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.

Join me on a half-day sightseeing tour of the best highlights of the city and experience them through a sociologist's filter! My years of training as a sociologist help me as a local guide to better portray the complex evolution of Romanian society and capital city, while keeping the tour interactive, fun and interesting. On our private tour we will make sense out of Bucharest's rich heritage: it was once called little Paris thanks to its beautiful French-inspired architecture and culture, then half a century of Communism laid a mark on the city, while now it strives to become a culturally vibrant European capital. Looking forward to welcoming you on the Bucharest 101 tour to share with you the best of the city, its rich history and culture, plus a few off the beaten path gems!
Main tourist attractions: - main historic avenue in town, Calea Victoriei / Victory Avenue - Romanian Athenaeum (beautiful Philharmonic) - main site of the 1989 Revolution, Revolution Square (former Central Committee of the Communist Party, Rebirth Memorial, former Royal Palace, statue of King Carol I) - Kretzulescu Church, Military Circle, Savings Bank (outside view) - typical Orthodox architecture - pedestrian Old Town, the historic heart of the city (+1 hour, optional coffee/restroom break) *** After the tour, I will provide a map and recommendations for traditional lunch/dinner/wine tasting in the Old Town. *** The pace of the tour is leisurely and there will be plenty of options to stop and rest shortly during our walk. *** The tour can be customized to better fit your interests and preferences. Please write to me and I will come back to you asap with the tailor-made tour.
