We truly enjoyed the tour! The tour guide, Dalia, was very knowledgable and explained the history of Hungary and the places we visited. We learned a lot and love to come back to Budapest!
This tour was a great introduction to Budapest. We were a small group of three and really appreciated the relaxed pace and well-planned route through both Buda and Pest. Our guide, Bea, was wonderful! She was knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to listen to. She shared the history in a way that felt engaging and approachable. We left feeling oriented and excited to explore more of the city. Highly recommend for first-time visitors.
Alexandra was a fantastic guide who easily accommodated an extra stop when we asked. She was very knowledgeable and gave us a great overview of Budapest. The tour itself covered almost everything we wanted to see and allowed us to explore the Buda side after the tour. She also gave good restaurant suggestions.

Dominic gave a wonderful tour of major sites and history in both Buda and Pest. Extremely knowledgeable - we thoroughly enjoyed his tour.
Great walking tour with B seeing the major sights of Budapest. She was very knowledgeable and flexible.
This was an excellent tour of Budapest with tour guide Anna. She was very knowledgeable about all the exhibits we saw and took the time to explain the Hungarian history through the ages as well as each exhibit. Anna gave us time to take pictures and explained the transport system to us which we used for the other two days we were in the city. Our three hours wet by too quickly but they were very informative and knowledgeable. Thank you Anna for a great day even if it was raining.
Our first tour of Budapest following an overnight flight - guide was excellent and kept us on the move and provided tons of information on the history of Budapest and the buildings and monuments we passed by - we were very happy with this tour!
We had the best tour guide ever. Bea is fantastic. She really made our day and made us love Budapest.
