After 2 weeks in various parts of the former Yugoslavia and Bulgaria and Romania, I had learned much about the communist regime. This gave me some great insight. Great guide.

Anyone interested in learning about what it was like to live in Romania under Communist rule MUST experience this tour. Our guide, Cristina, was excellent - articulate, well-educated and knowledgeable and with a lovely personality. The history of this country, unknown to much of the world, is eye-opening. We highly recommend this tour!
