Bukarest judiska arv | Privat vandringstur

From start to finish it was an amazing experience. Not only is Alina knowledgeable on the history, but has the temperament and kindness to curate an amazing day while both celebrating Jewish heritage and navigating the darkness that clouds their past. All three temples are exceptional in their own ways. Being able to speak one-on-one with the caretakers of each space added to the experience. I could not recommend this expérience more!

My wife and I had such a great time on this Bucharest tour! We honestly didn’t know exactly what to expect, but it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. Our guide Alina was absolutely amazing. She was super friendly, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable about the city. You could really tell that she loves what she does, and that made the whole tour feel very relaxed and enjoyable. She shared so many interesting stories about Bucharest’s history, architecture, and culture, and also showed us little details and places we would have definitely missed on our own. Walking through the Old Town with her explanations and stories made the city come alive. It never felt like a boring history lesson — it was fun, interesting, and very engaging the whole time. My wife and I both agreed afterwards that this tour was one of the best decisions we made during our visit. If you’re in Bucharest, we can 100% recommend this tour — and if you get Alina as your guide, you’re really lucky. She’s fantastic!

My sister and I went around to find traces of our maternal family. Alina, was more than a guide, from the beginning to the end of our stay in Bucharest she was constantly in contact with us. Pointing us at unusual visits, worrying about whether we were okay. A beautiful meeting and a very rich visit for us and especially unforgettable! Thank you.

Alina was a fantastic tour guide. She clearly knows the city deeply and has many connections amongst the others who care about Bucharest history, which made it so personal. She customized the tour for us, including the Jewish history of our hotel, and other things we passed along the route. She was a great example of the welcoming spirit of the very educated and kind Romanian people! Highly recommend this service.

Just finished the most wonderful Jewish heritage tour with Alina. She went out of her way to make us feel welcome in Bucharest. She had so much information at her fingertips and she supplemented this with photos of years past. This is definitely one of the best tours we have ever had and I highly recommend her to anyone coming to Bucharest.

A huge thank you to Alina for all her advice, knowledge, time spent with us for this guided tour of the Jewish Quarter. We learned so much from her. An unforgettable experience that I recommend unreservedly.

Alina was an engaging, knowledgeable, and thorough guide. The tour was scheduled for 3 hours and she spent 4 hours with us! She taught us a lot about Romanian Jewish history and arranged for us to see all the Jewish sites in Bucharest and meet a leader of each institution: 1) Holy Union Temple (History Museum of the Jewish Romanian Community where we spoke with the director; 2) Great Polish Synagogue (Holocaust history museum) where we learned from a local Jewish volunteer; 3) Choral Temple where we heard from Gabriel, the gabbai; 4) State Yiddish Theater where we met with the director; 5) We walked by Lion of Judah square and the Laude-Reut secular Jewish school with 1% of the students are Jewish. After our tour, we ate a delicious lunch at Abraham, an Israeli kosher dairy restaurant nearby. Tours by Locals is great to deal with for wonderful tours.

Alina was an amazing tour guide and shared with us a huge amount of information about Romanian Jewish history and the current Jewish footprint in Bucharest. She brought us to the Yiddish Theatre for a fascinating tour of the theatre, and provided us with information on restaurants and other interesting sites in the city. I would highly recommend booking her if visiting Bucharest.

Excellent tour - very insightful on the various sights we visited, but went above and beyond and provided lots of additional insight and information that greatly enhanced our visit to Bucharest. Highly recommended

Alina's enthusiasm and wealth of knowledge made for a wonderful experience. I highly recommend the tour and Alina for all those interested.
