1.00I scheduled the 2:30pm tour but the ticket said 10:30am. It was within the 24 hour cancellation window so I couldn’t get a refund. No assistance was available to fix the mistake. Fortunately it only cost me $7
Highly recommended this...

5.00If you haven’t considered a guided tour, then please give this one a go. Buda is beautiful and we were capably guided around it by the ever patient and knowledgable Sophia. We learned a lot about Hungarian history and culture amidst some stunning buildings and townscapes.
