A Retro Lifestyle Tour with Treats
Would you like to see what’s behind the curtains of those massive residential blocks that you can see from the windows of trains or your taxi? Experience how we lived our everyday lives during communist times, and understand why there is still some nostalgia among a large portion of the Hungarian population for the Kádár regime.
HIGHLIGHTS • Authentic retro café with unique atmosphere • Home visit to a prefab housing estate apartment • Lunch at a retro self-service restaurant • Communist times artifacts, products and household items • Gifts from our Communist Bazaar

This is the nearby local market hall where you can see not only the whole range of traditional Hungarian products, but talk to the vendors and taste whatever appeals to you.
After leaving the market the next challenge is to try a bowl of super GOULASH soup at the nearby Rákóczi restaurant, named after its owner, Gyuri. Our firm stand is that Real Hungarian Goulash is available at Gyuri’s.
Finally, dessert. Nothing is more amazing than a Hungarian dessert adored by foreigners: chestnut purée with cream. The best is available at the nearby Kristály Patisserie where we finish our gourmet tour with some chestnut purée or a cake of your choice, and a delicious cup of coffee.
You can choose to be picked up from a list of locations, or alternatively, have the choice to make your own way to the meeting points
We can arrange to meet you either at your Budapest hotel or port, or at a mutually agreed central location.
