It was a wonderful tour. Our guide, Clara, was excellent. She was very knowledgeable and informative. It covered areas of the city we had not explored and we thoroughly enjoyed our time.

There should have been some time given for buying souvenirs and visiting restrooms. Multi lingual tours take more time in explanations and less time to visit places.

The country and places were beautiful. From my experience on previous tours I’ve been on, this one felt short. The guide’s job is to make everyone feel included, but as a solo traveler, I felt left out since the guide always gravitated toward the larger group.
Fantastic!

We enjoyed a fantastic introduction to Budapest with Kristina and Peter. We were picked up from our hotel in a very comfortable vehicle and managed to pop by many of the main attractions in the city. Christina has a wealth of historical knowledge making the tour so special. Thank you!
Highly recommend

My experience with Dora in Budapest was absolutely outstanding. She’s incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems, and her passion for sharing that knowledge truly shines through. You can tell she has years of experience—every story she told felt authentic and engaging, and she knew how to make each stop come to life. Dora was also very personable and attentive, making sure everyone in the group felt comfortable and involved. She tailored the tour perfectly to our interests and answered every question with impressive detail. I left with a much deeper appreciation for Budapest thanks to her expertise and enthusiasm. If you’re visiting Budapest and want a guide who’s both professional and genuinely passionate about what she does, I can’t recommend Dora highly enough!
