Very interesting
The visit is definitely worth the price of the ticket. The English guide was not particularly good, we also took the audio guide which gave us some additional information. Seeing the residence thinking about the contrast with people's lives at that time is an important experience. To see

Caro Viaggiatore,
Grazie per aver condiviso la vostra esperienza alla residenza di Ceaușescu. È vero, visitare questo luogo e riflettere sul contrasto tra la vita lussuosa del leader e le difficoltà quotidiane della popolazione è un momento di grande impatto. Siamo felici che abbiate trovato la visita interessante e speriamo di potervi accompagnare presto in altre scoperte della Romania.
Cordiali saluti,

There is more to be desired.
The guide seemed uninterested, not holding the group together. Disengaged. Would have loved to have seen the basement., it was told about the kitchen, cinema in the basement.
Operator response
Dear Traveler,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your visit to the Spring Palace didn’t fully meet your expectations.
We’d like to mention that the tour inside the palace is conducted by the official on-site guides, as the location is managed independently and not directly by us. While we’re not responsible for the guiding service there, we will certainly pass your comments along to the palace staff.
Additionally, some parts of the building—such as the basement and its cinema or kitchen—are restricted and not open to the public, which may explain why those areas were not included in the tour.
We hope to welcome you on another experience in Bucharest or beyond, where we can personally ensure a more engaging and memorable visit.
Warm regards,
