Augustin gave us a nuanced view of the complex history of communism in Romania. He has carefully researched the subject and we were enthralled with his historical narration. We thoroughly recommend this you. Try to book Augustine - you won’t be disappointed!

Daniela was a knowledgeable and engaging guide. By walking the city and visiting a selection of buildings we were given a great sense of post war life and the changes the country went through.
