Fabulous tour guide - We just had one of the best tours of our life with Alina in Bucharest. She has so much information at her fingertips and boundless energy. She took us to great out of the way places and hidden gems. She did everything in her power to make sure that when we finished the tour, we knew so much about the history, architecture, politics, culture, and food of Romania. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a high-quality tour.

Be wary of pour parler but go and watch. - Beautiful city, beautiful old town, our guide, Daniela, careful, available to talk opening and closing with historical, geographical and religious hints on squares, streets (boulevar) churches and monuments.

Great experience not to be missed! - Our ride with Sever was really great! It was as interesting for us (adults) as it was for our 11-year-old daughter. In addition it allowed us to better understand the history of Romania and gave us good foundations for the rest of our trip. He answered all our questions and he even helped us take the metro back to the end of the ride. He also shared a lot of things from his life in Romania. We really loved it. The tour was varied and well balanced between history and more contemporary times. Thank you very much for allowing us to have such a beautiful meeting. We enjoyed our stay in Romania and it is surely also thanks to him!

Through a guided tour of Alina (When in Bucharest) you can only become a great friend and admirer of Bucharest - We had the pleasure of being personally guided by Alina through Bucharest. The more than three hours with her passed in the fastest flight - so interesting, colorful, exciting and humorous was her presentation of Bucharest. She led us to many places that you would never find on your own - gems of this wonderful city to which she initiated us. We have received very profound and lasting impressions of Bucharest through Alina and can highly recommend her and When-in-Bucharest. Thank you so much!

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.
