Fascinating Bucharest! - My wife and I only had half a day to experience Bucharest. Glad we chose this private tour and had Alina as our guide. She filled us in on everything about Bucharest in a 4-hour space - history, culture, architecture, arts, food and the people. Before we knew it, our tour was over and we were right back near our hotel in time for a hearty dinner at a restaurant which she recommended. You know it's a wonderful city and a great tour when you feel you want to revisit the place. Thanks Alina!

Right choice! - Perfect tour for those who have little time and want to have a “flour” on the history of the city and Romania. Alina, the guide, kind and prepared. I'd do it again.

Excellent - We had a wonderful experience in Bucharest! The communication with Alina beforehand was smooth and very professional. Our guide, Elena, was truly excellent – extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and a pleasure to listen to throughout the tour. She went above and beyond, even helping us navigate the metro system afterwards. A fantastic guide and a great experience overall – highly recommended!

A step away from the abyss 😅 🆘 - 5 stars well deserved , Alina the contact and Daniela who was our guide saved us the holiday in Bucharest. A few hours before arrival the tourist agency where we had leaned on stood us up for the city tour. Fortunately I found them. Contacted on WhatsApp she replied after a few minutes and we organized everything. Daniela, our guide was very punctual, very nice. We toured the city for three hours making us discover some places that we certainly would not have seen alone. The icing on the cake was the entrance to the Parliament that was not included in the tour but Alina and Daniela managed to organize us even that despite the timing did not allow it since you had to book in advance the entrance , fortunately there were only two and they put us in a group. Daniela also booked us a place on a terrace for a sunset view aperitif (I Closer To The Moon Line). Impeccable Service.

An unforgettable discovery of Bucharest with Alina" - We had a wonderful day of sightseeing in Bucharest with When in Bucharest. 🌟 Alina is an exceptional guide: passionate, knowledgeable and always smiling. She knows how to transmit the history and architecture of the city in a lively way, punctuated by anecdotes and humor that captivate adults and children alike – our son loved it! Before the visit, Alina took the time to contact us to find out our tastes and adapt the itinerary as well as possible, which made the experience even more personalized. We warmly recommend this tour to anyone who really wants to experience Bucharest in depth – an experience that would be impossible to live in the same way without a guide. Many thanks again to Alina for her good mood and this unforgettable day! 🙏✨
