My guide Bálint was outstanding! He was punctual, accommodating, knowledgeable, and personable. I will look for him to do another tour when I return to Budapest.

This was a great introduction to Budapest. Our guide was friendly and informative. He combined walking with public transit. The strudel stop was a treat!

Balazs was an extremely personable and knowledgeable guide. His passion for the city was palpable, which enhanced the tour greatly. He was open to questions and encouraged an interactive tour. He went above and beyond and offered some great recommendations for other things to do around the city. I highly recommend this tour with Balazs.

Don’t remember what the tour guide name was but she was not professional nor friendly very arrogant in her demeanor rude and boring long commentaries we couldn’t wait for the tour to end . Tried very hard to stick with the tour that had two other nice tourists She is a bitter person that should not be a tourist guide and work in hospitality!!!!!!

Our tour guide Monika was so friendly and insightful. My Grandson and I ended up being the only ones on the tour. We learned so much and now we have ideas to see some of the places we visited. The strudel stop was very delicious and it gave us the energy to explore the Buda side. If you have the chance to take this tour, definitely do it!
