“Absolutely excellent tour with guide Lucia. Lucia was very engaging and knowledgable, as she had personal experience from her childhood of the Revolution and was a life long resident of Bucharest. She explained the history of the city very well and brought it to life for us. She explained Romanian culture well and put it in the context of the history of Budapest. She showed us places on the route and close to the route which she recommended we come back to later and look at in more detail. Her route through the city was well planned and safe and the bikes were well maintained. A lovely cafe stop too…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4 reviews · 1 day · from $23Best value

Rent an electric bike or scooter for 24 hours and pedal Bucharest’s sights, parks, and palaces for about $23 per person.

“Bucharest is a tough city to bike in. There’s not much cycling infrastructure. Having said that, there are plenty of parks and forested residential streets to safely explore. The price for the rental was reasonable and I was able to use it all day long (I returned it at 7 and could’ve stayed later). My non-electric road bike held up great with no mechanical issues/flat tires.”
