Worthwhile

Published on Oct, 2024

Very interesting tour. Julia was a great guide and we appreciated her providing details of her own experiences, which made the difficult subject matter even more real.

Very interesting - lots of good info - our guide took us on the subway - to the Terror Museum Jewish area; thought it was all great!

Communism and Budapest

Published on Jul, 2020

One of the highlights of our trip to Hungary was this tour! It is always intriguing to view a city as how it was before. I personally gained new knowledge and maybe even more passion towards this subject, as I am already drawn to history. Sending our tour guide the warmest regards.
