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.

Tour with guide in Bucharest - We were a group of 4 couples for a stay in Bucharest and we turned to this agency who entrusted us to an experienced and prepared guide, Daniela, who assisted us during this private tour in an excellent way. Daniela as well as explaining in detail the history of Romania, accompanied us through the streets of Bucharest making us visit the narrow streets and the most particular and beautiful places. We recommend it.

Hidden corners. - When visiting Bucharest, you could do no better than to book a guided tour by "When in Bucharest". I had requested a general tour, with some "untreaded paths" thrown in. Alina proposed two tailor made, three hour walks through the city, in French, to choose from. What we got could not have been closer to perfection. A well balanced tour by our guide Sever, that consisted of a mix of history, culture, architecture and monuments, modernism and just to top it all off he threw in some locations and interesting extras that any unguided tourist would have walked by. Highly recommended!
