Excellent guide for Budapest

Juan was very informative as well as adding some humour at times. He always found some shade before talking about each stop. Excellent guide.

Budapest walking tour in heatwave

My big advice check the weather before you book this tour. The temperature was over 100 and it wasn’t that fun besides she the tour lady tried to make it as fun and interesting. But she was excellent and if you would love to learn about Budapest in short I would definitely recommend this tour. Short and interesting
