Best tour of Budapest!

This was an amazing tour. We had a guide Gesame who was very knowledgeable kind, and took the time to explain many of the sites here in Budapest. Everything was taken care of from transportation on the metro to the buses to the entrance to some of the buildings and lunch was spectacular. I highly recommend this tour!

Interesting day in Budapest

Daniel was our guide and he was amazing!! With great explanations about hungarian history, food, architecture, folklore, and much more. We have visited the most important sights in Budapest, but he also led us into smaller alleys and streets to entertain us with urban legends. The history of Hungary was brought to life for us over the course of the day interlaced with discussions about university, night, and everyday life in Hungary. Very well done!

lovely day, lovely food, lovely tour

We booked two tours on Viator with this company and they delivered! We had a wonderful time on this tour with our tour guide, Daniel. He was very kind and informative. There were only 4 of us on the tour and he had time for all questions. We learned a lot about Hungarian history, culture, everyday life and visited so many places. The lunch was absolutely great and in a very nice restaurant. Very strongly recommended activity!

the best way to see Budapest

I booked this tour on viator after seeing the itinerary of this tour. It is very well planned and paced. There were only 5 of us on this tour, so it made the interactions very genuine and our guide, Ferenc was more than able to answer all our questions. He was funny, professional, knowledgeable and knew exactly what to say and how. The lunch was more than amazing, we got the best Goulash soup I ever had during my holiday. Main course was Chicken Paprika and the dessert was light and refreshing, all in a beautiful restaurant. Highly recommended!

a must-do in Budapest

Our guide, Peter was waiting for us at the Opera House, a great meeting place. Easy to find and get to. He was very friendly, funny and informative and he knew exactly how to treat us. We were lucky, since there was no one else on our tour. We first headed to the Heroes' square with one of the oldest metros in Europe. He already had the tickets and showed us how to use them. After some walk in the beautiful and historical City Park we went to the downtown to St. Stephen's. After a quick and amazing lunch break with Hungarian goulash we continued our tour to the Buda castle. Seeing so many things one day and learning so much was an absolutely amazing experience. VERY strongly recommended to everybody who goes to Budapest.

a wonderful day in Budapest

This was one of the best tours we took during our stay in Budapest. We met our guide, Daniel in our hotel and then he took us for to the Heroes square. Then we took the old metro back to the restaurant, where we had a wonderful lunch with hungarian goulahs. We finished in the Buda area after an amazing day.
