Experience the fascinating contradictions of Bucharest in one comprehensive day. From the rural charm of ancient villages to the monumental ego of the Communist regime, this tour offers a complete narrative of Romania’s capital.
We don't just show you landmarks; we tell the story of a nation.

Your day begins with the Palace of the Parliament, a staggering monument to totalitarian power and the second-largest administrative building on Earth. You will witness the architectural ambition of Nicolae Ceaușescu firsthand.

The journey continues to the Ceaușescu House (Primaverii Palace), where you’ll step into the private, gold-laden world of the dictator’s family, a striking contrast to the daily life of the era.

To balance the monumental with the traditional, we take you to the Village Museum, an oasis of greenery in the city center.
Here, you’ll walk among authentic peasant homes, windmills, and churches brought from every region of Romania.
