Anna, the lady who guided us through the church, was absolutely fantastic! She explained everything clearly and engagingly, was incredibly kind and helpful, and even helped us take some beautiful photos. It was a truly pleasant experience!
We were 15 minutes early, searched for 1 1/2 hrs and could not find any Viator sign for the Tour. We asked for a refund and was refused. Very , very disappointed!
Dear Corinne, As we described it in our response to your refund request, we have evidences to prove that our guide was at the meeting point at 9:21 AM, that we tried to call you multiple times and that we could not get in touch with you via Whatsapp. We are aware that travelers tend to identify tours with the booking platform, but Viator is not a tour organizer. It is a wholesaler platform, so travelers should not search for a Viator sign, but for the sign of the tour provider. Our guides are recognizable, particalurly the one delegated to you, because he waits guests with a medium size Hungarian flag in his hand. It is also mandatory for them to ask people around the meeting point if they are waiting for them or not. Usually, if guests don't find us, get in touch with us either via phone or via the booking platform. You missed to do both. We truly regret that you missed this experience. As you can see in the reviews, our guides enjoy delivering high quality services and experiences to travelers. We remain sincerely Yours, Absolute Tours
Monica is a wonderful tour guide. She tells us how it is and does not make up stories. She guided us through the Matthias Church and leads us away from the crowd. We were able to see the whole Castle area pointing out historic and relevant sites. She led us down to the Castle garden and the Danube River. And she took us to the bus stop and helped us get our tickets. Too bad that Buda Castle has a lot of reconstruction work going on. But all in all, we were pleased with our tour.
Fantastic tour! Super informative and friendly guide - loads of enthusiasm and a good sense of humour. Greg is the best!!! Thanks so much.
This was the best tour we took during our time in Budapest. Our guide, Bálint, was exceptional - extremely knowledgeable, kind, prepared, and fun to talk to. We asked many questions about little details, and he always knew the answers. We also had a great time joking and learning more about the city at the same time we were learning about the history of the castle. The actual content of this tour is terrific as well. The inside of the Matthias Church is staggeringly beautiful, the views on this tour will be the most stunning of your time in Budapest, and we really got a full survey of the Castle District and all its interesting secrets. Cannot recommend this enough! Absolute Tours does a very nice job every single time.
Our group had an unforgetable experience with Christina on our private walking tour and cafe stop. She knows Budapest so well. She truly loves her homeland, which was very touching. This was from the heart. Christina personalized our walk to accommodate the desires of the group, at our pace. What made Christina special was her warm personality and natural people skills. Absolute Tours has a gem of an employee. I have no hesitation in recommending her.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us feedback. We love to share our love for our country, hope to see you again in Budapest.
We had a 4 pm flight out of Budapest and rather than spend most of the day at the airport we booked a 3 hour Walking Tour with Absolute Tours. Our fabulous guide Tamas was a wealth of information, his knowledge, his English, his sense of humour, he was awesome. We would recommend Absolute Tours and Tamas to anyone who has a bit of spare time in Budapest.
Thank you for your kind review. It’s a pleasure to see that you had such a nice time on your Budapest Walking tour with Tamas. Look forward to seeing you again soon.
Four of us had a wonderful private walking tour of Budapest yesterday with Timea of Absolute Tours. We managed to fit in visits to Heroes Square (where Timea gave us a condensed but informative version of 1000 years of Hungary's history), the top of the Basilica, and Matthias Church in the Castle District of Buda -- along with many sights in between. Loved the trips on the underground! Timea was informative, friendly, professional, and responsive to our many questions. Her English is excellent. Booking process online was simple through the Absolute Tours website. Highly recommend!!
Thank you very much for your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your tour in Budapest with Timea. Hope to welcome you on a next tour again soon.
