This was a wonderful tour with so much information about the history of Budapest and Hungary. The beautiful buildings all around hint at that rich history, but Karoly really brings it to life in a way that helps visitors to understand what the people of Hungary suffered under a communist government before the Revolution in 1956.
Everything about the tour was interesting and Karoly answered so many questions. Highly recommended!

A glimpse of life in a communist system.
Amazing to talk with someone who lived through the transition from communist to a capitalist society. Great stories to listen

Super Interesting
I did this as a private tour. I was pleasantly surprised that the price for taking it privately was not ridiculously higher than if I joined an existing group as a single person. The tour was fascinating. Ferenc, the guide, was knowledgeable and really open to answering my questions and discussing the complex political issues that are raised through a tour like this. He also enriched the tour by giving me multiple perspectives on the issues, sometimes the perspectives of the different generations of his own family.
The tour operator is a great little company that offers a highly personalised level of service. I booked four of their tours while I was in Budapest and was very glad I chose this company

Excellent tour - highly recommend
Booked this tour for myself and my husband. It ended up just the two of us with the lovely Ferenc. We had a lovely walk around various areas of Budapest and learned a lot more around the history and political landscape of Hungary. Truly made our weekend break.

Historical tour in Budapest
Grand! I love learning about history, especially that of the countries I visit. Our tour guide was a darling, a very smart and professional one too! I did not know quite many things about Hungary which now all made sense as we saw the city.

Red Star tour
My brother and I booked this tour and we had a great time. It was quite the walk but the tour guide made time pass by with much grace. The guide was very good and answered all our questions. Very nice tour!

Unforgettable!
My brother recommended this tour since he had done it before. I would say that I learned a lot and the tour was well-planned. The tour guide really knows a lot and I only wished I knew that much too. Really impressive! I highly recommend this tour as well.

Worth It!
We booked Born Under The Red Star with Viator. Our Hungarian local guide was very professional and extremely knowledgeable. It was a 3 hr tour and there’s a bit of walking involved but she kept us interested the entire time. We learned quite a bit about history of Budapest/Hungary. Our tour guide took us to retro bar for drinks midway and showed us restaurants with authentic Hungarian food. We highly recommend this tour for those interested in history!!!
