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!

It’s a comprehensive but quick overview of the Pest side. Buda we didn’t cover as much. Guide did a good job of explaining the history but she had a soft voice and it was hard to hear and understand her. We’ve had far better guides who have done a fantastic job and this one was ok compared to those. Guide wasn’t as enthusiastic.

The walking tour, hosted by Greg, was informative and great! Greg is a native of Budapest and so very insightful and full of information and stories about the city and the countries history. He is very open to questions and in fact, asks frequently if there are any questions. But Greg also provides useful, first time visitor information and tips. This is a wonderful experience and the apple strudel stop is delicious!

The tour was conducted in a small group of just six people, which made the experience much more personal and engaging. Our guide, Greg, was exceptionally knowledgeable and did a fantastic job not only showing us around Budapest but also sharing fascinating historical context, subtle details, and local nuances that we would have otherwise missed. His insights and storytelling brought the city to life and made the experience truly memorable
