Dear Visitor!
Welcome to our project and to our way of exploring Bucharest!
Walkabout Free Tours started in 2010 as an enthusiastic initiative of some friends passionate about their city and in love with travelling.
Starting 2022, Traventure SRL will take this amazing project to the next level, continuing in the tradition of fun, entertaining and educational walking tours and experiences that uncover Bucharest and its many layers to our awesome guests.
Alina
I am very passionate about traveling, always seeking out the magic of places I visit and love meeting people and discovering diverse cultures.
I strongly believe that we travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us !
Let’s explore this beautiful city together!
Daniel
My name is Daniel and it’s a pleasure to be your guide!
My hobbies include: drawing in my sketchbook, fantasy themed pc games, taking photos with my phone, singing in front of my bathroom mirror, eating rice with vegetables, always trying to decide if I like cats or dogs more, etc. I am excited and very grateful for the opportunity to meet new people and tell them stories of Bucharest on these tours. Ever since I was a kid up to the present moment, Bucharest has given my many good memories, friends and awesome times!
So basically…I’m living proof that it’s a great town! Let’s not waste any more time and let’s start getting to know it! I am also a Libra so my tours will be perfectly balanced!”.
“Under the heavens we journey far/ On roads of life we’re the wanderers”.
Miruna
Hello, I am Miruna and I’m an art historian with a strong passion for architecture and the stories buildings can tell. I’m fascinated by how cities are shaped through their spaces, styles, and historical layers, from grand monuments to often overlooked details. I enjoy walking the streets and noticing the small things, exploring how history and everyday life changed the places we see today. I like sharing these stories in a relaxed and accessible way, helping people connect with Bucharest beyond its main sights. For me, guiding is about curiosity, conversation, and seeing familiar spaces through fresh eyes, turning a walk into a meaningful and enjoyable experience.
Elena
Hey! I am Elena – Enthusiastic, Ludic, Energetic, Natural, Active.
I am a puppeteer that is always playing, I think that everyone needs to get in touch with the inner child and play from while to while. One of my hobbies is showing the beauty of my city to everyone interested, locals or travelers.
Colors and smiles!
Tudor
My name is Tudor and even if I don’t relate with the Tudor Dynasty, I still believe my blood is a bit royal. But, the friendly Tudor version :). Anyway, the main thing I can say about me is that I’m an investigator rather than a guide. Anything that intrigues me, I end up going through all the files to come up with a part of the truth to tell it to my guests. Besides that, I like to explore unknown parts of Bucharest, a city that I find really filled with contrast and a lot to discover.
So as a conclusion I get to be the urban investigator explorer. Can’t wait to see you on one of my tours.
Anca
My name is Anca. I love everything about travel, tech and, surprisingly, macrame:)
If you think that is an eclectic gathering of activities, you should join me on tour so I can tell you ALL about the eclectic history of Bucharest and Romania.
I have been a tour guide for the past 7 years and I am still passionate about the amazing, chaotic, surprising, busy, noisy, inspiring city that is BUCHAREST.
Looking forward to walking alongside our amazing travelers through the meandering and quaint streets of the Old Town.
Mara
Hello, my name is Mara! I was born in Transylvania but I have been living in Bucharest for the last 13 years. I really enjoy travelling and meeting new people. My hobbies are everything related to Asian culture and travelling around the world.
My favorite phrase is “Hakuna matata”, so “don’t worry” and let’s explore the city together.
Georgia
Ciao a tutti! Io sono Georgia e sono una viaggiatrice curiosa con l’anima sempre in movimento. Mi piace perdermi tra strade nuove, cogliere l’essenza dei luoghi e lasciarmi ispirare dalle persone e dalle culture che incontro lungo il cammino. Ogni viaggio per me è una nuova storia che prende forma, ed è proprio da qui che inizia la prossima.
Esploriamo insieme questa splendida città! 🌍✨
Maria
Hi! I am Maria and I am happy to be your guide around the amazing city of Bucharest!
I was born in Rm. Valcea, but I have been living in Bucharest for over 8 years now. After discovering the city myself and falling in love with it, I am now excited to tell its stories to as many people as possible. My passions include travelling, hiking, history, food and learning about other people and cultures.
For me, being a tour guide means following my passions, and also discovering something new every day – about the city, other countries and about myself. It is not a job, it is like walking around Bucharest with new friends every time, so I am always enthusiastic for the next tour.
Are you ready for the tour?

Nato e cresciuto a Bucarest, sono una guida locale con una grande passione per le storie ben raccontate, le risate e le motociclette. Dopo 9 anni di lavoro con Costa Crociere, sono tornato “a terra” per far scoprire la mia città con entusiasmo, ironia e spirito da viaggiatore.

Julian
Hello, my name is Julian, I like connecting with people, share stories and explore new places. A few years ago I was passing this square where one of my colleagues was entertaining a group of people and I thought ” I HAVE to try this out” – hooked right on the spot.
Originally from Bucharest, I am passionate about the history of the city and being a guide has given me the chance to enhance that passion. There are a lot of interesting stories waiting to be unrevealed and places to be discovered so join me in an exploratory journey around the city.
