Unveil Bucharest and the marks left behind by the Communist Era: massive structures and unhealed scars. Go back in time and enjoy a private walking tour of Bucharest, a story that takes you through 45 years of Communism and allows you to see beyond the city's colorful present. You'll get to see the contrasts between the beautifully restored Old Town with its 19th century Belle Époque perfume and the grey, massive former Communist Civic Center. Along the way you'll walk by the Romanian Athenaeum, Revolution Square, University Square and Old Town. The tour's grand finale is in front of the Palace of Parliament, the world's 2nd largest building after the Pentagon. To top it off, during this private communist tour we’ll bring along old photos: see how the streets used to look, how people dressed up, worked and lived. Speaking of life, how was it behind Stalin’s iron curtain? It wasn’t black or white. Not even grey. Just red. Communist red…
