A private bike tour for those who have already seen the famous sights and want to know the Budapest behind them: neighborhoods whose glory has faded, communist-era housing estates, huge industrial sites converted to new uses, parks and markets.
Along the way, the guide talks about Hungarian history, life under communism and Hungary today. Some neighborhoods feel like a country town, or like the Budapest of the past.
