Hello! I am Silvana, a passionate tour guide at your service. Welcome to Romania! Let my young demeanor not fool you - I am a BA in Art History with a master's degree in Museum Studies and a keen interest in social history, responsible tourism, and lifelong learning (among other things). I see myself really privileged to have such a wonderful profession: I get to meet people from all around the world, share quality time & conversations with them, do exciting new things and see the most beautiful places every day. It's not a job, I tell you, it's a dream come true! Why book a tour with me? *Born and raised in Bucharest, I know the city's most surprising details which I am eager to share with you on fun walking tours. *On my private half-day and full-day trips I do my best to provide more than so-called "facts". Instead, I try to offer fresh and nuanced insights into past and present Romania. *I am always up-to-date with all the exciting things around town - on my tours you will get lots of tips about what to see and do while in Bucharest. *Last but not least - all my tours are thoroughly prepared in advance and will be carefully adapted to your specific needs and interests. Got any questions or suggestions? Or want to book a tour? Drop me a line and I will get back to you in no time! Credentials: National Tourism Guide certified by the Romanian Ministry of Tourism BA in Art History and Theory (University of Bucharest) MA in Museum Studies and Critical Theory (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) I do not drive but can accompany you in your vehicle. FYI: Most museums in Bucharest are closed on Mondays & public holidays and some (like the Palace of Parliament and the Ceausescu Mansion) have their own guides for interior visits.

We had a fantastic day with Silvana. Her tour of Bucharest was extremely interesting. She was communicative, knowledgeable and flexible. Most of all we enjoyed being with her for the tour and seeing her city through her eyes. I would highly recommend a tour with Silvana when you are in Bucharest.

This tour on Jewish history in Bucharest was initially thoughtful and informative, covering both the contributions of Jewish communities and the destruction they faced during the Holocaust. That is what made the ending so difficult to reconcile. The guide referred to the creation of the State of Israel as a “project that didn’t work” and suggested that Jews who survived...

Thank you for your input, Michelle. It's indeed a sensitive topic that we touched on during our tour. I trust that open-minded dialogue makes the world a better place and that this was a growing experience for all of us. All the best from Bucharest!
