Life under Communism

Posted By : Matthew_D
Our tour guide was very informative and full of knowledge about what life was like under communism. From the day to day, politics, mentalities, etc. You see a lot of the city on this walking tour, I highly recommend it.

Victor was a great tour guide - very knowledgable and had many stories with a personal connection which really brought the tour to life - booked another tour on the basis of this tour with him - would definitely recommend Victor as a guide 😀

It’s cold. Thought you had a day off then solo tourist book your tour the last minute on the same day. If I were Cristina, I would’ve cancelled the tour. But no. She showed up with two other local friends! Looking at her reviews, I bet she host big group of people during peak season.
Her tour was packed with interesting history of Romania’s communism era. Her friends shared their own family histories during those times which was so intriguing and appreciated.
I highly recommend her tour.

Cristina was a phenomenal guide as she shared very different generational stories from her life, her parents and her grandparents all with diverse perspectives on the cultural and political history of Romania. This proved to be very enlightening to us as we struggled to comprehend both the benefits and costs of communism, especially with our western ideals. We left the tour with all of our questions answered and such a greater understanding of the history of Romania along with a desire to learn more. To add, her English was excellent and her warm and inclusive demeanor made for a very pleasant afternoon for us and the others in our group. If she is not your top rated guide, then she surely should be.
Thank you Cristina.

Cristina was an excellent tour guide with an amazing breadth and depth of knowledge about the subject. If you’re in Bucharest and want to know more about the history of the country, city and communism - delivered in a friendly professional manner (and with room for humour). We can’t recommend this tour highly enough.

Our Tour Guide Andreea was great and extremely knowledgable. Tour was worth every penny. Very insightful. Added with her personal experience growing up under communism, and the events that occurred in Romania, you will think twice about the socialism bringing equity narrative.

This tour was the highlight of my two week/four country European vacation! Cristina was an AMAZING guide and brought history to life during the tour. We heard her first-hand account of life under communism, heard about Ceausescu's 24 year reign as President, visited a number of historic buildings and sites, saw actual bullet holes in buildings, and visited Revolution Square, where communism came to a bloody end. I cannot recommend Cristina and this tour enough if you want to experience first-hand Life Under Communism in Romania.
