Bucharest: Royal Palaces & Revolution's Echoes Walk

Alina was a verifiable fountain of knowledge regarding the architectural, cultural, and societal history of Bucharest, Romania, the Balkans, Eastern Europe, Russia and their relationship to Western Europe and the US. She's very personable, has a great sense of humor, who challenged what we've been taught about the region. I feel fortunate to having her as our guide.

Good 1/2 a day trip walking around Bucharest learning about the history and exploring the culture and architecture. Guide was very knowledgable and took the time to explain fully.

A brilliant introduction to Bucharest and Romanian history with Alina!!! Alina spoke a great English and her knowledge of Bucharest/Romania culture was incredible. Alina used the map and illustrations to show me the most significant events in Bucharest history, explained the development of the main/featured buildings of the city. As a result I have learned a lot on our 3 hours walk. I had a memorable day, thank you Alina 🤗!!!

On a very hot 39° day, my cousin and I were guided around by Alina for three hours. She was extremely informative about the history of Bucharest/Romania which was so interesting and put much into context for us. The time flew by as we thoroughly enjoyed the tour even though our heads were bursting with information. We would highly recommend Alina. Thank you.

We both had a very enjoyable time with Alina. Her knowledge and enthusiasm of Bucharest was excellent and the tour was full of interesting facts about the local customs, history and culture of the city and what it’s like to live in Bucharest over the past decades and which still very much lives on today. I would very much recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city. We found a great help having it early on in our day as it was a was a great starting point for the few days we spent in Bucharest. If you’re lucky enough to have Alina as your guide that will be an extra bonus.

Interesting tour, Alina was very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating to our schedule, it was great to learn about the history of the main building in the old city. Thank you!

There is a lot of walking involved. You need to be fit to do it. It is also advisable to carry a bottle of water, as the heat can be very demanding.

Our tour guide as soooo knowledgeable about Romania, Bucharest history, even architecture and religious beliefs. We learned a lot I will say that as an English only speaker it was often hard to understand our guide. This was a minor inconvenience compared to her clear excitement to impart the history of the area. However if this is a probable, for you consider this.

Alina was incredibly enthusiastic and knowledgeable leader of our tour. We found the tour a bit too long and would have preferred just 2 hours. It was very hot (32) and we had just arrived in Bucharest after a very early morning start so were all very tired. A proper refreshment stop 1/2 way through would have helped!

This was a very nice walking tour, covering the essential "to-see's" and a good overview of the core of the city. The price is right and the allotted time is about perfect. The only suggestion I would offer is that the guide could spent less time presenting his/her personal political views.
