Eye-opening and highly recommended! - We had a wonderful trip together with our guide Daniel… you could tell he is extremely passionate about the topic and answered all our questions with expertise. We would definitely recommend this trip if you want to get a real understanding and a nuanced image of communism and its rise and fall in Roumania and what it has meant to the Romanian people… Eye-opening!

Daniel, the G.O.A.T - Daniel was a wonderful guide: passionate, funny, very knowledgeable about the past and present of his country. He went out of his way to show us photos and videos from the 80's and 90's, gave us many recommendations and was, in general, a very pleasant person. Thanks man, we enjoyed our time in Bucharest more because of you ✌️

He has a passion for it.. he was also very gracious and helped us when we were hit by a terrible storm in the middle of the tour. He helped us cover and protect ourselves from falling trees. Great guy

Super super interesting and engaging tour! - We had an absolutely amazing tour with Daniel and cannot recommend him enough. He was incredibly attentive to the needs of the group and always made sure everyone was engaged and enjoying the experience. What we especially loved was how interactive he made the tour. He showed us photos and videos of the historical events he talked about, which made everything so much more interesting and memorable. You can immediately tell that Daniel is truly passionate about what he does and his enthusiasm is contagious. We were genuinely impressed and would recommend every group to ask for Daniel. He is by far the best tour guide we have ever had!

Communism walking tour - Daniel took us with his knowledge on a Time Machine. A tour of 2 1/2 hours through the city that witnessed so much! Daniel is great! Vast knowledge of history. He’s polite, a pleasure to talk to and wise beyond his years. My husband and I liked the tour very much and recommend you take it

Brilliant! - It was a wonderful experience with Daniel! We walked for about 2.5 hours, I enjoyed the stories about the Leipzig street and the Securitate. I really think it’s important to remember about the past so we can recognise what’s happening now Brilliant tour!
