Phenomenal and Fascinating - One of the best tours I've ever had. I went with family members who share this sentiment. Andreea was a remarkable guide. She did an impressive job of distilling life under communism in Romania, how it evolved over the years and the legacy we see today. It is a great tour for all backgrounds and familiarity with the subject. We loved how Andreea's tour was a cohesive and layered story that gave us a nuanced understanding and appreciation for Romanians and their history. The Real Tour of Communism is a must for anyone coming to Romania who wants a memorable and meaningful trip but it could also be a powerful experience for locals as well. Do this tour.
