Fascinating overview of Budapest highlights, with a bus tour of Buda castle area, sightseeing from the parapets, and then across the Danube and around Pest.

It was difficult to understand our guide when she was speaking English and she was trying to do our tour in both Spanish and English. She pointed out sites but didn’t give much background or history with them. Was not good. Totally skipped the Buda Castle … unless she covered it in Spanish.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations. We will review your comments with our team to improve the quality of our tours and ensure a better experience for our guests.
Our tour guide Attila was amazing! He knew so much about Budapest and showed us all the best places to take photos and grab a great cup of coffee. Not only did he share all Budapest’s important facts but he was so funny and caring to our whole group. A fantastic and memorable experience with Attila thank you so much!
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We're so pleased to hear that Attila made your Budapest tour both fun and informative. We hope to see you again on another adventure in Budapest!
Atilla was a great guide! The sites we visited were beautiful and well described. The bus was cool and comfortable and we could easily hear the narration. Convenient and good value. Only gripe is about other guests (chatting while the guide was talking, letting their young kids disrupt), but it’s hard to see how that could be controlled, as those guests were in charge of themselves. All in all, great experience.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your Budapest City Sightseeing Tour and that Attila's guiding made your experience memorable. We appreciate your understanding regarding the behavior of other guests and hope to welcome you back on another tour in Hungary soon!
