eat at the traditional restaurant?

The dinner is a three-course meal of traditional Romanian cuisine served at a local restaurant. The menu showcases the flavors of Romania, though the specific dishes vary by season and the restaurant's offerings that evening.
