Overview

Private guided tour starting / ending in Bucharest
Local food and drinks are definitely part of a successful travel experience in a new country. Therefore we want to offer you the right combo between a cultural tour and a food tour in Romania. On the cultural side we will visit the most famous regions of Romania: Transylvania and Bucovina with the best they have to offer.

The culinary tour in Romania consists of tasting the food from different regions. We will try the Transylvanian food which is an interesting mix of Romanian, German and Hungarian cuisine and the Moldavian, Bucovinean gastronomy specific for the Eastern Romanian region.

Mostly you will have meals served in small restaurants or local guest houses which are serving homemade natural products. These little places use ingredients coming from the local farmers and producers.

The food tour in Romania will be completed by our drinks such as plum/pear brandy, fruit liqueurs, beer or wine. All of them being locally produced.
