Excellent presentation, disappointing dinner

3.00This was an enjoyable evening, very well presented by Ali, who certainly knew her subject. We spent an hour or so looking at / discussing the Communism exhibition and were then treated to the meal which, though a proper representation of Romanian food, was a little disappointing. There was no substantial 'main course', which rather failed to meet the advertised description of an evening dinner. A pleasant evening, but not quite the dinner event I was expecting.
Great Experience

5.00Everyone who goes to Bucharest should do this experience. There were only six of us on the tour. It was perfectly paced. The "host" took us on about a 30 minute overview tour of the museum and then we had about 30 minutes to explore on our own. This was the perfect amount of time. Then, the dinner happened which was the highlight. Not only was the food good (and plentiful) but the conversation with the host and the other participants was really insightful. I came away feeling like I really understood what it was like living in Romania during the Communist period. Better yet - they are moving to a larger museum because they have more historical items to display.
A must do in Bucharest.

5.00We found this evening to be very educational. The museum was great but the best part was time speaking with our great guide during the dinner period. Her knowledge about communism included family experiences. The dinner was excellent in that it was platters of multiple different selections for each course. Many choices and all very tasty. This tour is recommended to anyone wanting to learn about communism and life/food in Romania.

5.00This was amazing. I purchased this for my husband’s birthday. He & I love to learn about the history of the different places where we travel to. Romania has such an interesting and varied history. Catalina was our host and tour guide. Her knowledge brought all the exhibits to life. We learned so much and in the very best way, with personal stories as well as a wealth of knowledge she shared with us. There were no questions that weren’t answered. The food and drinks after the tour just tied everything together. A shout out to Luca for providing us with a great sampling of Romanian cuisine. They even gave my husband a birthday gift which was very special. The museum exhibits are powerful.
Not to be missed!

5.00Very interesting, very engaging guide who was very entertaining and knew a lot about the modern history of her country. Highly recommended, if you want to know more about Romania under dictatorial communism.
An unforgettable experience

5.00This was one the best experiences we've booked anywhere We ended up being the only people on the tour that night, and had a very interesting tour with Katerina as our guide, who did a great job of explaining all the items and the history behind them We then had an amazing dinner, which was much more than we expected. Traditional starters and mains, with delicious homemade style desserts Katerina explained each food and taught us more about traditional foods and customs like Christmas meals Katerina taught us more during the dinner, everything from Romainan wines to Vlad the Impaler and the Ottomans She's one of the most knowledgeable people ever and I think you could ask her absolutely anything, and she'd be able to tell you. I'd love to visit the museum everyday and hear more from her! An unforgettable experience overall

5.00This was a great experience. Our guide Alexandra took us on a journey back in time making the communist era of Romania truly come to life. The museum was set out like someone’s home during the years of Communism with lots of exhibits on display, giving us a real feel for how life was like. The best part of the tour was when we sat down in the living room where we were served a three course meal, typical of what people would have had in România during communist times. Alexandra joined us in the meal and was explaining all about the food and the traditions. So together with another couple who were also doing the your, the evening felt very much like enjoying a meal with friends in a relaxed homely setting. During the meal we were also served palinca (the traditional Romanian fruit brandy) and Romanian red wine. All in all it was a great experience which I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Bucharest and who is interested in experiencing what life was like during a very important time in Romanian and Eastern European history.
