The Grand Tour of Communist Ages at Timisoara
Tổng quát

Vé di động
In December 1989 the communist Romania could be considered as a mental-hospital where the lunatics were running the asylum and the “internees” were punished for their sanity. How did we get to have one of the most symbolic dictatorship regimes in the modern history? What and who are to be blamed for this tragic condition? And not the last, how did courageous people stood-up and repudiated the evil leaders? The Grand Tour of Communist Ages is trying to provide answers to these complex questions, and not only.

5.00I joined this tour so my daughter who grew up outside the country would learn about the environment I grew up in. It turns out I learned from the tour almost as many new things as she did since reality and history were distorted by the regime in my youth. I highly recommend it to any adolescent or adult.

5.00We were very lucky and again Dan Codre as tour guide. With his fine humor, his profound knowledge and the ability to inspire others, he gave us a big picture of the communist era in Romania. He covered a wide range of politics, everyday problems and people's lives during this period.

5.00We are a group of artists on a Hip Hop arts cultural exchange program in Romania. We are from different regions in America and Dan’s tour was educational and relational. He was able to accommodate our short time with important points of interest: neighborhoods with communist style buildings, the communist consumer museum and the church where the revolution of 89 began. Fascinating history! Thank you Dan and Timisoara City Tours. This was a fantástic addition to our visit to the city.

5.00Dan gave an impressive tour. We were a group about about 7 Americans here for an arts exchange program. I was so inspired by Dan’s passion and narrative of the revolution in 1989. I highly recommend this tour if you make your way to Timişoara

5.00Our guide Dan took a lot of time to give us an authentic insight into the life of Romanians during communism. Since he also runs many other tours in Timisoara, he has an expert and entertaining answer to every question. It was a lot of fun!

5.00As an avid historian and someone who studied the 1989 revolutions, this tour was an absolute must! I cannot speak highly enough of the tour and our tour guide Dan, who brought everything to life with his passion and enthusiasm. The tour was made even more genuine given Dan's ability to reflect on his own childhood experiences, and to have such a personal tour was simply amazing. It was great to be able to visit the Communist suburb area where many workers' flats still exist and understand the differences between the architecture, as well as how these have transitioned post-1989. Dan answered all our questions and it was brilliant to be able to explore this living history together, complete with a trip to the Communist Consumers Museum which further demonstrated the starkness of that era. To be able to listen to the views of citizens living through those events by virtue of Dan's translating skills was something so unique to this tour, and it really made this tour more special than any other Communism tour in any other country that I have been. This tour is an absolute must do for anyone remotely interested in 1989, Communism or just how the world exists in the way it does today. It will also bring further places to explore afterwards, as the Communist Consumer Museum is well worth visiting again in its own right.

5.00Get ready to find out a great deal of stories, a lot of historical facts, cultural references and things you might not read in history books. Since he has documented this tour very well, Ludovic has many interesting things to tell you about communism and the Romanian revolution so you will definitely get an insider’s perspective on how it was, how it all happened.
