What You Will Do
Local Hosts turns tourists into locals and locals into tourists.
We know that during a tour it's best to stop for refreshments and quick bites! Thus, we've included them in all our tours.
Join us for a different experience in small groups & off the beaten path views!
We all want to hold in the everlasting gaze. A tour for the curious, the bold, and the spirited. Departing the Old Town by tube to visit the oldest and most beautiful cemetery in town. It’s basically an open-air museum, comparable to Père Lachaise. Enchanted in the rapture of its mysterious stories, we’ll take a turn through a lively park little-known to tourists but cherished by locals. Then we drop inside the oldest train station in Romania, and then we check out the former KGB headquarters close by. We’ll take a break at an old factory turned into a cultural hub, a perfect spot for quirky souvenirs and refreshments. And lastly, we’ll show you a secret passage to an old Mahalla, the oriental term for ‘neighborhood’.
