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.

It would be my pleasure to travel with you through history to "Communist Bucharest"! There are many reasons why I am very passionate about this period. Firstly, I am "made in communism", as indicated on my birth certificate: born in the Socialist Republic of Romania. I will gladly share interesting family stories from communism and the personal experience of growing up in a transition from communism to democracy. Secondly, as a sociologist, I will provide a unique perspective on what communism means for Romanians and how communism still marks Romanian society nowadays. In addition to Revolution Square, where the 1989 anti-communist revolution took place, on our private tour we will also visit the interior of the humongous Palace of the Parliament. Still called the "House of the People" by many, it is just fascinating! The tour is flexible & interactive, welcoming questions and giving us the chance to talk openly about what you are most curious about communism. Looking forward to welcoming you to town!
Main touristic attractions: - Revolution Square, main site of the Romanian Revolution of '89 - former Central Committee of the Communist Party - Rebirth Memorial dedicated to the martyrs of the Revolution - Palace of the Parliament, aka House of the People (interior visit, if possible) - Photo stop in Constitution Square - view of Union Boulevard, former Victory of Socialism Boulevard - church "moved" during the communist demolitions *** The passport or ID in original is required for the interior visit of the Palace of the Parliament (House of the People). Driving license not accepted as valid ID. *** 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 me and I will come back to you asap with the tailor-made tour.
