Itinerary: we’ll start our promenade at the Buda side of the 170-year-old Chain Bridge. We’ll walk through the Castle Garden Bazaar, believe us, it's the most elegant way to get to the top of the Castle hill. We'll show you the last remains of the medieval castle from the 13th century. We'll take a walk around the 18th century Baroque palace, so that we can share with you all its secrets. We’ll walk around the colorful buildings and cobblestoned streets of the Buda Castle district all the way to the truly amazing Matthias Church, and you'll definitely have a wow moment enjoying the view over the Pest side at the Fisherman's Bastion.

Katalin was very nice, informative and easily fit into our group. We never felt rushed. She told us what we would do and the we did the things she said. Her historical knowledge combined with her sense of humor made the experience unforgettable.

Today my wife and I as well as another couple traveling with us had the pleasure of touring Buda, Castle Hill, and the area around Parliament Hall with Zsuzsanna. Trained as a teacher, her passion is that of a tour guide and she combines the two to provide interesting lessons on the history and society of the local area. It was very interesting to hear her perspective on a wide range of topics related to life in Budapest over the last 80 years, especially as she compared what the generations of her family had gone through living in this very area. I would strongly recommend her skills as a guide for anyone wanting to understand the nuances of life and the history of this area.

I signed up for this one-on-one guided tour of the Buda district to get a better understanding of the history of this region. "Budapest Wonderguides" were very professional right from the start -- answering my questions through email in a very timely manner, customizing my tour, etc. I toured with Zsuzsa and she was very nice and professional and provided excellent insights to the historical elements of this region. We walked all the way from Gellert Hill to Fisherman's Bastion and Matthias Church, covering most of the district. I would definitely use this company to hire a guide for parts of the city you would like to gain a better understanding of. Overall an excellent experience.
