Reds in Budapest! Communism from a local's perspective
I am a Budapest-loving local and I want to share with you my enthusiasm for Budapest. Its special atmosphere that is a combination of history, the colorful culture, the people, and their love of our land. I studied art and history and have worked as a professional guide for years. Spending time with my grandmother, listening to her stories, learning to cook the the traditional recipes was a great inspiration for me. I'd love to show you my beloved city.

Brigitta is a super cool guide… as a history lover I really enjoy these type of tours… she is very nice and show some little treasures from the past (communist medals and other red parafernalia)… for me, the best part is that she gave us a literary recommendation… we all history lovers like when we get a movie/book recommendation so for me this was the highlight… want to know which book she told us? Go and take her tour and find out!
