The visit will take you through the recent history of Romania, the good and bad influence communism had on the country. Very interesting!

Amazing Summary of Communism in Romania

Sanja_D, Feb 2024

Excellent tour & Guide Alex! We are a 3 generations group and we enjoyed it all equally! Alex told us the (hi)story of Communism in Romania and connected all the dots from visiting the Palace of Parliament and Ceausecu House.

Tutto bene la guida Lucia molto brava,solo che io non capisco l’inglese ,con la traduzione di google non ho capito molto, comunque è stato molto interessante

Une randonnée enrichissante

Christophe_Y, May 2024

Alex nous a entraînés à travers les rues et les méandres de l'histoire récente de sa ville et de son pays. J'ai beaucoup apprécié les talents de conteur d'Alex qui possède également une solide culture scientifique (je suis moi même historien) mais aussi son humour et sa capacité à s'adapter au groupe. Merci beaucoup Alex !
