Bucharest walking tours
Warm small-group walking tours in German, English, or Spanish for curious hotel guests who want stories, local context, and an easy first connection with the city.
Friends in Little Paris is Bucharest through the eyes of a well-informed local friend. We trade the lecture for conversation, the checklist for curiosity, and help you feel at home in the city from the first walk.
Tours available in German, English, and Spanish.
The walking tours
Friends in Little Paris is built for independent tourists who want more than a checklist. The pace stays relaxed, strangers become a friendly group, and Bucharest opens through stories, neighbourhoods, flavours, and useful local orientation.
Choose German, English, or Spanish when you request a place.

Cinematic storyteller
A graduate of Bucharest’s Film Directing Faculty and the German High School, Gerhard uses the tools of cinema, the structure of theatre, and German precision to turn a Bucharest tour into a cinematic experience—blending humour with moments of genuine gravity.
Frank left a five-star Google review for Gerhard.
Warm cultural translator
A graduate of the Miguel de Cervantes Spanish High School, Irina has taught Spanish to hundreds of students alongside her work as a guide. With a passion for political science, she brings Latin energy to every tour, adding the vibrancy and fire of her spirit.
“Excellent guide. She showed us many places in Bucharest and her explanations…”
Together, Gerhard and Irina keep the promise at the heart of Friends in Little Paris: guests should feel as though they are discovering Bucharest with friends, not being processed through a generic tour.
