Really good fun. Great way to see Busapest and learn as you go. Easy walking and only took a couple if hours.
😊 Thank you for the great review! We’re delighted that you had fun exploring Budapest and learning along the way. It’s great to hear that the walking felt easy and that the whole experience fit nicely into a couple of hours. 🗺️
A beautiful experience. I thought there was something strange when I saw the price, but instead it is a well-structured and very interesting tour that offers a lot of history and culture tidbits of the place. Highly recommended
Grazie mille! 😊 Un tour ben strutturato che regala tante pillole di storia e cultura di Budapest, è esattamente quello che vogliamo offrire, e a un ottimo prezzo! Siamo felicissimi che l'esperienza vi abbia conquistato. Speriamo di rivedervi presto in un'altra città! 🗺️
Various visits and great moments.all.together
Thank you so much! 😊 Great moments all together exploring Budapest — that's exactly the experience we want to create! We hope to welcome you on another adventure in a different city soon! 🗺️
The kids had a lot of fun! Time has flown by! We always took a break in between! You get past all the important things
😊 Vielen Dank für eure wunderschöne Bewertung! Es freut uns sehr, dass die Kinder so viel Spaß hatten und die Zeit wie im Flug vergangen ist. Schön, dass ihr die Tour ganz entspannt mit Pausen genießen konntet und dabei an den wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten von Budapest vorbeigekommen seid. Wir hoffen, euch bald in einer anderen Stadt wiederzusehen! 🗺️
It was a nice route. You get to places you wouldn't otherwise walk to yourself. Nice assignments with interesting information.
😊 Heel erg bedankt voor jullie enthousiaste review! Wat leuk om te horen dat jullie genoten hebben van de route en plekken hebben ontdekt waar je anders niet zo snel zou komen. Fijn dat jullie de opdrachten leuk vonden en de informatie interessant vonden. We hopen jullie snel in een andere stad weer te mogen verwelkomen! 🗺️
Monica was extremely informative. The tour hit major viewing points of both Buda and Pest sides. Nice mixture of views of the city.
😊 Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad you enjoyed seeing the major viewpoints across both Buda and Pest. Just to clarify, World City Trail is a self-guided experience through our app rather than a tour with a live guide such as Monica, so this review may have been intended for a different tour operator. We hope you enjoy your next adventure! 🗺️
We have done a couple of these tours. Definitely a great way to explore a new city and get to know where things are the first day. We even revisited some places that we’d seen along the way. I’d greatly recommend it. And it was lovely to do it by yourself rather than being on a walking tour with a massive group like we’d previously seen
😊 Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear that you’ve enjoyed several of our tours and find them a great way to get your bearings in a new city on the first day. We love that you even revisited some of the places you discovered along the way. And having the freedom to explore without a large group is exactly what self-guided travel is all about! We hope to welcome you in another city soon! 🗺️
We thought we would get a tour for the most important sights and a tour to ride the bike the best through the city. Unfortunately, it mostly showed us parks and after the first three sights we stopped doing the tour. If you already saw most of the most popular sights and wanna dive deeper into the story of Budapest, this might be for you, but if you want a tour for bike/E-Scooter that shows the most important sights, I wouldn't recommend it. The app itself works very well.
Thank you for your valuable feedback!
Highly recommend this activity as a great fun way to see the city. Not overly strenuous - clues easy to navigate but also make you think 😜. Can take your time with as many regular king stops as you require! Really good value for money.
Thank you for your valuable feedback!
