Description
This tour is a classical Budapest sightseeing program following the route of the Hungarian "guerilla" artist, Michael Kolodko's mini statues. It's a perfect program for first-time visitors because many of the statues are near to main attractions, but at the same time, it's a special experience, as others are located in the local neighborhoods. This walking tour is a real treasure hunt; while you look for the art pieces on the streets, you can admire beautiful attractions like the Chain bridge, and listen to the stories that the artist wants to tell us through his statues. The perfect combination: a bit of a general, a bit of the hidden gems.

Mini statues adventure
It's a lot of walking! We logged about 10 miles, and it was so much fun. Emi was knowledgeable about the background of each statue...such a unique and interesting outing...she gave us information about the landmarks and history of the area as we walked. She was just the best historian!
Operator response
Dearest Judy, Thank you so much for sharing this great review about Emi and the tour! This is the best combination of something truly local and unique experience + the visit of the main attractions. I'm so happy you had a great time! :) Bests, Petra

Beautiful Budapest and Mini Statues
Our guide Eszter took us all around Budapest looking for these tiny art works. She peppered the search with history and tales about Budapest. She made a game out of finding the statues and describing the stories connected to each of them. We had a great time!!! I highly recommend this tour.
Operator response
Dear Sue Ann, Thank you for choosing us again for your Budapest experience, and moreover for your amazing review about Eszter's Kolodko tour! We hope we'll see you soon again! All the bests, Petra

SURPRISING
Plagued by history, incredible views; Art in every corner. The aristocracy is combined with the working people in a harmonious and subtle way, with the beauty of what was with the process of things to come. I'd definitely come back.

Plagada de historia y con vistas increíbles, Budapest ofrece arte en cada rincón. La ciudad combina de manera armoniosa y sutil la aristocracia con el espíritu del pueblo trabajador, uniendo la belleza de lo que fue con el proceso de lo que vendrá. Sin duda, un lugar al que volvería. ¡Esperamos que el resto de tu estancia en Budapest haya sido igualmente memorable!

Lucky not really known to the general public yet
What a discovery! Most miniature figurines are hidden in the vicinity of a landmark and there is a story associated with them. Not only for young children, also for "old adult" children.;-)
Operator response
Wat een leuke ontdekking! De meeste miniatuurbeeldjes zijn verstopt in de buurt van een bezienswaardigheid en hebben elk een eigen verhaal. Een plezier, niet alleen voor jonge kinderen, maar ook voor "oud-volwassen" kinderen. ;-) We hopen dat de rest van je verblijf in Boedapest ook geweldig was!

Fantastic fun
This is wonderful. Don't understand why it isn't advertised. There are lots of little sculptures tucked away around Budapest about a couple of inches in size. All with a great little story behind them. Designed by the famous sculpture Kolodko. The sculputers are fun and a wonderful way to explore the city at the same time.
Operator response
Hey there, Thank you for the 5 stars review, and I agree with you, this program should be a crowd's favorite, as it is a perfect combination of local urban stories and classic main attractions :) Bests, Petra

A "Little" slice of Budapest culture.
I found a little frog when in Szabadsag Ter and thought it was good and then found 3 more little statues along the Buda river bank. I found the worm, Rubiks cube and tank. I didn't realize that these were from Nihaly Kolodko, a famous sculpture. There are more of them through the city and would've liked more time to search for these. Take some time and search for these when you are there. Its a "Little" bit of culture and some childish fun.
