    Although we did not actually do the river cruise because of high water levels, we were taken on excursions by coach.

    I think local tour guides should not completely negatively emphasise communist ruling times, since it sounds as they present much worse then fasism of war period. Socialistic period for those countries had also some positive features, as free education, etc. I know that from my experience since I lived in Soviet era.
