Great Food & Tour Experience

We did the tour in late October with as corporate team during business trip in Budapest. It was a great Tour Experience with our Guide Andy. He showed us the most famous sights and places in Budapest and added a lot of historic, cultural and even culinaric facts and stories. How he told us everything was the exact right mix of fun and expertise. The offered food was delicious and easily enough to satisfy everyone of our group.

Dear Matthew, Thank you so much for sending us this great review, and your kind words about Andy's tour! All the best, Petra

Great private walking tour!

This was a wonderful walking tour. Our guide, Emi was fantastic! She was very knowledgeable and gave us so much information and context of the history, historical figures and places, and she did so in a way that was conversational and that answered our many questions. She also asked us questions along the way to tailor the tour more specifically to our interests. There is a rich history here and this tour was a great introduction for us to learn even more. A big thanks to Emi for a great afternoon exploring Budapest.

A walk through time in Budapest with excellent tour Guide Andy, brought history to life!

Awesome tour. Petra arranged for 2 great tours for our family. Our local tour guide was Andy, her husband, whose family of generations and Andy's experiences growing up, gave us first hand knowledge of life in Budapest. He had lots of stories to explain the history of the rulers in Hungary. We saw the beautiful architecture, infrastructure, artistic buildings, churches, statues and the Shoe Memorial. My favorite part that both saddened me and moved my heart was the tour of the Jewish sector. Wishing everyone could see this beautiful city of Budapest and learn the history. He could answer all our questions with such real life knowledge. So glad we invited him to lunch with us. He made suggestions so we could enjoy the local food in a local cafe. The food was very inexpensive. It was a four hour walking tour, about 7 miles. This is a family tour company. Highly recommend if you want to see Budapest with excellent local guide.

Operator response

Dear Margaret, Once again, this is an amazing gift for our company that we can read one more 5 star review from you! Thank you for boosting our business and our confidence! :) Best regards, Petra

Perfect 4 hour walking tour around Budapest with Andy

Petras agency is a family affair! Her husband Andy was our 4 hour walking guide, and it was amazing. So informative. It was obvious Andy was experienced and was proud of his homeland. So many small details made for a delightful morning. Amazingly, we asked Andy to drop us at a restaurant for lunch, and we invited him to join us. We learned more about the traditional food and drink of hungry. Petra even stopped in for a quick hello. It’s was a great value too!

Frank, I am so happy I had the chance to see you in person! Joe's friends are my friends too, and I'm so so happy you enjoyed the tour with Andy! I hope it wasn't your last time visiting Budapest, and I'm looking forward to show you around again, my friends! Thank you for the great review! Petra

Go on the tour with Petra!

This was our first tour after two days of traveling. Petra was fantastic! She was engaging, interesting and quite funny. She is clearly passionate about her country and extremely knowledgeable about it’s history. I went with my two sons (18 and 22) and we were fresh off of an exhausting journey of canceled and delayed flights. Her energy was infectious and we had an absolute blast! Great overview of the whole city. Highly recommend.

Operator response

Hi Ilene, Thank you so so much for taking the time and write this review, and I’m so happy I could make your first day in Budapest a wonderful memory in the end :) I hope you’ll visit us again sometime!

Book Around Budapest for a through and affordable private tour

Thank you Petra for a memorable, affordable and fun tour. I had emailed Around Budapest when I started planning my trip. Petra was very prompt in replying back and asked if we had any preferences. On the day of the tour she was on time and prepared. My young kids ages 8/10 loved her! One of my requests was to make it entertaining for the kids and educational for us. She stuck to those guidelines. We split the tour up over 2 days. One day for Buda and the next for Pest. Petra was very through and knowledgeable. She was quick to change the itinerary as we went along. Petra is funny and extremely kind. She is amazing at what she does. She has such a good energy and she was able to keep up with the kids. If you’re looking for a private tour then email Petra. You won’t regret it!

Thank you so so much for your lovely review, and hopefully meet you sooner than later in San Francisco!

What a day in Budapest... with Petra!

I have to say it was our best decision to book Petra for our weekend stay in Budapest. We have booked the private city tour with the main attractions and highlights. Its amazing how she was able to pack so many details and fun facts about the city and history of the Hungarian nation into couple hours walk. We have started at Jewish Quarter and finished at Buda Castle. During the tour we also enjoyed the Xmas market with some mulled wine and palinka :-) Her support doesn't finished when we said good-buy. She sent us many must to see places, restaurants and also places close to Budapest so we were able to enjoy our way back home. I can only recommend her and definitely we will book her for our next visit as we will come back for sure :-)

The best tour guide in Budapest and maybe the world🙂

The private tour around Budapest with Petra was excellent! Places are well chosen and with this tour you will have a nice overview of the left bank of Budapest (Pest) With Petra you immediatly feel good because she is a very good listenner and advise you the best restaurants, places to visit and teach you some hungarian words (even if you don’t remember after because this is a difficult language 😂) and the most important: you are sure to laugh because there a lot of funny facts about Budapest. As well she was always on time and always answered me by message when I needed to get know some tips about Budapest. I highly recommend without hesitation this tour with Petra, the best tour guide in Budapest
