- Sue G0 contributionsGreat experienceBoys and their toys, my husband had a whale of a time with this experience, really fun and hair raising!!Written November 29, 2022
- rizab-m-20220 contributionsAdrenaline and fun!Riding these cars is indeed fun and extremely positive experience, for both yourself and tourists on the street. I totally recommend it as there are very few cities you can do this in. Remember to: - watch your wheels, and side distance, as they are ouside the car body and may hit something - remove your right foot from the acceleration pedal during emergency braking because inertia will try to make you push it and car wont brake effectively - if you are experienced driver try to take a slot closer to the guide/leading car so that less experienced drivers wont slow you down - slow down before or try to bypass the road bumps/holes otherwise they will shake out your soul Enjoy.Written October 29, 2022

- 363monicat0 contributionsYou need to try thisIf you want to have a unique experience, like none before, this is the place to check out. It puts driving into a whole different perspective and the fun is off the charts. Staff is awesome and helpful, so much so, that you'll feel like a friend, not a customer. It might seem a bit pricey, but you are provided with everything you need and the experience is well worth it!Written June 24, 2019

Highly recommed it. It was an interesting happening for me and my friends. We toured iconic areas of Bucharest in the beautiful lights of sunset with these very cool, tiny yet powerful cars. Alex and Mihai are very professional and know exactly how to make the whole driving experience safe.

We went as a group of 6 on this epic experience, which was without doubt the highlight of Bucharest. We originally booked to go in the morning, but missed it due to some unforeseen circumstances. We reached out, and the team could not have been more accommodating to fit us in during our trip.
We ended up doing the evening experience (in the dark), which whilst daunting at first, was epic. It was super fun to drive around the streets of Bucharest in our own cars, hitting great speeds. Safety was always considered, with everyone receiving a 1-on-1 tutorial on how to use the vehicle.
I cannot recommend this experience enough, well worth the money!

We heard about this place from a friend who lives here in Bucharest and he enjoyed it really much. So together with a friend we also wanted to try this and booked a ride for 60 minutes. The staff was very friendly and helpful to let you understand the hot rod first before you the roads. Touring through the city in such lovely and nice looking hot rods is an experience, we enjoyed it a lot and the people in Bucharest did as well. Lots of smiles in and outside the hot rods.

This was a unique and fun activity on our first day in Bucharest after a river cruise. Our Uber driver dropped us off at the wrong place and it was challenging to find when we didn't know where to look. It's about a block behind the Mitsubishi dealer, set back in the middle of a lot. Fortunately, a phone call and some direction found us at the Hot Rod garage for our one hour adventure. We were the only ones on our tour. The little cars are noisy, which leads to a lot of curious stares and grinning bystanders. We had our photos taken many times, and a few inquiries from people interested in setting up tours.
When we arrived, we were given a briefing on how to drive the hot rods and drove around the lot a few times to get the hang of it. Be aware that the cars have no suspension springs and you feel every bump. Bucharest streets have bumps! I am average in height and my feet barely reached the pedals because of a "U" shaped brace that is between your legs. My knees hit exactly at that brace, which meant for me I was having to turn my ankles in and drive with my toes. I made it work, but it was not real comfortable and I came away with plenty of small bruises on my knees and lower legs. It was a small annoyance, and just something to be aware of if you aren't very tall.
We drove all around the center of Bucharest, and once our tour leader knew we had the hang of driving, we even had some long and smoother streets to open up on and really get up some speed. It was a hot day and we had so much fun that we didn't even notice the heat!
I'd absolutely recommend this as a fun activity in Bucharest. They provided a liner and helmet. The only stops were at lights or roundabouts, so this isn't a tour with narration. You can't take out your camera and take photos, because you are busy driving. If you want that, go take a bus tour. But if you want a friendly, fun, exciting, active way to see part of the city, this is an experience not to miss!

Great fun! I would highly recommend this activity. I would love to come back and do it again with other friends. For anyone feeling apprehensive or uncertain, it can seem intimidating at first but it's super fun. The cars are easy to drive and the staff make you feel better if you think you might be the slower one in the group. Nobody will ridicule you for being cautious. I think this might be on people's minds who read the reviews, so I'm writing to give a reassurance this is a worthwhile event that you won't regret. I thought the staff took great care of my friend and I during our booking and I appreciated that very much!

I am from Bucharest, but this was the coolest tour of the city I’ve ever had.
Totally recommend this kind of experience.
It is a fun and amazing way to spend your afternoon.
Driving these cars is just insane in a good way.
Even if you are from Bucharest, it is a great experience, but if you are outside here and you want to have some fun and discover the city, it’s a must!

Driving the hot rods was so fun! The city is beautiful and made the tour fantastic. The staff were amazing and friendly. They really went above and beyond.
After the tour we tried to get an Uber to the lake for a late lunch. 30 minutes of waiting and 2 Uber drivers arriving then driving away, cancelling due to there being 4 of us. One of the staff saw we were still standing around approached us and drove us to our destination. He refused to take anything for compensation. Great experience, amazing staff; highly recommend!

If you're wanting a novel and fun way to explore the old and new city, this is it!
Best fun I've had in quite some time. Was funny watching people stop to take videos and photos as we drove past
alongside BMWs, Audis and other city traffic. All despite the fact the adventure had been operating for 4 years.
Many thanks to Michael for the clear directions, general information about Bucharest and the great circuit through the city.

We had a lot of fun driving around with our driver.
The hot rods can go very fast and that was my favorite part.
It’s not possible to stop and you concentrate around the driving but it is all worth it.
Great instructions before take off.
We got to go on a small test drive before going into Bucharest city traffic.

Absolutely insane! Never driven a go kart or on the right side of the road and the guide couldn’t have made us feel safer! They make sure to get plenty of videos and pictures for you, if you’re visiting Bucharest you MUST do this, completely worth every penny
