Great experience with unique spots
We booked a tour with three friends, and had a great experience!
Zsofia had a selection of craft beer bars and shops planned for us, which we would’ve not found otherwise.
You learn a lot about Hungary, the history and development of the city, and of course, craft beer.
Highly recommend!

Nice tour!
We had a very nice time with Zsofia. We went to some bars we wouldn't have found ourselves. She also gave very good recommendations where to go and what to do. And also some fun and interesting tidbits about Budapest and Hungary.

Zsofia was an excellent guide and great company. We really enjoyed the conversation, also about Hungarian culture and daily life. She showed us crazy beer bars that we would never have found ourselves.

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.
