5.00It was easy to find the meeting point. There was a minimal initial cost. The guide was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, guiding us past several key landmarks in Budapest and also giving information on Hungarian language, culture and history. There were around 16 people in our group and we toured for just over two hours.
Just the right amount of information.

5.00Judit was our guide and gave us plenty of information but we were not overwhelmed. Just the right amount of history. We then went back to some of the locations afterwards for more information and pics etc.
