We took the Best of Bucharest tour with Alina and it was excellent. Alina shared her wealth of knowledge about the city and its history in a way that was informative and interesting - the time flew by! She also followed up with an email of recommendations tailored to our interests - best wine bars and dessert places, recommendations to learn more about Romanian history, several museum suggestions, etc. The pace of the tour was great - it was only afterwards when we had to walk back to our car that I realized how much ground we had covered. Alina has a great personality for a tour guide - smart, interesting, patient, well organized, flexible, with a great sense of humour. She was happy to answer any questions that we had. She also showed us many photos of sites from previous times to supplement her narrative, so you could visualize how things evolved. We recommend her without hesitation. (We often use Context Travel guides when travelling, but this company is not in Romania. Alina would be among the best of the Context guides, if you are looking for a comparison.) Thank you for a great Sunday, Alina!

Toefil was a wonderful guide, very patient with the kids and was able to adapt the tour to fit our requests and our schedule. We got to see a working fulling mill powered by a water wheel, the beautiful village of Breb, and we visited with a local historian and a local craftsman and tasted some homemade spirits. We visited the Sapanta-Peri Monastery and the Merry Cemetery. It was a great day, and we loved all the local stories!
