Enigmatic reminiscences of Communism
Hello, I'm Tamas. I set up my tour profile to show off some of the concealed solitaires of Buda side. I am up to make known the covered details of history beyond the main attractions. The walks are conducted at a slow speed & I always try to tailor it to your needs & interests. Happen we alter the way to visit additional spots. My study background is language science & business science in the UK with curiosity about XXth century history. We may set the course of our conversation to many directions: fine wines, languages, Cold War radio stations, impacts of Communism on civil life, local pubs & cafés in the area.

Description
May I invite you to experience the decayed glory of communism?
Walking among the epitomical monuments and cenotaphs is really an ultimate way of a freaky time traveling. (Memento Park)
Switching towards the enigmatic mountains of Buda, we come across a unique local 1:1 scale railway system controlled by children. Still a living part of the communist heritage railway fans may brave embarking on.
Alongside we perform a nice short walk following the path of the Normafa forest to food and drink pavilions. An excellent occasion for a relaxed walk under the shadows of the trees.
These spots are out of town and are not stressed by over-tourism.
This tour needs 4 hours. We travel by my minibus.
