Memento Park Visit with Private Trabant Transfer

It's a little far to get to, especially from Pest. The park itself is small, but the experience is worth it, at least for me! There is an old radio at the entrance from which Soviet songs are playing. I want to come back here just for him!

Our guide was great. It was such an interesting tour. Very historical and a must do tour in Budapest.

Brilliant experience, being driven in ‘Peggy’ our little trabant was such fun, people were pointing and taking photos clearly pleased to see such an iconic car. Zoltán our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and explained the propaganda of the statues very clearly. We wouldn’t have got as much from our visit without him.

We loved this tour. We were picked up in the Trabants. Guide is a collector of Trabants and has lots of passion for her cars. The park is interesting and helpful to understand communist propaganda. The tour does go into some depth with information, which was perfect for my group, but might be too much for non-history people.

It’s not an elite sports car, but it turned more heads than any bazillion dollar auto!!! What a fun excursion. The car is so unique and cool, but the driver/guide Judy was also amazing. We truly enjoyed this experience so much. She was so informative and willing to share Hungarian knowledge and we truly felt that this was the best way to see memento Park and get an insight into some of Hungarian history. Really really enjoyed it and recommend highly.

We had an amazing tour (private) with Ildi. She is incredibly informative and brought the whole park to life. She explained the architecture, the official purposes of the statues, and some of the pushback against the propaganda by the Hungarian artists and people. We felt we received excellent value and highly recommend the private tour.

This was a highlight of our trip! Judit our guide was super personable, knowledgeable and a lot of fun. We learned so much about this era of Hungarian history and the ride in the Trabant was a once in a lifetime experience!! I couldn’t recommend this experience highly enough

My husband and I had a very interesting, enjoyable trip visit to Momento Park. The car ride was fun, and our tour guide was very friendly and informative, and gave us recommendations for lunch and dropped us off at our next sight after the tour. I would definitely recommend.

It took a while for me to get round to writing this review as it was back in June when we were there. We had pre booked our trip to Momento Park before leaving home as by doing so were were able to take advantage of the option to get there by Trabant, the ubiquitous East German Soviet era car which added greatly to the experience. Our guide and driver Judit met us at the hotel and drove us across town to the Momento Park in the Trabi which attracted a lot of attention. Without her guidance the park would have been just a collection of old soviet era sculptures but with her expert knowledge and first hand involvement with the recent history she was able to explain the subtleties of the art work that we would otherwise have missed. This included commentary on Hungarys place in the Soviet Union and its relationship with its big brother Russia and its revolutionary heroes and villains. The park is largely open and exposed but we were offered parasols for sun protection. There is a souvenir shop, coffee and toilets on site.

Would strongly recommend this way of visiting Memento Park. The combination of the car, the journey and the knowledge of Zoltan, our wonderful guide, made it a great learning experience. I never realised there were so many characteristics within the statues of the communist propaganda mythology. We came away with a real appreciation of the communist eras in Hungary, and thank you so much Zoltan for answering our questions and making it such a great morning. 😊👍
