Great Tour! We really enjoyed Stefan’s discussion and context throughout the tour. He gave great stories that helped understand life during communism in Romania.

Stefan provided an intimate insight into the communist period and openly answered every curiosity we threw at him Would absolutely recommend him for anyone wanting to learn the history of that time

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.

Very interesting tour. We were a small group, so it was possible to ask a lot and interact we the top informed guides.

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.

Amazing visit with Cristina who gave us a very objective and compelling view of the life under communism, its consequences today and the way it is lived now by romanians. I’ll come back for sure with other family members!

We did the tour with Cristina Ene as a guide. She is very nice and speaks very good English. The tour is well designed and there is a lot of very pertinent and interesting information about life in communist Romania.

We were only two people on the tour, so we got a very personal tour with our great guide, Cristina. She was very knowledgeable, friendly and a great storyteller. As she pointed out at the beginning of the tour, this tour is neither bashing nor praising communism - it provides nuance and aims to present the facts as accurate as possible. Cristina took time to answer every question we had - whether it was about communism, Romanian culture, restaurant recommendations, etc. Big recommendation!

Tour was very interesting with local guide Cristina who was very knowledgeable on history of Romania's communist past. She was extremely interactive with the group, and did a great job with presenting the realities of communism - the good, the bad, and the ugly. I came out of the tour with a greater understanding of this complicated period. As a Westerner, it helped me put communism, specifically Romania's, but in general, the cold war's differences into a less pre-conceived and biased perspective. The tour focused on post WW2 until about 1990. Fantastic for those who love the history of places that they visit.

I find tours helpful in understanding a country whilst trying to compress centuries of history into a few days. Definitely helped in appreciating Bucharest sites and people whilst visiting. Cristina did a great job impartiality providing the background with her anecdotes. Thank you.

A very relaxed walk around the important spots of Bucharest, to get to learn more about the communist era of the country. It put a lot of things into perspective for us foreigners. Our guide, Cristina, was very knowledgeable and could answer our questions about the past dictator’s access to power, and how people were treated in those days. We loved our visit, and we learned a lot. Thanks Cristina for that great afternoon.

Emmy tour was able to explore rainy Bucharest! While we weren’t able to walk and see all the sites as part of the itinerary, Christina was able to make the tour worth it anyway. I learned a lot! I know that because I was able to explain things to several family members and friends later. That’s the sign of a good teacher! Tour was worth it!

Cristina was an awesome guide! She is a wonderful storyteller and her enthusiasm on the topic was evident. Even though it rained part of the way through our tour, she was able to keep the whole group entertained. The information she chose to share about was captivating and held the group's attention for the duration of the tour. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, Cristina!
