Really interesting and fun. To learn of the Communist occupation from someone who lived it was very moving. From the architecture to philosophy…all in all quite the experience. An easy 5 star tour….

The bike tour was fantastic taking us to many of the interesting sights around Bucharest. Lucia, our guide, was really engaged giving us great insights and personal anecdotes about Bucharest and life here both under the communist regime, and as an independent republic. Being on bikes was great to get around to cover more ground. We had lots of short stops, and a longer one by the river which was beautiful.
