Hidden streets of Buda with a freaky touch

Walk with me through the mysterious and forgotten corner of Buda!
The "menu":

1. Buildings with eeire history. How political establishments form histories and functions of buildings?

2. Strategic urban developments in the shadows of Cold War hysteria. Contradicting social/political ideologies after WWII,

3. Victories of the Ottoman Empire. Turkish memories in Buda.

4. A hidden garden of reconsiliation & peace.

The "freaky" motif corresponds to the works of George Orwell. Further hints: Fahrenheit 451, The Lives of others.

The program is conversational and designed for small groups. Besides, this experience focuses on those tiny little details of history one would need to acquire for a thorough understanding.
Charles Dickens believes that "It’s in vain to recall the past, unless it works some influence upon the present."
Thus, your active participation in building a dialogue about further related topics is most appretiated.
If you run into any technical problem throughout the booking process, please send me a message!

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 track to see 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.
