Recensioni degli ospiti sui nostri tour e sui nostri locali
"Our walking tour of Budapest with Ivan was nothing short of excellent. He was engaging, informative, knowledgeable, and eager to answer our questions, of which we had many. We did not feel rushed and felt that the tour was everything we were looking for as an introduction to the city. Ivan made great recommendations not only about Budapest but the surrounding areas as well. We would very highly recommend WithLocals and specifically Ivan if you’re looking for an informative walking tour about the history of Budapest. "
"It was fun and super interesting to go on this tour with Ivan. We learned so many new things with a feel of proximity with the events of 1956 and the era of the USSR occupation. He’s been very open and answered all our questions very freely. He even toon us to an authentic cafe of the USSR times and offered us a book from a Hungarian poet. Thank you from the whole family ! This tour was definitely the highlight of your trip. "
"Ivan was an incredibly knowledgeable and interesting guide. His insight and attention to detail was fascinating and he seemed really happy to adapt the tour to our questions and interests. It felt more like a thought provoking conversation than a tour. If you want an experience that goes beyond the usual, and makes you think about Budapest, and twentieth century history, in a new light, this is the one for you. "

Budapest was the epicenter of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, a brave city-wide uprising against Soviet domination. Discover buildings still scarred by bullet holes and hear stories of heroic resistance.
What happened to the giant statues of Lenin and Marx? They're at Memento Park! This unique open-air museum showcases the monumental propaganda of the Cold War era, a surreal and fascinating cultural trip.
Imre Nagy, Prime Minister during the 1956 Revolution, became a symbol of Hungarian independence. His story is a poignant chapter of the Cold War in Budapest, ending in a secret trial and execution.
During the Cold War, simple pleasures were cherished. Taste a piece of the past with a classic 'lángos' (fried dough with toppings) or a retro 'Traubisoda', flavors that evoke nostalgia in Budapest.
This building served as headquarters for both the Nazi and Communist secret police. Now a museum, the House of Terror is a chilling memorial to the victims of 20th-century totalitarian regimes in Hungary.

"Ivan was the best part of our trip to Budapest. Really interesting and he gave us insights to the Cold War which you can’t read in a book. Highly recommend this experience."
"We really enjoyed our tour with Ivan! He was extremely knowledgeable about Hungarian history during the Cold War. We were excited to talk about spies and the impact of spies during the Cold War, which we did, I just wish we did more of it. Furthermore, Ivan is obviously very passionate about his own personal research about the Cold War in Budapest, which was great to hear about, but at times this took away from the purpose of the tour. If anything, I would recommend this tour to extreme history buffs. All in all, Ivan was a great guy with an interesting story that gave us a unique view of Budapest."
"My tour of Budapest with Ivan was the intellectual highlight of my two weeks in Central Europe. He was cordial, entertaining, smart and informative. The sights within the city were definitely among the hidden treasures, and as we stood on the Danube and looked at the former American Residence, others walked by not knowing the significance of that building, or observant of the still evident damage from Soviet tanks. Ivan customized my tour to include Memento Park (well outside the city) and it exceeded my expectations. The remnants of the communist era are erie and evocative. I highly recommend Ivan. He is extremely knowledge and admirably articulate: The Perfect Teacher!"
"Ivan was a spectacular guide! We particularly enjoyed his great ability to balance friendly conversation with interesting and some little known facts about Hungarian history. Ivan has done extensive research, and he has tracked down some very interesting individuals as part of his research. Because of this, he had a unique perspective, which we really appreciated. We booked Ivan’s tour on our first day in Budapest, and I’m so glad we did, because as we were able to think about everything we learned from Ivan as we explored the city. I’d recommend Ivan’s tour to anyone visiting Budapest with an interest in learning about Hungary’s fascinating history. Thanks Ivan for a wonderful experience! "
"This tour with Ivan far exceeded our expectations for learning about the untold cold war history of Budapest. We came away with a far deeper understanding of not only the uprising but the previously unknown American involvement in it. Ivan was an engaging and highly informative host whose passion for this subject and for his city was evident. Highly recommend this tour."
"What a pleasure to tour the Budapest espionage hot spots with knowledgeable and personable Ivan ! This tour is part sightseeing, part walking ,part history and a whole heap of espionage. We enjoyed learning about the history and looking at Ivan's personal archives over a short beer break near the American Embassy. Fascinating stories! Even better we managed to squeeze out great Budapest food and ice cream recommendations"
"Ivan is an astute and engaging host that weaves in historical facts and primary sources to enhance one’s experience and understanding of mid 20th century Hungary. As a gracious and friendly host, he’s keen to answer questions and it’s clear that he has put much thought and care into curating and refining an interesting, engaging tour. "
