5.00My husband and I had a very interesting, enjoyable trip visit to Momento Park. The car ride was fun, and our tour guide was very friendly and informative, and gave us recommendations for lunch and dropped us off at our next sight after the tour. I would definitely recommend.
Terrific experience, learned so much 👍

5.00Would strongly recommend this way of visiting Memento Park. The combination of the car, the journey and the knowledge of Zoltan, our wonderful guide, made it a great learning experience. I never realised there were so many characteristics within the statues of the communist propaganda mythology. We came away with a real appreciation of the communist eras in Hungary, and thank you so much Zoltan for answering our questions and making it such a great morning. 😊👍
Unforgettable and memorable tour with Balazs

5.00This tour is an absolute must when visiting Budapest. We were picked up from our hotel in a 1978 Communist-era Trabant. We arrived at Memento Park where our guide Balazs gave us a tour and gave us thorough explanations of many of the statues that were on display. Balazs was extremely engaging, and we were very lucky to have him as our guide. This tour was unique, memorable, and was one of the highlights of our visit to Budapest. Highly recommend!
A Rattling (!) Good Tour and Historical Interest

5.00Fascinating on a whole range of levels and topics. There was of course all the history and politics…but by taking the Trabant tour not only did you have the convenience of door-to-door service and the fun of riding IN a legit piece of history BUT you also get to chat to your driver/guide all the time about life, society and anything else you like. Such a good tour
On Route to Memento Park in a Vintage Trabant

5.00A trip to Budapest would not be complete without a visit to Memento Park. This park is an open-air museum located outside of the main city, dedicated to monumental statues and sculpted plaques from Hungary's Communist period (after WWII to –1989). Our goal was to learn more of that period in Hungary's history. We could have tried to navigate getting there by the Metro and then a bus, but decided to treat ourselves to a guided tour and a ride in a vintage Trabant. What an amazing treat and experience it was! We were so fortunate to have Judit Holp as our most knowledgeable guide and driver in her personal Trabant. She picked us up where we were staying, and I reached out to her prior to see if it would be possible to get dropped off elsewhere. Our time in Budapest was limited and she graciously dropped us off right in the Castle Hill area close to Matthias Church. She even recommended a restaurant for lunch, and we were glad we took her suggestion. We enjoyed a wonderful authentic Hungarian meal at Fekete Hollo (Black Raven Inn). Here at home in Ontario we having been trying to erase history by removing statues of Prime Ministers and monarchs, renaming schools and streets. History can't and shouldn't be erased. The goal is to learn from it and when it is negative don't let it repeat. We could use a museum like Memento Park.
You must visit this one-of-a-kind museum and ride in a 50-year-old Trabant!

5.00Judit Holp was our guide. She is fantastic. She is funny, knowledgeable and knows how to drive a Trabant. One of the best experiences on our Gate 1 trip to Budapest, Vienna and Prague. This is the only museum in Central Europe that displays Communist statues - there are 41 of them. Other countries destroyed their statues after gaining independence from Russia. The park is 30 minutes out of town. People stared and waved as we passed by in the Trabant. We felt like rock stars. The tour lasted several hours. We learned from Judit about life under Communism and the historical significance of each statue. She was never boring! This is a photographer's paradise! There is a small museum and a small gift show.
Do not miss this one-of-a-kind museum and do ride in the Tradant!

5.00Judit Holp was a fantastic guide. She is fun and extremely knowledgeable, plus she knows how to drive the 50-year-old Tradant - people stared and waved as we drove in the Tradant to the museum located 30 minutes outside the town. We felt like rock stars. We learned so much about Communism in Hungary while taking photos of the 41 very different Communist statues. This is the only museum in Central Europe that preserved the Communist statues after gaining independence from Russia. There is a small shop where you can buy water, soda and Communist souvenirs. There is also a small museum.
Great way to see Prague and the park
