We had a lovely tour with Gabriela! She was very knowledgeable and personable, sharing both the historical facts and locations of Budapest, but also how it has transformed over the decades. We even had a stop to enjoy traditional coffee and cakes. Highly recommend!
A highly incredible guided visit! As it was private and personalized, it was the idea to be able to ask many questions to the guide and have very good conversations as we traveled through the most interesting points of the center of Budapest. A very interactive experience and with a lot of knowledge of what it transmitted to me. Not only was it extremely friendly but even made me know a place as a gift that was not included in the tour. A spectacular experience to get to know the city and even indicated me that it would be possible to visit the museum of the club that even had an idea to spend la nearby. Very good this kind of tips for those on vacation.
As a group of 4, we booked a 4 hour guided walking tour of Budapest. Our guide, Rahman’s Richard was excellent. He had wonderful knowledge which he imparted with a light touch and good humour. We all thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
I was looking for a good introduction to Budapest. It’s history, landmarks and what it’s like living there today. I got all that plus a wonderful guide. Gabriella was very knowledgeable and also charming. She made for a very informative and fun day. Highly recommended!
Ah, the joy of taking a private tour, instead of a group tour! We rather enjoyed our four hour walking tour of Budapest with Gabriella, our knowledgeable and charming guide, despite the steady, unseasonably cold rain. Thank GOODNESS we booked a private tour, as we were able to craft the perfect day to our needs and wants, rather than be forced to trudge up stairs and streets through the steady rain. Best yet, Gabriella was terrific company, and we rather enjoyed swapping stories about our personal lives. Gabriella knew exactly what she was speaking about, adjusted the agenda to align with our wishes, and made certain we were warm and comfortable throughout the day. Clearly, it's not the guides fault that the weather didn't cooperate, but isn't it terrific when a guide can navigate through unexpected hurdles and make it fun and memorable anyway! Go to Budapest, a TERRIFIC city, see the sights, sample the food, soak in the culture, and just between us, spend the few extra dollars and book a private tour (preferably with Gabriella), just in case a few raindrops change your plans. Things DO happen!
This tour with Gabriella was very enlightening and enjoyable. Having a local share the history and her experience of living in Budapest was a welcome bonus to just receiving a regular tour. Gabriella was not only knowledgeable, but also very personable and we enjoyed the day learning about the history, culture, food, and hopes of Hungarian people!
This was a fantastic tour. I highly recommend. The best walking tour experience we have had. Gabriella’s colleague Annamari conducted the tour. She was waiting outside our accommodation at 9:30am and we were off. The tour does not take you inside buildings for any detailed tours, instead we saw almost all of the key city highlights (both Buda and Pest side) while Annamari explained the history, etc about the location/ building. This was perfect for us as it allowed us the refine the rest of our visit and select those locations which caught our interest.
My husband, our friend traveling with us, and I all agree that our private walking tour was wonderful. Gabriella is a terrific guide. She is friendly and fun, and she presents history and all information in a way that is so engaging that you never lose interest. We had plenty of time to ask questions and take photos. We learned so much about Hungary and Budapest. We loved that we used Budapest's wonderful public transportation system (free for those 65 and over, 7-day card very reasonable) with her multiple times to get to various venues. Since our first full day started with Gabriella, this introduction to the transportation system helped us a lot, and we used it in our own with no problems the rest of our time in Budapest. Gabriella gave us great suggestions for restaurants and other places to visit on our own. The coffee and cookie break was awesome and a super treat, and we went back on our own the next day we liked the establishment so much. You definitely won't be disappointed with Gabriella as your Budapest walking tour guide.
Gabriella “got” us right away. She responded to our interests and questions and was engaging, informative, and open. We appreciated her willingness to share her experience, insights, and perspectives.
This is a fantastic tour. Gabriella was a superb guide. Really knowledgeable but with a great sense of humour. You see all the main sites and good mix of walking with the public transport options. She also gave us great advice and recommendations for the rest of our time in Budapest.
