Great tour, just about the right length in duration with some great local spots, a good amount of food and drink baked into it for the price. Bianka our guide was friendly, very engaging, and overall a most welcoming host. Strong recommendation for first time visitors
Csenge was wonderful! She was very knowledgeable & made a great tour even more fun. We highly recommend!
There are 3 stops for beer and after the second stop there's food. There was a stop we're locals And tourist go to for cherry beer
It was just the two of us on the tour with the guide. He was polite and genuinely kind; he just seemed a bit uncomfortable leading such a small group. If we hadn’t constantly asked questions and carried the conversation, we would’ve spent three hours silently sipping our drinks together. It didn’t feel like a guided tour so much as an extremely awkward blind date that everyone was just trying to survive until it was over. I think he has good intentions, but a more engaging and conversational approach would make the experience much more enjoyable.
A very beautiful experience, with a unique and historical view for life
Thank you for your kind review!
Our tour with Zoltan was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and engaging. We had a wonderful time and would totally recommend this ruin bar walking tour to anyone coming to Budapest.
Thank you for taking the time and effort, and leaving us with your review! We are happy you had fun and enjoyed your tour with Zoltán.
Completely atypical experience in this ruined building, tagged with multiple colors. Many Bars, on all sides, share a space where all generations of adults, adult cocktails, beer, Bar, Chicha, music and many different objects mix. I recommend this outing one evening to discover this decor.

Loved the ruin bars. Fabulous atmosphere and interesting surroundings. Live music was a bonus.

This was an amazing tour, likely made that way by our amazing guide, Bianca. She took us to three different ruin bars, to include the original more popular (and huge) one and two more local ones. They all have such different vibes and were fun and quirky in their own way. She taught us about the history and culture of drinking in Budapest and how that has changed with generations, she took us to get Langos as a yummy snack, and introduced us to Palinka (or 5)! It was a fantastic time and provided great photo-ops as well. Highly recommend.
Dear Joshua! Thank you for your kind review and your time for writing it! We are happy to see your enjoyed your tour with Bianka!
We stayed 5 days and did about 4 tours, this was the best without any doubt, very fun, you know and interact with people, and the welcome was excellent, I would repeat it without any doubt.
Thank you for your kind review! We are happy you enjoyed your tour with us!
