Iron Curtain Unveiled: Communism's Untold Legacy

Took the tour with Daniela. She was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of interesting context to each of our stops. Highly recommended!

An amazing tour! Even with the windy and snowy weather, we all enjoyed the tour. Andreea was a great tour guide. Providing great details, and adding personal stories to bring communisim in Romania (and specifially Bucharest) to life. The three hours few by! 17 yr old student enjoyed the tour as well. So it's for all ages! I would highly recommend this tour. I would show up a little earlier to the meeting place to have the opportunity to visit the Patriachy Church. It is beautiful!!

Very enjoyable tour with Andreea who gives insights into life under communism and all its aftermath for the Romanian society. Highly recommended for history fans!

Our hostess Andreea was a wonder; she was sensationally knowledgable! The tour included informative context from her own personal experience growing up in Bucharest. I highly recommend for anyone visiting from a different country! I learned so much more than I expected. There were only two couples on the tour so was very personalised with a quiet, winter atmosphere. The tour duration was approximately 3 hours and cost around £25. The snack was the cherry on top of the tour. The level of detail Andreea transcribed was beyond my imagination!

Interesting, insightful and thoughful from start to finish. Enjoyed every part of the tour with a friendly knowledgeable tour guide. 3 hours long although felt like an hour as loads of interesting facts all the way around. Highly recommend.

I had a great experience with Octavian ! The tour was super insightful and covered effectively the communist era of Romania. Octavian was nice, engaged and pleasant to listen to, I’d definitely recommend the tour !

We had a great 3+ hour tour with our guide, Oktavian. Even though it was freezing cold and rainy, we enjoyed every minute as everything was so interesting. Oktavian shared real stories and insights into Romanian politics and history, which are recent enough that we actually remember hearing about much of it growing up. My husband loves history, and Oktavian filled in several knowledge gaps with lesser-known facts and details that came from Oktavian's thorough research. As a result, my husband said that the true stories aren't always found in the books. Oktavian also shared personal memories from the tougher years of communist Romania, including rationing, which made the experience resonate even more. We stopped halfway at a coffee shop to get warm, and re-energize, which was a very welcome break! Oktavian is a very friendly and knowledgeable guide, and always made sure we were comfortable and following along. All in all, we learned a lot and truly enjoyed the tour!

Very interesting lots of facts very informative learnt a lot of things I didn’t know before and how things have changed

Thank you Octavian for an extremely informative tour. There is a lot of history and information but Octavian did a really great job to summarise it and encouraged asking questions.

My partner and I really enjoyed this tour. We had no knowledge of the history of the Romanian revolution or the years leading up to it. However, our guide, Andreea did an amazing job at contextualising this huge subject within the 3 hours. She was friendly and answered all of our questions and also gave us plenty of recommendations for other great Bucharest activities. Highly recommended this tour! Thanks Andreea!
