What you can expect

Enjoy a highly personal walking tour of Budapest through the perspective of the Communist era, and get an insight into what life was like in Hungary before 1989 and the declaration of the 3rd Hungarian Republic.

The 2-hour tour provides an interesting first-hand account of life pre- and post Iron Curtain, and will help you understand the local way of living as you see the city from a resident’s viewpoint. During the tour, you will visit sights, such as Liberty Square, the Parliament buildings, Ronald Reagan Statue, Central Bank, the former Stock Exchange, former Stalin Square, St. Stephen's Basilica, and more.
Hear fascinating stories about life behind the Iron Curtain and how it compares with Hungary's post-communist era. After you have explored the city’s communist locations, end with an interactive look at mementos from the guide’s own childhood.
