I lead myself
For twelve years I have gathered small groups and taken them to places I fell in love with myself: the Balkan, Melnik, Rome. No tourist conveyor belt — just stories, good food and people you become friends with.
see you on the road, Alina
My next trips
Places are few — the group is up to 16 people, so we can hear each other and never wait around.

Not an agency, but a person
My name is Alina Marinova, I am from Varna and have been a licensed tour guide since 2014. I worked at a large travel agency and learned there what I do not want: groups of 50, rushing, and hotels by the motorway.
So I plan every Alina Tour trip myself, travel the route beforehand and stay with you from the first minute to the last. When you call — I am the one who answers.
Slowly, with taste and together
A small group
Up to 16 people in a comfortable minibus. We get to know each other in the first hour — and often keep travelling together.Places with soul
Guest houses and family hotels I know personally. No giant hotels, no buffets.Local food
We eat where the locals eat. The price always includes at least one dinner that I pick.Time for you
The programme has room to breathe: free afternoons, unhurried coffee and optional walks.

What people write after a trip
I travelled alone and was afraid I would feel lonely. I came back with three new friends and a birthday invitation. Alina keeps the group together like a family.
Maria Ivanova, VarnaZheravna, Kotel and ElenaI had been to Rome before, but this time I actually saw it. A trattoria without a single tourist, Trastevere at night, and stories I still retell to my kids.
Nikolay Petrov, ShumenRome in four daysEverything was thought through — from the water on the bus to the bench where we waited for slower walkers. You can tell Alina had walked every metre before us.
