Hungary’s Communist Story - Tour with Emma

We had an excellent tour guide, Emma, who was very knowledgeable and provided us with a complete explanation of Hungary’s history. She answered every question we had and explained how decisions were made in wars and influenced the size of Hungary today. Highly recommend this tour and our guide.
