Julia is an excellent guide with many insights. The problem is that the place is not accessible for people having difficulty in climbing stairs
The church is amazingly beautiful. The tour was very informative. The only downside was that at times it was difficult to understand or hear her. Headset would have been a plus.
We booked 4 timed entry tickets online through Viator for Sunday at 9:00 AM and received confirmation. When we arrived the church was closed for liturgical services until 1:00 PM so we couldn’t enter. We had other plans in the afternoon so could not return at 1:00 PM It was a struggle over several days to get a refund. Viator blamed the church ticketing office and St Stephan’s blamed Viator. Not fun.
Nice view of the city from the terrace. Pleasant interior but no effect wahou... Treasure bof. For me this visit was not essential given the price of admission.
Interesting and beautiful ... to recommend to those who want to know the history of budapest through the main attractions
Beautiful experience and the girl who accompanied us on the tour was very good and made the visit very pleasant and engaging.
Friendly and informative. Wonderful tour of the Basilica but also very informative about the history of Budapest its inhabitants and Hungary in general. Katalin also knew loads about the British Film Industry!
We very much enjoyed our tour with Petra. She was so knowledgeable, entertaining, passionate about the history of her country and the basilica! She included lots of os historical stories that made our tour fun. Highly recommended
Meeting up with the tour guide was a challenge as the meeting place assigned was in front of ticket office that sold tickets for the same event. The guide did not have on any attire indicating she was a guide or nothing on her sign she pulled out of her bag that said Basilica tour. It was raining and we stood in line attempting to locate the person. Once inside the Basilica she was knowledgeable. We have been on better organized tours with Viator and that's why we continue to use them, not all can be winners.
A must do tour. The inside of the Basalica is amazing. Our guide Alexandria was very knowledgeable and spike fluent English.
