Very interesting experience! We had a very nice and knowledgeable guide. Learnt a lot about the history of Romanian school and first books The guide was friendly and held the whole tour in English. However, we felt that the whole tour went on too quickly and the guide was very rushed, moving from subject to subject almost immediately and without leaving any time for questions

We just so happened to stumble on a tour that Ion was giving. He is extremely knowledgeable about Romanian history and events leading up to the establishment of the first Romanian school. Being an American born Romanian, it made me realize how little I knew of my ancestral country, but also motivated me to learn more and be proud of being Romanian. Ion is very engaging and presents very well. I will be coming back here with more of my family in the future! Highly recommend to anyone and everyone to come visit.
