One of the best tours ever. Lena was engaging, friendly and very knowledgeable. She answered every question we had, and we enjoyed discussions on a range of topics. thanks for a great time.
Our guide went above and beyond to explain the cultural significance of sights and art. She also pivoted when we were interested in other places and offered to make stops.
Very informative tour. Very interesting . The guide Lena was wonderful . The bars and the art places were very good picked up
Great experience! Seen places you would never find on your own.
What an amazing tour with Lena! This was just what we wanted as we didn’t want a pub crawl, but we did want to experience the ruin bar culture. Lena was fabulous! Really friendly and very knowledgeable about the culture and street art. Out of all the ruin bar tours I’m glad we picked this one as it really was a fabulously awesome tailored tour. Thank you Lena xx
I booked this for me and my new college grad grandson. As it turns out he went by himself. The guide texted me day of trip with specific meetup information and I told my grandson. He reported no problems finding the group near the ferris wheel, which was convenient to our hotel. He had a great time and enjoyed the company and stayed out later than the end of the tour! I never did get to the ruin bars myself, but maybe if I make it again. He thought they were very cool (Grandma's Boomer Word) and reportedly told his sister where to go for her trip.
Awesome tour! Lena is very knowledgeable, and it was a perfect mix of experience while learning about ruin bar history and pest art culture!
Lena was an amazing guide and Budapest is an amazing city! Lena was super knowledgeable about both history and current cultural events, giving perspective to the neighborhoods and people. She was friendly, flexible, and we really enjoyed the tour!
Lena was awesome. Smart, funny, knowledgeable. Not your ordinary tour. Lots of backstreets, hidden bars, street art stories and yes, some real history as well. The 3 hours flew by. Was the highlight of our Budapest trip. Highly recommend!
Fabulous and fun tour which includes some history, lots of street art and the stories behind it, and visits to a few of the ruin bars (which are really interesting and creative - a bit like speakeasies in style). Lena is a fantastic guide. She is full of knowledge about local culture and Hungarian customs. The time absolutely flew by! We chose to try a number of different types of Hungarian drinks Lena recommended, but that was optional. Soft drinks are also available if you don't want to do that. I would recommend this tour to anyone who would like to see one of the more famous areas of Budapest through the eyes of a local or to anyone who enjoys art and local culture. 5*
