5.00Alina was the best! She is very knowledgeable and interesting and also a true professional. She worked with me before, during, and after my tour to ensure I had the best visit to Bucharest. She was flexible and adjusted the walking tour for my walking speed and interests. Even after the tour, she had suggestions for my free time. Her recommendations were all fantastic. This was my third visit to Bucharest, and she introduced me to new sides of Bucharest I had not seen before. I most highly recommend When in Bucharest!

5.00This was hands down one of the best guided tours I’ve ever experienced. From the very first contact, the communication and support from Alina was outstanding. She went far beyond what you’d normally expect from a tour operator — helping us with restaurant recommendations, local customs, museum suggestions, tipping etiquette, weather updates, and even assisting personally with organizing a birthday cake for our group. Everything was handled with warmth, professionalism, and genuine care. On the day of the tour, our guide Ana was absolutely exceptional. She is an incredible storyteller with perfect English, excellent communication skills, and a deep passion for Bucharest and its history. The tour was informative, engaging, well-paced, and full of cultural insights — not just facts, but real context that helped us understand Romania’s past and present. We were a group of 13 people, and everything was perfectly organized, starting directly from our hotel. Ana kept the entire group engaged and made the city come alive through her stories. If you are looking for a private walking tour in Bucharest with a highly professional team and an outstanding guide, I cannot recommend this experience enough. Ana is a true asset, and the entire team sets a very high standard for guided tours. Thank you for an unforgettable experience! Archie and his friends

5.00My 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!
Daniela was perfect
