Too many in group. Basically a transport service Guide did not engage with group in meaningful way. Similar to hop on/off bus experience

The bus tour left before we arrived at the meeting spot. We were a few minutes late due to the roads being blocked off because of the Budapest marathon. Given that, I would have thought they would have allowed at least a 5-10 minute grace period. The staff at the office were helpful and we were able to meet eventually meet up with our group, but we missed one hour of the three-hour bus tour.
Aggie was both knowledgable and personable and set up our stay in Budapest with an overall background of the history of the region. Highly recommended
Thank you for your wonderful 5-star rating! It’s great to know that you had a pleasant experience with us. We really appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again in Budapest! We’ll make sure to share your feedback with the guide.
Kristina was our wonderful guide for the morning - providing us with interesting history and showing us around this stunning history. Highly recommended.
Thank you very much for your kind feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour with Krisztina. We appreciate your recommendation! Kind regards, Márton / Cityrama
The city of Buda tour with Ibrahim is recommended. Excellent guide with very good historical context, very pleasant and entertaining.
The young female guide provided great historical context for a small group for St Mathias Church and Hero’s Square. She provided some context for Parliament in addition to the tour fee included a tour inside Parliament. The only negative thing regarding the guide is that she used profanity when referring to Jesus at St Mathias church. Recommend she clean up her language when referring to Jesus. There is more walking to this than expected, and includes multiple stairs coming out of St Mathias church without elevators. Not too much walking at Hero’s Square but plenty of walking to get to Parliament. No restroom stops anywhere in this tour and it must be done during the few minutes of free time. The experience provided a good overview but goes by fast especially considering the walking required. This would be best for those who do not have difficulty going down multiple sets of stairs since elevators were only available for one small portion of descent from St Mathias.
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the historical context provided by your guide and the overall overview of Budapest, including the Parliament visit. We also appreciate your comments regarding the guide’s language and will address them with our team, as we strive to maintain a professional and respectful experience for all guests. Thank you as well for your observations about the walking and restroom opportunities, which will help future guests set their expectations.
I signed up for the Grand City Tour (without visiting the Parliament) in order to have time to get to know all the interesting places this wonderful city has to offer. We didn't want to walk a lot, so this tour was really suitable for us. We were a small group of seven people and luckily we had an excellent guide, Christin, who was knowledgeable about all the details, and the explanations we received were really comprehensive. The tour started on time and ended on time, and we really enjoyed it.
Thank you for your kind and detailed feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the well-organized Grand City Tour and that Christin’s comprehensive explanations helped you get to know Budapest better in a small group setting. It’s great to hear the timing and pace suited you well, and that you had a pleasant overall experience. We hope to welcome you again in the future!
On May 1st I was in Budapest. I had the opportunity to tour the city with the Citirama agency. Absolute consistency. Coach with a polite driver and an excellent tour guide. It was an unforgettable experience.
Thank you for your kind feedback! We’re delighted to hear you had an unforgettable experience in Budapest with us. It’s great to know you appreciated the professionalism of both our driver and guide. We truly value your recommendation and hope to welcome you again in the future!
Our guide was Ben and our driver was Chris. They were both very friendly and professional. Ben’s delivery was clear and engaging. He was happy to answer questions and take photos. A great short (3 hours) comprehensive tour of Budapest’s hi lights; a mixture of bus and walking with a little free time. Would certainly recommend.
Thank you for your kind feedback! We’re delighted to hear that Ben and Chris made your tour enjoyable with their professionalism, clear and engaging commentary, and helpful attitude. It’s great that you were able to experience so much of Budapest in a short, well-balanced tour. We truly appreciate your recommendation!
Ben our guide was excellent - he spoke very clearly and was audible at all times. His command of English was very good. He gave us enough information without overloading us and covered all the major historical events. A little more walking would have been enjoyable and perhaps a little less travelling by bus, but that did not affect our enjoyment overall. I would recommend this tour and thanks to Ben for his fun and interesting comments.
Thank you very much for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and appreciated Ben’s clear explanations, knowledge, and engaging commentary. We also appreciate your suggestion regarding more walking and less time on the bus, and we will certainly take it into consideration. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you again on another tour soon!
