Overview

Our Communist History Tour - is a tip based walking tour of Budapest, it is perfect for those which want a short stroll though the city in the evening rather than a long hike.

You will learn about the unique form of Goulash communism, and see the locations of major street fighting in the 1956 uprising. Understand how Communism divided Hungarian society and how it impacted upon every fabric of that society. Learn about its impact on the church, education, health care, food and daily life under communist rule.

Unlike other walking tour companies, we keep our groups small to below 15 people to allow for a more intimate experience.

There is a token booking fee for this tour, instead, you can our guides as little or as much as you like, depending on how great a tour you experienced.

We are an independent tour company which uses historians and qualified guides.
