Our Story
It all began on a Sunday during family lunch. After a hearty meal and a glass of wine, a twist of fate led our parents to share stories of old Bucharest—their daily lives, cultural events, and urban myths. We were struck by how little we knew about our city, and in that moment, we decided to delve deeper.
Another twist of fate ignited our passion. Every day, we found ourselves talking to elderly locals, verifying stories, diving into archives, and uncovering fascinating details about Bucharest’s architectural and historical treasures.
Years of dedicated research unearthed countless forgotten stories, sparking a new idea: to offer tourists unique tours. Since 2018, we offer premium & tip-based tours, rich with personal memories and emotions, revealing hidden gems and untold tales. As our passion grew, so did our team, bringing together like-minded enthusiasts equally dedicated to uncovering Bucharest’s secrets.
With passion and experience, we crafted unforgettable tours, categorized them by themes, and opened them to the world. We guide visitors to fascinating sites, taking them beyond the usual tourist spots.
Incredible, right?
But call it fate. And call it fate that you’re here.
