“If you are at all interested in history and the transition a city/country made from a totalitarian regime to a democratic one, you will thoroughly enjoy this tour. Our guide, Branno was very knowledgeable, passionate and entertaining. He picked us up in a Soviet era car and proceeded to drive us to key locations from that period. He had a photo book that showed us major events that happened at the various places we visited. And he even brought snacks. Great value for the money”
