We lived through Communist Hungary and give you a very balanced and detailed explanation of Hungarian Communism and post Communism with the pros and cons of life before and after Communism.
Get a personal and realistic insight into what life in Hungary was like after the Second World War, during Communism and what has happened since.
It helps to understand the local way of living, you do not only see the city from a tourist’s viewpoint. The walk starts with a historical summary and then we tell you the undercover stories. We also reveal interesting facts about traveling, housing, religious life, education, media, propaganda, sport, healthcare, religion, economy under Communism and we compare this with the post-Communist era as well. The tour provides a clear picture about what everybody over 40 years lived through and how it affects current attitudes of locals.
