Tommy was a great host and gave us lots of information on the city. He was patient and we had lots of time to stop and take pictures and enjoy the view.
Overall very disappointed. We did not get to Gellert Hill as indicated by the itinerary of this tour. Also we waited over 15 minutes before the bus was finally given access through the gate to go up Matthias Church.
Fun tour Atiila our guide was fabulous
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had a fun and enjoyable tour with Attila. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with him, and we hope to see you again on your next visit to Budapest!
Dora was fantastic, elegant, knew everything I asked.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your City Tour with Dora. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again in Budapest!
The tour was advertised as a half-day excursion but lasted only about three hours. A full 30 minutes of that time was spent at a souvenir shop and coffee shop, which felt more like a sales push than a meaningful stop. We also stopped at a square that was under construction with very limited access, making it a waste of time. To make matters worse, the guide provided very little context on Hungarian history or Budapest, and visibility from inside the minivan was quite poor. Overall, it did not live up to expectations.
Without our guide, Rubi Aurora, this tour would not have been worth joining. Rubi was exceptional—her deep knowledge and engaging explanations were the highlight of the entire experience.Unfortunately, the tour itself was poorly organized. The 17-seat minibus was completely full with 17 passengers, making the journey uncomfortable. In addition, the dark-tinted windows made it nearly impossible to see the surroundings. Although Rubi pointed out attractions and landmarks along the way, we had very little chance to actually see them.The air conditioning was also inadequate, which added to the discomfort. Overall, we were disappointed with the experience, but Rubi's professionalism and excellent guidance deserve special recognition.
Thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Dora was very personable and professional. She provided a lot of information that rally enriched our knowledge of the city
We really appreciate your kind review. It's great to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that Dora made it even more enjoyable. Thank you for choosing Eurama for your sightseeing experience!

I'm glad to hear you had such a fantastic experience in Budapest! It sounds like Dora made the tour truly special with her knowledge and attentiveness. Thank you for sharing your positive review!
It was a great tour! About three hours - the bus was comfy and the tour guide, Dora, was very knowledgeable and friendly! We got to see a lot of the major scenes - Buda Castle, the monestary under the Hilton, fisherman’s bastion, St. Matthias church, Hero’s Square, and St. Stephan’s. We also got to see other things from a distance like Parliament and the bridges. We also got very lucky and got to see the inside of St Matthias which was so incredibly lucky!
Thank you very much for your amazing review! We're glad to hear that you had a memorable tour and that Dora made it even more enjoyable. It's also great to hear that you had the chance to see the interior of St. Matthias Church. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you on another adventure in the future!
