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.
We had an unforgettable experience with Beata. Her knowledge of Hungary’s history, culture, and hidden gems was outstanding, and she brought every story to life with passion and charm. She was incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive, tailoring the tour perfectly to our interests. Her enthusiasm was contagious, and her recommendations for local food and activities were spot on. From the bustling streets of Budapest to the tranquil villages she made every moment special. If you want an insightful, engaging, and delightful guide, look no further. She truly made our trip to Hungary extraordinary! Highly recommended!
My husband and I both really enjoyed this experience. And my husband does not usually like tours or anything to do with tourist things as we come from a very touristy town ourselves. Zsofia showed us some really cool spots, told us some cool stuff, let my daughter paint her nails, helped us drag our daughter and her stroller on a pub crawl. Which isn’t for everyone but she didn’t seem to blink an eye. Was very appreciated as traveling with a young one is difficult sometimes but we still want to get in some fun for mom & dad. Highly recommend for beer lovers or even someone that wants to be shown a very cool night out in Budapest! Thanks Zsofia. in boca lupo!! Un bacio
If you are fortunate enough to engage Ivan for the Budapest Cold War Tour you will certainly be delighted. Our intention during our visit to Budapest was to develop a better understanding of the life of the average Budapest resident through the changes of WWII, Soviet occupation, the 1956 uprising and the subsequent 'cold war'. Our guide, Ivan, brought so many insights that can only be brought by a local. He customized our tour to include the topics we were most interested in. The city's monuments and buildings took on a greater meaning as we added history to each site. We left the tour feeling truly educated. Highly recommended for anyone who would like to be transported to the not so distant past of Budapest's darker history as well as Hungary's relationship to the modern world.
