In December 1989 the communist Romania could be considered as a mental-hospital where the lunatics were running the asylum and the “internees” were punished for their sanity. How did we get to have one of the most symbolic dictatorship regimes in the modern history? What and who are to be blamed for this tragic condition? And not the last, how did courageous people stood-up and repudiated the evil leaders?   The Grand Tour of Communist Ages is trying to provide answers to these complex questions, and not only.

We are a group of artists on a Hip Hop arts cultural exchange program in Romania. We are from different regions in America and Dan’s tour was educational and relational. He was able to accommodate our short time with important points of interest: neighborhoods with communist style buildings, the communist consumer museum and the church where the revolution of 89 began. Fascinating history! Thank you Dan and Timisoara City Tours. This was a fantástic addition to our visit to the city.

Dan gave an impressive tour. We were a group about about 7 Americans here for an arts exchange program. I was so inspired by Dan’s passion and narrative of the revolution in 1989. I highly recommend this tour if you make your way to Timişoara

Unser Führer Dan hat sich viel Zeit genommen, uns einen authentischen Einblick in das Leben der Rumänen während des Kommunismus zu geben. Dadurch, dass er auch viele andere Touren in Timisoara durchführt, hat er zu jeder Frage eine fachkundige und unterhaltende Antwort. Es hat viel Spaß gemacht!
