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 thoroughly enjoyed our 3 hour walking tour with Tiberiu. It was easy to message him beforehand and arrange our meeting place. Tiberiu met us on time, with a chimney cake for us to share! He gave us options of where to go and what to see. He pitched the tour just right, plenty of information but not overwhelming. He answered all our questions. He also gave great recommendations for places to eat, have coffee etc. We would certainly recommend this walking tour.
We had a wonderful experience with Emoke, who took the time to cater this trip to our needs while traveling with our young daughter. She was patient, kind, fun, and her knowledge and passion for her country is incredible! We wouldn’t hesitate to book another tour with Emoke!
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.
