Communism in Hungary with a Historian
Experience the remnants of Communism in the capital of Hungary as they come alive during this tour through an expert historical commentary and family stories.
We are committed to tell the history of modern Hungary as objectively and factually as possible while we are happy to include our own personal opinion and personal life experiences.
The tour includes seeing parts of Buda and Pest as well as a drink at a cult café which opened in 1961 and hasn't changed much since.
