★★★★★2 months agoAbsolutely incredible and interactive experience! The sets were beautifully designed and technology was used to keep the tour interesting and novel throughout the 100 minute duration. Shoutout to our guides George & Ben who were both super informative and knowledgeable. They answered all the questions we had with expertise. Bonus: we even got a free souvenir and picture at the end! Definitely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Budapest! ⭐️

★★★★★a month agoWhat a wonderful experience!! We visited the city and it's amazing history on foot. On our last day we were looking to do something with our teenager kids. This museum came out . Superb! Here you will understand the history of Hungary and all those places that are a highlight when you visit this beautifully country. VR and museum in one! The staff is great and you will get your own souvenir at the end! I will recommend it always as it's for all ages and in different languages including ours: German, English and Spanish!
