Budapest Tour
Know that there is a couple hours of walking. Be on time for the River cruise. Get the name of your tour guide and their contact info if anything happens during the tour.
Petra did a great job guiding our tour. I learned so much about Budapest during our tour. She was outstanding!

Private tour of Budapest
Monica was very detailed and it was great to have a private tour! Two hours of walking in and around Budapest followed by an hour cruise on the Danube! Fantastic!

Wasteful
Kind of a waste. Walked around downtown. The boat ride and seeing the city lights was wonderful the rest was a waste of time

Sparkling night in Budapest
My tour was with Kristof booked on Tours with locals. He was so enthusiastic and tied everything together from our basic tour and little knowledge of the Nazis and Soviets in Budapest the sparkling lights reflecting in the Danube made it all magical. He guided us onto public transportation, which is the easiest way to get around due to intense traffic. It's free for people over 65 nothing to it! And we learned so much.

Excellent night walking tour
Excellent tour and very lovely at night. The city is so beautifully lit up! It is a long walk but the pace is slow enough. Our guide Petra was excellent! So knowledgeable and great personality. The river tour was good but not great. The recording didn’t coordinate well with where we were on the river. Still pretty.

Enchanting
We thoroughly enjoyed our 2-hour night walking tour with Lujz. The city is incredible at night! Lujz was so knowledgeable and a delight! The icing on the cake was the boat ride and seeing the city from the river at night! ENCHANTING! Would highly recommend this tour!

The sights were wonderful...
The sights were wonderful and educational. However, our tour guide almost lost our group walking so fast through the crowded river walk portion. And directions back to where we started were limited.

Wonderful First Night Tour In Budapest
My wife and I were fortunate enough to get this as a private tour. Having a senior moment, I forgot our tour guide's name, but she did a wonderful job introducing us to the lovely city of Budapest, educated us on the history, the culture, the people, the food...it was wonderful! We really only concentrated on one section of the city, from the Opera House to the waterfront, but that was plenty to absorb. We finished with a lovely 1 hour boat ride at dark up and down the Danube. Some wonderful night sites on both sides of the river, and it was a perfect way to end our first day. Recommend this tour to all first timers to Budapest.
