Budapest, Balatoni út - Szabadkai utca sarok, 1222 Hungary
View on Google MapsIldi was an absolutely brilliant guide. She gave us such great insight into the history of Budapest, and was incredibly knowledgeable about the artists and what the statues convey. Ildi's knowledge and passion shone through the whole tour. I definitely learned much more than if I hadn't have taken the tour and I highly recommend it.
The guided tour at Memento Park was excellent — our guide made history come alive with fascinating stories and insights. What could have been just a collection of statues became a powerful lesson in propaganda and power. Informative, engaging, and truly memorable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Budapest.
The tour was fantastic! Ilodi was very knowledgeable and shared personal experiences. She was fun and really made the tour great

Our guide Ildi gave us a fascinating tour of the statues and Hungary’s experience under communist rule. Take a tour as it helps to realise the significance of the place
My guide was knowledgable, clear and objective. She had plenty of additional visual aids to support her views. Looking at what Hungary lived under the communist regime through the sculptures that remain from the 50s and later gives plenty of room for discussing history and politics. The conversation with the guide was pleasant and rich covering the 1920s, the impact of the 2 wars, the "revolution" of 1956 and the soviet regime and then a bit of what went after the dismantling of the USSR
You really need a guide to help you appreciate the history and iconography of the statues, and Ildi was great. Lovely informative guide with excellent English who explains all the sculptures and puts them in their historical context, complete with the ironic nicknames the Hungarians gave them as a bit of comic subversion. The sculptures are propaganda and need to be seen as such: as art they are a mixture of the competent and the truly awful, but they are all fascinating in a gruesome sort of way. If you want to understand the ‘56 uprising and how it felt to live under Soviet hegemony this is a good place to start. Take metro line 4 to the end, then bus 101E or 150 and when you get off turn round and look for Stalin’s boots on the skyline.
Amazing. Really brought the history to life, our guide Eszter was a master of the history as well as the artistic merits of the pieces. One of the highlights of our time in Budapest.
Highlight of our trip to Budapest. Definitely get the guided tour. Our guide, Ildi was warm, funny and so knowledgeable, and able to give context and history behind the statues and the story beyond. Thanks for a great tour!
Extremely interesting and informative. Our guide, Louisa, was exceptional. She interpreted the sculptures which would have been lost on us otherwise.
The guide Louisa was very good. Would recommend anyone visiting the park to book with a guide. She told interesting stories about the statues
