“I'm born and raised in Bucharest, but I took this walking tour for fun with an Argentinian friend. It was very interesting even for me, the guide was very nice and super well prepared with a lot of stories, but even with some real "artefacts" - old communist school books, the pupils' mandatory scarf (a real symbol of communism), photos of old vs new Bucharest, a photographic documentary of the Revolution etc. It was really interesting, and for me also very emotional (I was almost 10 in 1989 so I still remember those times). Highly recommended.”
