Our guide Marius was superb! We thoroughly enjoyed learning about the Romanian communist period from someone as knowledgeable as Marius. He was also a very pleasant and enjoyable person. We highly recommend this tour.

The guide was great but the title does not match what this was- it was a tour on the communism time period in Romania.
We learned a lot, but it was not an “investigation”.
