Dear George_M, Thank you for your kind words! I am delighted to read you enjoyed the tour with us. ! We are staying at your service at any time in the future! Best wishes, Kata Gyevát Dobó
Zoltan gave us a great introduction to Hungary with numerous tidbits of historical and political commentary on most of the famous in Buda and Pest. He also took us to a lesser known lookout on Buda to get a view of Buda Castle and Pest at night. Would definitely recommend this at the start of the trip to get a quick tour of what you'd like to see on your trip. There's a lot to cover so don't expect to take photographs of everything. We only took some photos at Fisherman's Bastion.
Dear Shreejit_G, I really appreciate your positive feedback and I am delighted to read you enjoyed the tour with Zoltan! We look forward to the opportunity of welcoming you back again for another great experience with us in Hungary! With kindest regards, Kata Gyevát Dobó
Guide good and knowledgeable Vehicle in terrible condition, poor suspension causing jarring bounces on occupants should be repaired before ever using it for tours
Dear Anil, Thank you for your feedback. We’re very pleased to hear that you were satisfied with your guide and found her knowledgeable — our team takes great pride in delivering high-quality guiding services. For your group of 10, we provided a well-maintained 12+2-seater Mercedes Sprinter minibus. All of our vehicles undergo regular maintenance, as it is essential for us to offer reliable and high-standard transportation for every guest. Due to the design and structure of minibuses like the Sprinter, the ride can occasionally feel bumpier at the very rear seats, especially since they are located above the rear axle. We do our best to minimize any discomfort, and we truly regret if this affected your overall experience. We nevertheless hope you enjoyed the tour and had a memorable time in Hungary. Best regards, Veronika Pfeiffer
This was so much more than a nighttime tour of the city. Zoltan took us on a 1,000-year trip through the history of Budapest and Hungary in just two hours. His knowledge of politics, religious history, war, architecture, etc, was amazing. His love of Budapest was infectious. We loved every single minute.
Dear Rita, Thank you so much for your nice review. We are so happy to hear you loved the tour. It would be our pleasure to welcome you back in the future. Have a nice day, Boglárka Kaszás
This was a fantastic tour! We saw so much more than we expected to see. Our guide was so knowledgeable about every building on every street. I highly recommending doing this one on your first night in Budapest. You will have a good idea of where everything is and you can figure out what you want to go back to. Our guide gave us great tips on how to see the places we were going to go to on our own--thank you!! Be aware of what time sunset is--some of the buildings were not lit up until the very end of the tour as it wasn't dark for most of it. The car was luxurious and our guide made sure we were comfortable.
Dear Julie, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that it exceeded your expectations. It’s great to know that our guide’s knowledge and tips helped you make the most of your time in Budapest. We’re also glad the comfortable car and overall experience added to your enjoyment. Your advice about the timing of sunset is very helpful, and we appreciate you sharing it for future guests. We hope the rest of your stay in Budapest was just as memorable, and we’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime! Warm regards, Veronika Pfeiffer
Awesome time! Driver customized our tour to exactly what we wanted to see and added his own suggestions based on the timing and weather. His beautiful, comfortable car zipped us around the city as he pointed out historic highlights.
