The guide was good and courteous but the tour was very bare, large rooms and corridors without history, none of the rooms sometimes seen in documentaries that talked about Ceausescu. It would have been nice to immerse yourself in a bit of history!

Good, the 2 guides in both Spanish, Carmen, and Romanian, are well-trained professionally, but as a suggestion, could you extend and make visits every day?!?! I want to come back with a group from Spain
