5.00Tiberiu was extremely flexible in setting up the tour and acommodating me even though my request was on short notice. I saw everything I expected and then some. Not only was he very konwledgeable about the Ancient Rome and its history in Hungary, on top of that hes very nice, well spoken in german and english, and loves to share about the topics he knows about - even beyond the scope of the tour, so i came away with a few more ideas on what else to do in my time in Budapest. Will for sure reach out if I am around again!
Tiberius is great!

5.00Tiberius was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the subject, clearly excited and enthusiastic about the tour. This tour is a must for anyone interested in Roman history. That said, there is a fair amount of walking. I logged 6K so wear comfortable shoes and clothes.
Tour of Aquincum Roman museum and grounds

5.00We took a tour of Aquincum with Tiberiu Condulescu and thoroughly enjoyed his pace and enthusiasm. The tour lasted just over two hours with a start in the excellent museum and then a tour of the extensive excavated sites. I would not have understood the details of the site without his expert guidance.

5.00It was really nice to visit different parts of the city and learn about the Roman history that’s tied to Hungary. I looked at a lot of reviews for tours like this one, and many people said they could’ve just done it on their own. That’s fair and you can look at a place and guess what it might’ve been or how it was used. You can visit the museum and look at things and just “see”. But I think this tour was great for people who want a bit more. It wasn’t just “this is a bathhouse” or “that’s a villa.” It gave some background on how people lived back then and why certain buildings were built the way they were. If you enjoy history and like understanding the stories behind things, it adds a lot.

5.00Tibi is a local, experienced guide who is informative, pleasant and a good driver. He took us to numerous sites that I wouldn't have found, and knew history and political background of various historical sites. We enjoyed ourselves immensely.

5.00We had a group tour of over 4 hours and it was worth it every minute. Learned a lot about Budapest and its history. The suggestions of the guide (lunch restaurant, ruin bars) were spot on!
EXCELLENT TOUR GUIDE FOR BUDAPEST AND SURROUNDING AREA

5.00Excellent tour of Roman Acquincum! This was the 2nd time that I booked a private group tour with TIberius. He is incredibly knowledgeable about Roman history and daily life and he put together a custom tour for us that included some additional Roman sites before we arrived at the Acquincum. All of the guests on this tour were amazed at how much they learned in one morning. From the moment you contact him, everything runs smoothly and he is always willing to make sure the tour is a perfect fit in terms of interests of the people on the tour. I can HIGHLY RECOMMEND him as a guide for ANY TOURS IN AND AROUND BUDAPEST. I've been organizing seminars and small group tours for over 25 years and Tibi is one of THE BEST GUIDES I have encountered anywhere in the world. His high level of enthusiasm and expertise are matched by his ease of making complex ideas easily understandable and he really connects with the people on the tour.
