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.

Overview of your Bucharest tour

Are you curious to see what's beyond the 'best of' tours of Bucharest? Eager to explore Bucharest as it is? Then you've come to the right place! Let's go off the beaten path and explore the city's less-known areas through the eyes of a local. That's me! A licensed tour guide born and raised in Bucharest. I will be your host on this free-flow tour of Romania's most important city. I bet your Lonely Planet guide doesn't even mention the Drumul Taberei neighborhood where I grew up - a typical 1970s development that will make Romanian communism and the post-socialist era much easier to comprehend. Or maybe you'd prefer to visit a social experiment made in the 50s - the tiny and green neighborhood where I live now. It's not only part of the largest district of Bucharest but also next to the city's loveliest park that few tourists ever come to know. Whatever you wish to discover about Bucharest I'll be more than happy to make that a trip to remember!

Your Bucharest tour itinerary

While reading through the itinerary please keep in mind 3 things: 1. this tour can and will be further tailored to suit your particular interests and style; 2. you will set the pace of the tour so as to best enjoy it; 3. on my tours there's a very strict 'all you can ask' policy :). On this tour we might: * first visit Bucharest's oldest part - the city center, where most of the famous monuments are; * then explore a so-called 'dormitory neighborhood' of the 1970s and 80s, with its park, swimming pool, local produce market, school, and the likes; * go to the posh side of the city to examine "the discreet charm of the bourgeoisie"; * stop for a snack or proper lunch in a cozy restaurant.
