Best tour!!
We had the best time with Edit. She was very knowledgeable, personable and a pleasure to be with. We saw so many sites and learned about the history of Budapest and Hungary. We stopped and walked to see the sites and took amazing pictures so we have great memories to take back home. My husband loved conversing about past and current events with her. It felt like a friend was taking us around and giving us a tour. Highly recommend Efit and this tour to uou if it’s your first time here!

Budapest by day and night
Emily was amazing. A native of Budapest, she is a wealth of cultural and historical information, and knows her way around the city. She is also expert in knowing where the exact best photography spots are. One of the best private tours i have taken, information, enjoyable and Emily is an excellent guide. We got more than a taste of of Budapest. Highly recommend her for a private (or semi private) tour of Budapest.
