4.00Earpiece uncomfortable - subpar. Good tour experience. Guide was very knowledgeable and personable to all
Very rushed city tour

1.00It is a very quick rushed trip around the city with very little time to look at it and take it all in. Not even much time for a comfort break. The tour is only really 2 hrs 30 mins, with last hour walking through Parliament guided by others.
Outstanding Tour of Budapest

5.00This tour exceeded my expectations. Despite US VP JD Vance being in town, we were able to see everything advertised and more. Ben was an outstanding guide who enhanced the tour experience considerably. It was great to see so much of Budapest and tour the Parliament building!

3.00Very superficial tour of Budapest—very little time at Buda castle; possible LONG wait at Parliament. We had only 10 minutes at the castle. We waited 45 minutes for the tour of Parliament. Our guides gave no information that waiting would be required.

Great tour

5.00I recently joined the Grand City Tour in Budapest, and it was fantastic! The panoramic views from Buda Hills took my breath away, and our guide made every stop very interesting and informative. The walk through the Castle District, visiting Matthias Church and Fishermen's Bastion, was a highlight! Crossing to Pest, we drove past Europe’s largest synagogue, Heroes Square with photo stop, St Stephan's church and other sites. The journey through the city was well-paced, allowing us to soak in the sights. The guide bought our tickets to the majestic Parliament, which was a great experience with audio guide. Overall, this tour is a great value for money. Viator always deliver

Making the Best of a Snowy Tour

4.00We appreciated the tour bus due to cold, snowy weather. We wish the bus windows had had windshield wipers in order to better see all the attractions our guide was pointing out. Well organized. P.S. Recommend bilingual instruction with more separation between languages.
