A Fabulous Introduction to Budapest

For first timers arriving in Budapest, we would advise everyone to take this tour! You will meet a local who has extensive knowledge of the history and culture of this beautiful city! Ferenc was absolutely terrific! We met at the Opera House and began our tour there. Then we took the tram to Hero’s Square. Ferenc kept a very good pace sharing his knowledge while allowing us to ask questions. He was so engaging and the sites we saw were so captivating that the three and a half hours seemed to fly by. I highly recommend this tour!
