What a fun experience! My tour guide was an amazing storyteller and provided an informative tour with stimulating discussion. Everywhere you go you’ll see Romanians smiling when they see your classic Dacia, as they also are taken back in time. I enjoyed the tour so much I booked it again for my family when they visited Bucharest. Well worth it!

Very cool way of spending your day. You will learn a lot about history of Romania and specifically Bucharest as well as hearing many stories from a communist era of the country. Mihai was an excellent host and very knowledgeable guy with great passion for his Dacia. If you're someone who enjoys cars on a nerdy level like me you'll feel at home with Mihai. If I'm ever back in Bucharest I'll definitely be in touch!

We started our first day in Bucharest by doing the 3,5 hours Communist Tour with Red Patrol, and thus had the best introduction to the city, and the history of Romania altogether.
We were a group of 7 old friends in our mid 30’s and went with three of Red Patrol’s beautiful and cool old Dacias, each with a private chauffeur who took turns on guiding and introducing us to the city.
You make several stops and get to see a lot of things and places. Time went by easily, and the guides were very friendly and informative.
I would recommend this tour and this team to everyone.
Hope to see you and the cars again one day.
