This was easily the best tour I’ve had in Europe! Our guide Balint was friendly, informative, and fun. He taught us a lot about the history and present day of Hungary. We used public transportation part of the time, so the walk wasn’t bad at all. It was just the right length. The strudel stop is delightful. Don’t miss this tour!
It was a very accessible tour due to the mix of public transportation and the many stops. There was a nice overview of the whole City.
Incredible tour! Our guide Greg made all the difference. Knowledgeable, funny and fun. Highly recommend the tour!!
A great overview for our first visit to Budapest! Anna was a very good guide taking time to share local knowledge and insights. We enjoyed taking different modes of transportation from bus to subway. Very enjoyable and a comfortable pace.
If you only have a limited time in Budapest and you want to hit nearly all the highlights, lace up your comfortable walking shoes, grab a water bottle and take this tour! Petra was a fantastic and knowledgeable guide, who managed to be informative, fun and a great photographer 😀. The strudel stop was perfectly timed and also excellent. When we stood at the top of the Fisherman's Bastian and saw how much of Budapest we were able to see in four hours by foot (with a little help from the metro and bus) it was impressive. Can't recommend this tour (or Petra) enough.
Greg was an excellent guide very knowledgeable about all things Budapest and Hugary - super informative on the history of tge country and the city- extremely courteous and friendly - would recommend yo everyone
Monika was a great guide and we really enjoyed our walking tour around Budapest. We learned much about the history and culture of Budapest from a genuine local with a great passion for and interest in Budapest. It was great to see around and learn about both sides of the river and she was very knowledgeable and gave us great insights and recommendations. Overall a good introduction to Budapest for first time visitors. Than you Monika.
We thoroughly enjoyed this day tour of Budapest. Petra was an excellent tour guide and we enjoyed learning about Budapest and Hungary’s rich history with her. We travelled all over Budapest visiting famous landmarks using their excellent transit system. The strudel stop was also a fun way to break up the tour and there was such a variety of strudels we were able to sample. Overall, the length of the tour was just right and the tour structure was very logical and well thought out. This tour is definitely a must do for visitors with a limited time in the city or for those who want an introduction to the amazing landmarks to help them decide where to spend more time on their stay.
An optimal, exciting, and varied tour through Buda and Pest with lots of information about the city's history, politics, culture, and life in Budapest. Including delicious samples of various strudels. Greg was a very competent and educated guide with great knowledge and experience.
It was a great tour covering all the main attractions. Well paced and a very knowledgeable guide. Great for a first time visitors.
