I can only say that this tour is a MUST if you wish to "relive" a bit the real last day of Ceausescu. You learn and hear so many interesting details. Serbans team of guides is just great, the drive in the Dacia is much more comfortable than you may think, free water is offered, toilet and lunch breaks are made. It is a happening, I will never forget this experience and will book another tour at my next visit at Bucharest for sure. Thanks and best regards from Germany! Jens

Me and my fiancée are traveling Eastern Europe and this tour was one of the highlight of the tour so far! It was great getting to hear the incredible story of communist Romania and all the history behind the landmarks we saw. The car was also really cool and an amazing experience driving around in one, a real privilege. Our guide, Serban, was also so nice and accommodating, he gave information relevant to our interest and explained everything really well in a personal and professional manner. He also helped us out with booking a separate trip that we wanted to do, that was really above and beyond for him to do. We had an amazing time and if you are ever considering going to Bucharest then a tour with the RedPatrol is a must!
