You will discover the story of the rise to power of the Romanian communist party and the unparalleled cult of personality of dictator Nicolae Ceausescu, standing in front of his iconic balcony. You will learn how Ceausescu’s craving for applause led to his overturn in the most violent anti-communist revolution of 1989.
You will go off the beaten path and take advantage of Bucharest's great public transportation to get to the Memorial Cemetery of the Heroes of 1989 and a unique Monument for the leaders of the communist party.
On a tour full of contrasts you will learn about day-to-day life during communism, the economy, the propaganda, the relationship with religion, the fear of the secret police.
You will also explore the Civic Center and the exterior of the Palace of Parliament and learn about the achievements of architects, but also the sacrifices for the local community, the demolitions during the 1980s.
You will finish the walk on Unirii Boulevard, near Parliament and old town.

5.00Fantastic time! My first morning in Romania I spent 3 hours walking with Elena, learning her nation’s history. We walked, took the subway & a public bus, seeing different parts of this great city, and learning its history along the way. By the time we parted ways, I had developed feelings for the this country. Its contemporary story felt real. My respect for its people grew. Walking and talking with a well versed guide like Elena was a gift. Feet on the ground was, for me, a step up from a ride-by experience. Thank you!!!

5.00Elena is an absolutely amazing guide. She personalized our tour to my research interests and I highly recommend booking with her for your time in Bucharest. She even added an extra couple of stops based off our conversations and sent an email with information to follow up on a few of the (many!) questions I had. She is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and intentional. I can not recommend her enough! Thank you for such a wonderful time Elena!

5.00Elena provided a relaxed and well informed tour of the many landmarks associated with Bucharest’s communist past and the revolution. Supplemented with historical photographs, Elena has very good knowledge of her country’s history and the places we visited. It didn’t feel rushed and we were free to ask anything we wanted. I’d highly recommend this tour if you want to know more about the recent history of Romania.
