If you want an amazing private tour guide in Bucharest, Romania you must contact Bianca at “Ultra Violet Bucharest Tours.” She is extremely knowledgeable and articulate. It is clear that she really enjoys her work and is totally devoted to making sure you enjoy your tour. Upon request she is willing to design a tour that will take you off the beaten path. That is what I did and it was terrific!

Bianca was a fabulous tour guide! With only a few days in Bucharest, I am so glad we spent our first full morning with her. She had a very thoughtful itinerary and found beautiful spots we never would have discovered on our own. We got a great overview of the city and country’s history. She was also wonderful with our 4 year old. If you are looking for a terrific tour guide, look no further!
