Overview

Who would have said that a boy with only elementary school would become such a controversial communist dictator? Was he a genius or just an egocentric man? Join us and hear the untold stories.

Embark on a communist journey and you will:
• Discover the secrets of the heaviest building in the world!
• Be revealed hidden, genuine, funny stories.
• Taste some bites of communist food. Will you like it or not? Have a taste and you’ll find out!

On our itinerary, we will stop at the main communist tourist attractions or places like: Palace of Parliament, Revolution square, headquarter of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, the Memorial of Rebirth, University square, Ceaușescu’s house, but also to others that will be a total surprise.

A stop in front of the Palace of Parliament (the megalomaniac project of the great leader Nicolae Ceausescu) is a must for a communist tour in Bucharest.
