On the website all tours are offered in a foreign language but the guides are Romanian (in case you're worried that none of the tours are in RO). They are very strict with the rules (shoes protection, number of people, disinfection, etc). The guide we had was very knowledgable so feel free to ask questions about anything.One of the things that caught my attention is that with the exception of some floors made of Canadian wood and some Portugues tiles, almost everything else was manufactured in Romania.

The place is huge with complex artistic elements. The guide is patient and open and you are allowed to take photos. You get the experience to see how Ceausescu and his family lived day by day.
