Bucharest Private Tours

Bucharest tours, Bucharest private tours, personal tours, ToursByLocals
Your private tour guide is waiting to show you the highlights of Bucharest - from the streets of the restored Old City Centre, to the grand architecture of the Royal Palace and Cismigiu Park. ToursByLocals features private tours to Bucharest that will show you the beauty of this wonderful city.

Nicolae Ceausescu's legacy, including the Parliament Palace (formerly called the People's Palace), which at 3.76 million square feet stands as the world's second largest building, provides an interesting introduction to the dictator's megalomaniac vision.

Regardless of when you visit, your personal tour guide to Bucharest can show you the buzzing cultural scene - 37 museums, 22 theatres, concert halls, opera house, 18 art galleries, jazz clubs and hip nightclubs.

Choose from the Bucharest tours offered by ToursByLocals, but feel free to suggest alternative places and activities. Your private tour can be customized by your personal guide to include exactly what you want to see and do in Bucharest.
Tour Guide Legal Requirements
If the nature of the tour is that the guide is 'interpreting the cultural and natural heritage of an area', Romania requires the guide have a guiding license. A person giving tours such as the 'best nightlife spots', 'shopping and fashion tour' or 'restaurant tour' for example, does not require a license. This definition follows the European standard for tour guiding (CEN).

Licensed Tourist Guides are the only professionals permitted to conduct tours in all sites and museums within a city. Licensed guides are required in those areas where the local authorities state that one of them is mandatory. There are freelance guides which have a small business and conduct tours/ guide visitors without having a license. This is not illegal as long as they are registered with the city/county tax department.

To become a Licensed Tourist Guide, candidates must pass an examination given by the local public tourist authorities. report error

All ToursByLocals guides have met our ToursByLocals Guide Requirements which includes warranting that they can legally give the tours they offer.

  • You choose the ACTUAL PERSON who will give your tour. See their photo, bio, credentials and communicate with them in advance via our website. They are locals, living in the same area as the tour.
