Beautiful day in Bucharest - Alina was superb! I came to Bucharest with my daughter to show her our family heritage and Alina customized a day tour that will be remembered. She is well informed, kind and really made the day special. My daughter absolutely loved her and thinks it was the perfect day in Bucharest! So much so she can’t wait to come back to visit again. Alina made amazing recommendations (from coffee shops, restaurants and the Therme spa) and made the day interesting for me and my 12 year old. I Would highly recommend her tours for an authentic experience in Romania!

Private Bucharest Walking Tour - We had to deal with an agency (Alina Brasoveavo) that offered a private Francophone service, what a wonderful choice. Everything was perfect, the reservation, the follow-up until the day of the excursion. I'd do the experiment again anytime.

Walking tough Bucharest - A concise walk through the history of Romania and unusual but factual events in the city. Good recommendation for lunch and a good place to take a break from walking.

Outstanding private Bucharest city tour - This was an outstanding tour of Bucharest for my wife and I and our friend. Alina was super knowledgeable and extremely personable—all three of us thoroughly enjoyed the tour. She has a PhD in history and also knows how to communicate so that we all could follow along and understand. She customized our walking trip on the fly to accommodate our interests and the places we’d already visited. She also was prompt with all communications and even sent follow up links to watch short videos or read about sights that interested us. I highly recommend her and her company for your tour in Bucharest or Romania.

A visit to do absolutely - Delighted with our guided tour with Ana which was great. The explanations about the history of the country, of the city were very clear, well done. The illustrations proposed at each point, important dates, allowed to better realize. Her French was very good and she always answered our various questions. I strongly advise to make this visit as soon as you arrive, when you do not really know the history of the country. It is almost indispensable because then you discover differently, with another look what you discover. I would like to warmly thank Alina, the head of the agency, for her extreme kindness and with whom the exchanges have always been at the top. Even after the visit she advised us on things to do, to visit when she did not have to. She was concerned that our stay went as well as possible and that is really a show of kindness. I recommend without hesitation.
