After ordering our tickets online we were contacted by an individual that said my tickets would not be valid unless I got in touch with him. Without any validation from the official site, I assumed that he was trying to scam us. He was relentless in his contacting: calling, texting, What's App, etc. He insisted we needed a QR code in order to get access to the tour. That was not true and it is still not understood why he was attempting to be an intermediary to the process. When we finally met him he was cold and rude. He must have been getting a cut in the process.

Accuracy, reliability, expertise. Content-rich description perhaps a bit aseptic.

Your Experience

Once you reach the Ceausescu Mansion, you will meet your guide for the day. Skip the long lines outside and enter the building with your fast-track tickets. Follow your guide through Nicolae Ceausescu's private office, the chess room, and the bedrooms. Everything is kept in place so you will see closets lined with fur coats that once belonged to Elena Ceausescu, or the dictator's pyjamas folded and placed on his bed. Walk past the family dining room and relaxation table, and learn about how the dictator lived a lavish life back then.

Make your way to the greenhouse, where the recreated tropical climate allowed for exotic fruits like bananas and pineapples to grow. Fun fact: Ceausescu was a fan of exotic birds too, which is why the garden was populated by peacocks. Last but not the least, head over to the indoor pool, which is decorated entirely in blue mosaic and has themes which are reminiscent of those from Ancient Rome. See all of this glamor in one house that was far away from people's eyes. This was where a dictator's family was living a lavish life, as the rest of the population were starving.
