The tour was very well organised, insightful and a great discovery of such a beautiful city. Our guide was very knowledgeable and attentive to our desires and interests. My interactions with Gabriel were also excellent. All round a 5-star experience. I definitely recommend it
Dear Roberta! Thank you for the great words. We really appreciate the good words and comments! Enjoy your stay in Hungary! Please return back!
Gabor is a very knowledgeable historian and speaks excellent English. He tailored our tour to our interests and he’s genuinely nice and fun to be with.
Dear Tony and Arleen! You were a great audience. Thank you for the coffe house visit. Thank you for the great time. I hope you enjoyed your visit to the bath houses and managed to visit the House of Music.
Fantastic Local Tour Experience in Budapest! I recently took a guided tour in Budapest with a local guide, and it was the highlight of my trip. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate about Hungarian history, and shared fascinating stories you wouldn’t find in any travel book.
We had an amazing experience exploring Budapest with Dora Budapest Tours! We did both the city tour and a customized half-day tour, and everything was perfectly organized and tailored to our interests. Dora was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the history and charm of Budapest come alive. They were flexible with our requests and gave us enough time at each stop to soak in the atmosphere without feeling rushed. Their passion for the city really shines through, and they made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves throughout the tour. It was truly one of the highlights of our trip, and we came away with a deeper appreciation for this beautiful city. Highly recommend Dora to anyone visiting Budapest.
We booked a 4-hour private tour in Budapest for 300 euros, expecting a fun and informative experience for our kids. Instead, it was disorganized, unengaging, and overpriced. The guide lacked enthusiasm, gave vague information, and failed to connect with the children. Not worth the cost—avoid!
We had a wonderful half-day private tour by Gabor. He is an excellent tour guide; he is gentle, flexible, speaks excellent English and has a good sense of humour! He is also very knowledgeable about his city abd country and was able to answer my many questions! Another plus is that he is a safe driver! His car is very clean and comfortable! My husband has limited mobility so he designed a tour for us where we didn’t have to walk too long. From the start, communication with him was easy and he was flexible to our requirements. He gave us a great introduction to beautiful Budapest, its history, culture, people and food. This afternoon tour was the highlight of our visit! You won’t regret it if you book with Gabor! Thank you Gabor, for a great time with you! We appreciate your useful gift too!
Dear Jenny! Thank you for your honest and kind words. We had a great day! Thank you for taking my recommendations regarding cruising and visiting museum! I hope David is making usage of the gift! Köszönöm szépen! Thank you!
So we were introduced to Gabriel through this tour- I must say we were extremely happy with how things went. He was both courteous but also caring - and highly knowledgeable. Beyond just knowing everything about major spots and sharing them in a fun filled manner, he also helped us to figure out how to spend time in the city and was there to guide us over the course of time even when the tour was done. Would definitely recommend this tour and specially Gabriel, who was fantastic through the day and half we spent together. 💕☺️
Dear Manan! Thank you for choosing our services. Enjoy your stay in Matilda Palace Budapest!
We had an absolutely amazing tour with Gabor. He turned out to be the perfect guide for us. He drove us through the hustling and bustling city with a great coolness, so that we really could relax and enjoy. His knowledge about the city, its sights and the history of Hungary was profound and entertaining at the same time. He also send us very good recommendations about where to eat/dine after we had left him. Perfect guide!
Dear Ladies! It was a great pleasure to show you our gorgeous city! You were a fantastic audience
Gabor is a very pleasant and knowledgeable tour guide! We were driven around in a clean and comfortable Mercedes Viano. Our experience in Budapest was all the more enjoyable thanks to Gabor!
Dear Hagop family! Thank you for choosing our services. It was a memorable city tour for me starting by your Four Season - Gresham Palace, carried on by the Central Market Hall, and all by the higlights of the city. Thank you for inviting me in this beautiful restaurant for a great lunch! Regards Gabriel
Highly recommend Gabor for tours of Budapest. Gabor is very kind, thoughtful, and knowledgeable, and his vehicle is very comfortable and spacious. I did a half day tour with Gabor and having already seen some of the sites around Budapest he was able to customize my tour to cover things I had not seen. Throughout the tour, he taught me a lot about the history and culture of Hungary and its people. In addition, he showed me hidden gems and things around Budapest that even many of my Hungarian friends who had lived in the city for years did not know. He very clearly enjoys sharing his knowledge with guests and meeting new people; it makes the tour experience very fun as a guest to have a guide who is not only knowledgeable but very clearly enjoys his job. Lastly, his command of the English language is excellent: he is very easy to understand and communicates complicated concepts clearly and succinctly. TLDR: If you’re looking for a fun and comfortable tour of Budapest through time and want to learn about the history and culture of Hungary, take a tour with Gabor.
Dear Helen! Thank you! You were a great audience! Thank you for the good words. Have a great summer!
