Iron Curtain Revealed: Communism's Untold Human Stories

Christina was just a joy as a guide. Not only does she know the city like the back of her hand and the history of Romania, but she had so many personal and differing perspectives to share about various events. It was invaluable time spent together. We spent more time together than our allotted time just due to good conversations. I would highly recommend her to anyone coming to Bucharest. And Bart lost out on her great potential! She is a gem!!!

Cristina is a wonderful guide. She took me all over the city giving me facts and details about life back then but also her own experiences of it. She and all my questions and by the end know so much about the history from a personal point of view, something no history book can give you.

Christina was so great as a guide. She was knowledgeable and charming with stories that were enlightening and personal. Seeing the locations along with personal touches made it so much more enjoyable. I forgot how recently România emerged from communism.

Christina was our guide. She was great, really knowledgeable and fantastic English speaker. She was happy to answer additional questions and was very knowledgeable on the subject.

Shout out to our guide Christina. Despite heavy traffic in Bucharest, she was more than accommodating with our slower pace and the slower pace of my father. There are so many little communist buildings in random areas that you’d miss. I really enjoyed seeing the Securitate office (now a random building in a run-down area) and the old communist food line! I loved the communist snack she gave me! If you’re in Bucharest and love history, please take this tour. Kind regards, Alex

Explaining and showing the impact communism had on the people and the country. Our guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating

I learned a lot about communism. My Romanian friends are very impressed when I correct them now. Thank you.

Cristina was super informative, if she was my history teacher I’d probably like history earlier. The way she was expressing the history make you feel that you are on that moment. Much appreciated Cristina.

Cristina was a phenomenal tour guide! This tour took us through the city, discussing Romania pre-WW2, the factors that contributed to the shift towards socialism, the slide into communism, and the 1989 revolution. Cristina interspersed the facts with fascinating stories from her own family, making the saga relatable and digestible. She also provided a number of recommendations for other activities in the city. Highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning more about Romania in the 20th century. Thank you, Cristina; this was the highlight of our time in Bucharest!!

We had a great time with Cristina! The tour was very informative and entertaining. We had a great time!! If you are ever in Bucharest we 100% recommend this tour! Thank You Cristina!!
