It would've been nice if u told me in advance how much cash will b collected for tickets. It would've been nice if we got a receipt for the cash we paid for tickets. It would've been nice if tour was on time - I selected 930 when booked, I got confirmation for 10:00, then instruction to meet at 10:30 and the tour, what with all formalities, didn't start till 11:00. It would've been nice if a group was smaller - which was especially gent in Ceusesku mention. It would've been nice if we were allowed more free time in the Village museum, so that we can view houses and read about the houses that our guide didn't have time to show.

Gabriel was a fantastic guide! He was funny, knowledgeable, and very kind, and he accompanied us throughout the tour. It’s a shame that, since it was Monday, we couldn’t visit Ceaușescu’s house.

It's a well-organized tour, really worth it. You are guided step by step, and I can assure you that in this cold weather, it's no small thing to have a comfortable, warm bus waiting for you and taking you to the next stop, where you will be accompanied to see the wonderful parliament building. Yes, take this trip.
