Fabulous and Warm tour of Bucharest and Romanian communist history - I had the great privilege of Serban as my host in September of 2023. This tour is comprehensive of key landmarks of Romanian Communist history, interwoven with the cultural and monarchist history prior to contemporary times. Serban brings to life the personal toll that Romanian families suffered, contrasted with their immense pride in raising their voices to determine their own political future. The landmarks are breathtaking and ironic juxtaposed against traveling in a Dacia "Dominica"; brings the whole experience to heart. Recommended to anyone who has an interest in history, architecture or culture. Bravo Red Patrol on very meaningful project! Thankyou Serban for a super experience.

worth every penny you spent on it. - Excellent experience worth every penny you spent on it.
Our superb guide, Catalin, drove us through the landmarks of the city's Communist era, but not only. You could feel his love to Bucharest as well as his knowledge of the city. He was able to explain the history in a very entertaining way, with a good mix of historic data and personal experience. But the most valuable thing was to be treated as "friend" more than just clients in a very authentic exchange sometimes difficult to find at an organised tour. Time flew by with Catalin and we got excellent vibe to start our tour through Romania.
Thanks so much to the Red Patrol team. Pls keep rolling!!

What an amazing tour with a fantastic tour guide ! - What an absolute amazing tour we loved every minute of it ! Our tour guide Catalin was fantastic his knowledge about the communist times was so good he told us so many stories and interesting things. He even took us to places that weren’t included in our tour and it lasted longer than it should. My husband was happy he got to drive the car too. We got some amazing photos of our wonderful tour and would highly recommend them to anyone visiting Bucharest!
