Beside the Palace of the Parliament, the attractions visited include the Revolution and the 21st of December Squares plus other emblematic an surprising places for the communist past of Bucharest.

The full tour takes roughly around 8 hours, but shorter options can be aranged as well as more in-depth ones. The tour is led by a certified quide, a Tourism and Political Science graduate, fluent in English, French and Spanish.
