5.00Our guide and driver (both named Zoli) were excellent and very considerate as I have a slight walking problem. We were able to tailor the tour to what we wanted to see and Zoli (the guide) was able to get assistance for me whenever I needed it. His knowledge and great sense of humor made our day tour even more interesting. Zoli (the driver) was always there to help us on and off the van and managed to park the van as close as he could to the attraction we were going to. I cannot praise the 2 Zoli's high enough as they have been the best driver and guide we have experienced in 20 years of travelling
Best guide for Budapest!!!

5.00Our tour guide Randy Ziltan was by far the best travel guide in this area. He knew all the history and always made sure we were comfortable and customized the tour to fit our needs. He is an asset to this company and we highly recommend him.
