My Friend in Bucharest

Where Bucharest Becomes Personal.

Explore the city with a local who knows every hidden corner. Small-group tours that feel personal, relaxed, and authentically Romanian. Kickstart your Bucharest trip with a local friend who keeps it fun, tasty, and unforgettable. Small groups, big memories.

 

My goal isn’t to present Bucharest from a distance — it’s to share it with you the way I share it with friends from abroad: with warmth, honesty, humor, and the stories that don’t show up in brochures.

Attractions

What Bucharest has to offer

The city mixes elegance with rawness, history with modern energy, tradition with curiosity. And because so much of its beauty hides behind corners and inside courtyards, you need a local to uncover it fully.

Our Expert Tour Guide

Hi — I’m Costin. Born and raised in Bucharest, I spent my school and early working years here before gaining international experience in Dubai and Scotland. In 2018 I returned to Romania, and today I live just outside the city in Otopeni, close to the country’s main airport. My life here — growing up, working, exploring — means I know Bucharest’s streets, stories, and hidden corners like the back of my hand.

Over the years I’ve explored countless cafés, restaurants, pubs, museums, and beautiful buildings that make this city special. I love sharing those discoveries with visitors, guiding small groups through authentic local experiences that feel more like hanging out with a friend than a typical tour. Consider this your invitation: come to Bucharest curious, and leave with memories — and maybe a friend. See you soon!

The tour was informative and you demonstrated your expertise in history even with gastronomy as attached with culture. English fluency is very satisfactory which is important to communicate things well. Excellent job!

I spent time in Bucharest this summer and I had the chance to learn about the city through Costin, and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction! He clearly has a lot of knowledge of Bucharest’s and Romania’s history, architecture, and political life, which he brings to life with context and stories. He’s also just an incredibly friendly and sociable guy who is always up for having a bit of fun. I would highly recommend his tours to anyone who wants to understand Bucharest beyond the surface!
