In this 3-hour walking tour about communism, you'll discover the major landmarks and events of the communist period of history in Bucharest: the violent beginnings of the communist regime, the nationalization and forced demolition of thousands of houses, the Palace of the Parliament, the Ceausescu family and the anti-communist revolution of 1989.

The tour was an amazing experience. We started at the palace where it all began. From there Christina took us to different landmarks in the city, literally the biggest, like the parliament. And smaller ones like an easy to miss run down Alimentará, which is no less important to get a sense of what life was like under communism. In my week long Eastern Europe trip, this is my favourite. I would highly recommend this to anyone who loves history and culture.

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.
