Jewish Bucharest Tour
Our most beloved tour!
With only about 5,000 members of the Jewish community left in Bucharest today, it is rather difficult to imagine that in 1930 it represented up to 11% of the entire city’s population. The Jewish quarter was severely affected by the Fascist pogrom in the 40s, followed by the demolitions initiated in the 80s by the communists, with most streets simply wiped out and 6 synagogues and Jewish temples demolished. Nevertheless, some emblematic buildings like the Great Polish Synagogue and the legendary Baraseum Theatre have survived and are here to tell their stories.
Take a trip down the history lane and learn about some of the most influential Jewish personalities, like the Dadaist and Modernist architect Marcel Iancu and his landmark buildings, discover the major sights and cultural icons of the former Jewish Quarter in Bucharest and find out about a darker period of Romanian history.

Smart, funny, endlessly informative and one of the world’s great tour guides, you must be careful as Laura’s infectious, charming and insightful personna may make you want to take out Romanian citizenship in order to hang out with her even more!

I asked for a very specific tour of Romanian Orthodox churches and monasteries. Laura customized the itinerary and I was able to see everything that I wanted to see. She was extremely knowledgeable about the sites, was patient wanted to stay longer, etc. She also provided excellent recommendations on where to eat authentic Romanian food and purchase authentic icons. I highly recommend Laura as a tour guide.

We really enjoyed the tour with Laura! She was very personable and friendly and extremely knowledgeable! We asked her to change the tour plan from the original plan and she was super easy about it and was able to accommodate our request and knew much information about the subject even though it was not preplanned… she was just a wonderful tour guide! We would definitely recommend her as well as use her again!!
