Highly recommend the tour with Ivan. Learned a lot about history and how the cold war has impacted contemporary Hungarian history. Ivan has also shared comprehensive research and privately-held pictures from the 1956 uprising.

Outstanding experience in Budapest
This tour with Ivan far exceeded our expectations for learning about the untold cold war history of Budapest. We came away with a far deeper understanding of not only the uprising but the previously unknown American involvement in it. Ivan was an engaging and highly informative host whose passion for this subject and for his city was evident. Highly recommend this tour.

Fascinating Cold War stories
We had a really interesting trip with Ivan. He is very knowledgeable and has conducted extensive research into the history of Cold War espionage in Budapest. Our tour took in a number of easily overlooked but pivotal sites during the period from the end of WWII to the fall of communism in Europe. Our afternoon really couldn’t have been better. Thank you Ivan.

Highlight of our trip!! Unmissable
This is not just a tour for foreigners but every Hungarian should hear this story!! Ivan doesn't just know the story and the history of the Cold War period but what makes this tour so interesting is that he knows the stories of the individuals that made the history!! This is a fasinating trip and not just the best thing we did in Budapest but one of the best things I have done on any holiday!!

Custom made unique experience
Ivan listens to your wishes (in a group everyone expects something different) and builds a tailor made experience in the great city of Budapest to make it interesting for everyone. His knowledge about the subject seems bottomless and he is able to transfer this knowledge in an enjoyable way.
Budapest is easy to explore by yourself, but it's hard to experience the full potential without Ivan.

Ivan is a mine of information, full of interesting spy stories and anecdotes rhat you won't hear anywhere else. He's also very personable and charming and made the tour most interesting. I highly recommend taking his tour if you get the opportunity.
Thank you Ivan !
