5.00Our tour guide, Marianna, was an absolute gem, blending deep knowledge with infectious enthusiasm that made every stop feel like a hidden treasure, waiting to be uncovered. With a knack for storytelling and a genuine passion for the places we visited, they turned a simple tour into an unforgettable experience! A tour with Marianna is not to be missed.
You must watch as they turn out the lights on all the major attractions go- who knew they did this? Our great guide.

5.00Our wonderful guide was Ors (his first name) Orzan. He was funny, knowledgeable, and tailored the tour to perfection. Request him if you can. He picked us up at the hotel on time and asked what we wanted to see most. He then made his recommendations as to where to go. We started at Heroes Square close to our hotel. He bought us chimney cakes at a local kiosk. There was a performance at the Opera so he got the ushers to let us inside to take photos. We all cried at the sight of the baby shoes on the bank of the Danube in front of Parliament - a moving memorial to the Jewish individuals murdered by the Nazis and the Arrow Cross. We stopped for photos of all the major sites. We never felt rushed. He gave us great recommendations on where to eat. We ended the night at the Citadel watching the lights on all the major attractions go out at the same time! Who knew they turned out the lights each night? Our delightful guide, Ors, knew!
