Communism in Bucharest and Beyond - Life in "Golden Age", Walking tour

From the start, Andreea's communications were timely and informative. She happily worked with us to create a personalized tour, based on our interests and timing. A few days before our tour, she made sure we had all of the information we needed and could easily get a hold of her if needed. She arrived exactly as planned and we began what became a highlight of our week in Romania! My son and I had already spent several days driving through rural Transylvania, learning about the area's rich medieval history. Then on our last full day in Romania, Andreea taught us about her country's contemporary political history, from before communism (thru jarring personal stories of her grandmother's life) during communism (through her own eyes as a child) and post-communism (Andree's personal experience as an adult woman living in Romania.) Through these stories, landmarks, pictures, and discussions, our exploration of Romania came together in a very satisfying, enriching and contemplative close. I would *highly* recommend Andreea as your tour guide in Bucharest!

Andreea is a superb guide. She is knowledgeable, adds an aura of suspense, and knows the history of the place having lived there both before and after revolution. So she can speak with authenticity and accuracy. I came out even better informed after the tour. Five stars!

What was it like to live in Romania under Communism? Spend 3 hours with Andreea and you will find out what daily life was like - the rationing, the lack of food to buy, the inability to make decisions on your life. Reminded me how blessed I am to live in a country where I am free. Andreea was organized and kept things moving as we traveled by foot throughout the city. She thoughtfully brought her IPad and showed pictures that provided a visual of who and what was happening during the 80's. We even got to enjoy a Communist "cookie." This tour should be a part of everyone's trip to Bucharest so you can understand what the Romanians went through during this tough time. Andreea is passionate about her subject matter, is approachable and a remarkable story teller. The topic is disturbing but we must be educated about the impact of Communism on ordinary people whose lives are dictated by someone else. Thank you Andreea for your flexibility in meeting with us.

Andreea is simply fantastic - if you want a fascinating and factual insight into Romania - from 1900 through to today - you won’t get better then her… 3 hours well spent…. Thank you Peter & Sally

Andreea is a wonderful tour guide full of fascinating information about her country. Our family of 6 thoroughly enjoyed her tour & highly recommend Andreea! She has a lovely personality & accommodated all of us from our 70’s to 40’s to our pregnant daughter. Thank you Andreea for such a great tour!

Andreea was a great guide. This was my second tour with her and was just as impressed with her knowledge and skills for this tour also. Great guide absolutely recommend!
