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.

Overview of your Bucharest tour

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!

5 stars -- Alina is a wonderful guide!! We had a fantastic walking tour of Bucharest with her and are so glad we had the opportunity to get to spend a few hours with her. She is personable, very knowledgeable, and has a great sense of humor. She was very organized and made optimal use of our time with her. Before and after our tour, Alina provided several wonderful dining and dessert options close to our hotel. This was a great experience and made our time in Bucharest so much more enjoyable -- highly recommended!!

Alina is an excellent tour guide. She has a great understanding of the city of Bucharest and of Romanian history. Her English is very clear and she was so enthusiastic about sharing her immense knowledge with us. She provided excellent tips on things to do before we met her and followed up with more suggestions after our tour was over. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to get a general overview of Bucharest and Romanian history.
