Hi, there! Welcome to Bucharest! I am Alina, your local guide. And I warmly invite you to join me on a private tour of Bucharest, exploring the best of my charming home town! With years of experience as a licensed guide, I bring to my tours a lot of local knowledge delivered in a professional, friendly and entertaining way. My background is actually in sociology: I studied Political Sciences & Sociology and during college and graduate school I lived abroad in Italy and in France. This has greatly improved my intercultural communication skills and made me even more passionate about sharing and "translating" Romanian culture. After doing my PhD in sociology, for several years I taught at the University and learned at least as much as I taught! It was a marvelous experience which helped me better communicate and capture the attention of an audience. As a professional licensed guide, my goal is to ensure the best private tours and experiences for travelers interested in more than scratching the surface. All my Bucharest private tours are ready to be tailored into custom tours to fit you perfectly: - adapting the tours to your pace and interests - including wine tastings, traditional lunches or street food and pastries stops on our tour - accommodating larger groups Looking forward to hearing from you and to welcoming you here! Best wishes from sunny Bucharest, Alina PhD in Sociology International experience: - ERASMUS mobility scholarship, Universita degli Studi di Padova, Italia - Doctoral mobility scholarship at the Anthropology Department, Universite Victor Segalen Bordeaux II, France Bachelor in Political Sciences and Sociology National Guide License First Aid - Red Cross certificate Foreign language certifications: English - TOEFL diplomas French - DELF diploma Italian - CILS diploma Spanish - DELE diploma The Palace of the Parliament has their own guides for the interior visits.

On our day tour I will make sure you connect to the city life, local history and culture, while visiting the best of what Bucharest has to offer. I will show you the main landmarks and gladly share the story and life of the city from behind the scenes.

My tours are interactive and flexible, answering your curiosity to understand how Romanians live nowadays and how they think and feel about their past and future. On our day tour we will explore and make sense out of Bucharest's rich heritage: a Balkan flavour due to its Byzantine and Turkish influence, Communist heritage laying beside beautiful French, Romanian and Art Deco architecture and, most importantly, amazing lively atmosphere. Join me and experience a great day exploring the city together!
