I highly recommend taking this tour, especially if you’re new to Budapest and want to get a feel for the city’s charm. My sister and I spent the afternoon with Anita, and it was like walking the city with an old friend. She’s very warm and personable, and the tour felt effortless. I loved the intimacy of the experience — just the three of us walking and talking, and I feel like we got a real grasp of Budapest, which has helped us plan out the rest of our visit and make the most of out time. Anita also had great suggestions on what to see and restaurants to check out on our own. It was a great experience.

Anita was delightful. She was so knowledgeable and took us to unexpected places we would never have found if we toured on our own. She also gave us phenomenal recommendations for restaurants, public transportation, and other sites to visit during the rest of our stay in Budapest. Anita was relaxed and so hospitable. We are still eating leftover strudel from our tour.

Petra was an excellent guide, fun and knowledgeable. We chose the 5:00pm tour, but St. Stephen's Basilica closes at 6 so we were told we needed to reverse the itinerary to make it in time. We didn't see the Jewish Quarter or Simpla Kert, but instead we stopped for strudel. I don't recommend the 5:00pm time, but the tour was excellent.

Eszter was a wonderful tour guide for our family of 4. The 3-hour walking tour was a great introduction to Budapest. We enjoyed our time with her and would definitely recommend this tour to others!

Walked for miles with 0 communication in between spots. Even ended it early because it was so bad. Good English though when she did talk. And it was only the 3 of us on the tour.

Perfect way to see the essentials. Knowledgeable, friendly guide and efficient on-foot coverage. Exactly what I’d hoped for.

If you have not been to Budapest before and you want an overall overview of the city highlights plus the history, this is the tour for you. It is a one on one tour, no hearing devices required, no flag to follow , no crowd to navigate. Our guide Petra was a local girl and very knowledgeable on the history.

This was our first visit to Budapest and did not know a lot of the city's history. Our tour guide, Anita Barta was exceptional. She walked us on a story from the very beginning of the city, including from the migration of the Magyars through the heartbreaking occupation by the Nazi's and the solum shoes memorial for the victims of the Holocaust along the shores of the Danube. We also experienced the transition from Soviet influence to today's independent Hungary, including visiting a statue of Ronald Regan in independence square! We had a delicious snack of local strudels and finished at a festive Christmas market at Saint Stephen's. Anita did an excellent job and we strongly recommend this tour.
