• A tour perfect for mid 20th century history buffs

  Excellent tour for those who really want to immerse themselves in the communist history of Hungary. It does not treat the 1956 revolution in a vacuum. You get an understanding of the seeds sown back in the mid 1800s through the fall if communism in 1990. A lot of Budapest territory covered through public transportation starting in Buda. And ending in Corbin Sq. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and provided a lot of personal insights into what life was like before and after 1956. Highly recommend.

  Peter has a library of Budapest history in his mind and excels at making the topics easy to understand while offering in-depth coverage of Budapest's long history. We were visiting with our 91 year old father, who'd escaped from Hungary during the 1956 revolution. Peter slowed his pace to allow our father to keep up plus ensured the topics covered were those most relevant to him. He also took us to places that we hadn't heard about like the cemetary where we those killed during the 1956 revolution were buried.

  The in-depth information from our guide. Beside which, he was so personable and really drew us into the whole culture of the time. We felt we could have easily spent at least another day exploring the sites and discussing the outcomes.

  Such a helpful, inspiring tour! Barna was incredibly courteous and full of stories about his unique native country. I wanted to know about Budapest’s history in regards to the Cold War. Any question I asked about the USSR, he had an answer or a tale to tell. He showed me spots where the ‘56 Revolution went down. He explained what was happening and why. He provided me a variety of films to check out. Plenty of good restaurant options, as well! We started in Pest, walked across the bridge to Buda, took the metro back to Pest. I learned a lot and was overly intrigued! Thanks again!

  I enjoyed it very much. It was especially good to learn the dramatic events of that day, on the very day - now a national holiday, so the whole city was shut down for parades, flags were everywhere, and everyone was celebrating what you’re about to learn. Miklos Molnar is an experienced historian with the dry irony typical of the Hungarian view of their more than bumpy history. His catalogue of before-and-after photos was excellent if shocking. Interesting, smart, fun, recommended.

  Tour guide was very polite professional and Knowledgeable.
  Spent time explaining key areas and events in Hungarian History.
  However, The tour was too general, with not enough time or information devoted to the 1956 Revolution. the reason why we had booked this tour. we had studied the Revolution before and a lot of key areas where missed, even though we walked past them.
  With that, we did learn about other areas of Hungarian History and visited places we had not been Before.
  The tour guide did admit that this was the first time he had taken this tour.
