A funny, informative overview of the history and culture of Budapest.

I’m typically not a fan of organized walking tours; however, with only one day in the city we wanted to learn as much as possible about the area and the history. This tour was PERFECT! Mostly due to our lovely guide Pana. She was gracious, amusing and very knowledgeable. Her pride in the country - her home - was evident. She took questions and answered each with confidence and a of humor. Highly recommend as a great start to a visit of any length.
