At the end of the 3 hours you will have most of your questions about the regime answered but you will also have the opportunity to ask any further ones to your guide. You will also understand how the regime that ended more than 30 years ago still influences Romania(n)'s life.

Best walking tour we have ever been on. Vlad did a great job explaining what happened during the regime. He experienced it first hand and while walking through the city pointed out so many important landmarks to help bring his story to life.

The tour was really interesting and John shared many stories from his own experience which gave it a personal touch. Highly recommended.

This is a must do! I did the communism tour with colleagues. Everyone was amazed by the stories and knowledge of the tourguide. The story was personal and interactively told by Andreea.

Huge shout out to Andrea and also apologies as I would have given her a tip had I remembered which my wife later told me off for. This was a brilliant, utterly engrossing three hour (with 20 minute tea and toilet break) walk around parts of central Bucharest, telling the political and social history of Romania from the 20th century through to today. Andrea did this through some of the buildings - both obvious ones but quite often obscure ones you wouldn't otherwise have looked twice at. It was enthralling, somehow managing to get even better and more interesting as it went on. Despite doing the tour regularly she sooke with real passion and enthusiasm. I am 56 (thanks, I know I dont look it) and this was the best guided tour I have ever done anywhere without exception. Quite brilliant.

That was great! I want to say thank you to Andrea for this great experience. I really not a big fan of excursions because I prefer to know real stories of real people, not just common facts about historical monuments. And Andrea provided this interesting journey into stories of real, simple people who went through this period of communism. I learned a lot of interesting facts, got a deep understanding of thins that had influence on Romanians. And even understood some reasons of modern Romanians way of thinking. Thank you so much. That was great.

Andreea very kindly accommodated me on this tour, despite being the only person booked to go on it (during what I understand is a quieter time of year for tourists and, of course, during a pandemic). Andreea made me feel totally at ease from the moment we met and we enjoyed some lovely conversation, particularly during our break. Andreea is a fantastic and knowledgeable tour guide and has clearly put a lot of work into her tour. I would recommend that you do this tour as soon as you arrive in Bucharest, as it gives you a great understanding of the city and the people, particularly as the tour comes from a local perspective.
