We did a full day tour with Andrea and she was fantastic. The pace was perfect for us and allowed us to see everything we wanted and more. We had 3 days in Budapest post this tour and it helped us to organize and prioritize our time for the other days. Also, she had a great way of sharing the hard stories as well as the joyful times in the city. The booking process and meeting logistics were easy too. Highly recommend!
Orsi was a delight to tour with. She is a local with an abundance of knowledge about Budapest, Hungary and the history that has helped shape both. We saw and learned a lot - most would be difficult to discover on our own. Well worth the time and money spent.
Orsi gave us an amazing tour of some of the highlights of Pest along with some great stories of the history of Hungary. We also enjoyed a variety of strudel at a lovely place where we could watch the process as we ate. Orsi is very knowledgeable and was able to answer any question we had. We highly recommend her!
Wonderful private tour with our very delightful and knowledgeable guide Anita. She did not rush us, and answered all of our extra questions. She was a font of knowledge about Budapest and Hungary. We enjoyed the tour immensely! It was worth every penny.
Anita is an excellent guide. We have seen All the hidden gems and learned all about Hungarian culture and history. I highly recommend this tour.
An incredible and detailed tour of the Pest side of the city. There were many hidden gems as the tour promised! Great history and insight from our guide, Anita. Stopping for a coffee and strudel during the tour was an extra bonus!
Excellent way to get a handle on Budapest for first-timers. We visited key inner city locations on an easy three hour walk, got a handle on history and getting around, and had a wonderful guide in Andrea who was helpful, honest about the country’s tough, fascinating history, and funny to boot. Recommended.
We loved learning about all the historical background of Budapest and the county of Hungary starting at the riverfront and walking through the city. With Petra stopping along the way to tell us stories, it allowed for us to ask questions and clearly hear and understand so much more about the people and the deep history in Hungary. We stopped for pictures along the way, and even went to a Strudel Shop and tasted local authentic strudel. It was definitely the highlight of our time in Budapest. Petra was informative, funny and full of information and suggestions of what to do after the tour. We would highly recommend this tour!
The tour was a highlight of our trip! Anita was easy to talk to and her knowledge of history, politics, architecture, etc was amazing. We learned so much along the way about a city and country with a really interesting history. The strudel halfway through was delicious and authentic as well. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone who’s looking to learn about the city as they see it!
Very good historical overview of the city by our tour guide Andi. The tour moved at a good pace and covered a good portion of the Pest side.
