About this experience
Discover Bucharest like never before on our eco-friendly electric scooters, combining sustainability with storytelling. Unlike crowded bus tours, our self-balancing Smart Balance scooters go quietly through hidden alleys and grand boulevards, accessing areas larger vehicles can’t reach: the Palace of Parliament’s fascinating architecture or secret courtyards in the medieval Lipscani district.
Our local expert guide brings the city to life with untold stories: how a 15th-century inn inspired modern Romanian literature or why Revolution Square’s bullet-marked buildings symbolize resilience. We’re the only tour using electric scooters (90% lower emissions than buses), protection equipment included.
Choose your adventure with flexible itinerary options.
Perfect for adventurers seeking depth over distance. Free cancellation and 24/7 support ensure stress-free booking, while our patented scooter safety system guarantees fun for all skill levels.
