4.00This was a fun and different way to explore the Buda Castle District at night. The only thing that would have made it better is to either limit the size of the group or provide headsets. Sometimes it was really hard to hear our guide due to our large group and his accent.

5.00Peter came dressed in the right outfit and was very entertaining. Such an expert on Hungarian history while we walked around the castle.
You need to walk and stand 2 hours on rough terrain.

3.00The trip was not labeled as grueling. We dud not walk up the ramp. Meeting at the top seems like we missed 1/2 the trip. Our guide was animated and interesting but we walked several miles back and forth which seemed unnecessary. The pace was fast for the construction terrain.
Fun and immersive
