The dark side of Bucharest and the life of Gypsies, Private tour

Posted By : Barry_S
The trip shows various levels of gypsy existence in Bucharest. Guides Sebastian and Matthew were knowledgeable about gypsy life and led us into areas where we would definitely not be welcome otherwise. If you would like a taste of reality in Bucharest that you would not get on a normal tour, you should consider this one.

Sebastian was incredibly accommodating when it came to getting this tour scheduled for my friend and myself. We were picked up from our chosen location and Sebastian dove right in to educating us about the Roma/Gypsy community. We were able to walk around three different neighborhoods and gain an understanding of this interesting group of people. Just like any population, there are those living in poor conditions and those living in conditions with more privilege. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning about the Roma/Gypsy people. Having a local take us to three different neighborhoods, walk with us, and answer all our questions was invaluable. For the amount of time we got to spend learning about this community, we feel like we received great value for our money. Sebastian was even gracious enough to provide us with a restaurant recommendation and drop us off there after the tour. Seriously — this was a 10/10 experience!

So you make a profit by asking strangers for money to take them and show them people who are extremely vulnerable anyway??the lack of empathy and the fact that you allow yourself to do such a thing is shocking and heart breaking And the people who pay to go to this zoo of people... where is your humanity?

Very fun-filled tour rich in backstories of the gypsies. Tour guide value-added to the experience by adding in some elements of the city tour inside. One of the very few rare tours that dare to show tourists beyond the 'cookie cutter' touristy locations.

We travelled to Bucharest as we are very interested in Eastern Europe. On the first day, we did a walking tour in the old town which was very nice. Seeing also the dark side was even more interesting. Nick (Nicolae Cristian) is an experienced guide who knows so much about his country, the good and bad parts and also about history. The 3,5h went by very fast and we had an excellent time.

Sebastian was excellent. Very safe and interesting with him! Saw how the gypsies live! Saw where they bought groceries. Bought some ourselves at their large market.

Is not a tour for everybody, is very dangerous with alot of adrenaline. But with Vlad, everything will be ok . His humanity will help in those situation, and you will discover the incredible “ghetto “ of Ferentari. The discovering of the Rroma culture, and more things. Just better do what it tells you becaude something wrong can make risk your life. We will come back Vlad, MUTLUMESC 👋🏽😊

Un grazie immenso a Valerică per averci guidati nei posti/quartieri più oscuri di Bucharest. Perché appunto in ogni viaggio bisogna conoscere anche il lato ‘brutto’. Consigliato!
