5.00Angie was the best tour guide I've ever had! She personalized the tour based on my interests, was very well prepared and incredibly knowledgeable about so many interesting topics. She shared her personal knowledge about the larger context of Hungary's complicated history, and we talked about so many topics, and saw so many sites and interesting places, often a little off the beaten path. I so appreciated this perspective. I learned so much, and Angie's generosity with information helped me craft a marvelous 4 days in Budapest. I can't thank Angie enough for a very satisfying tour. WOW!

4.00The tour was great. Our guide was flexible with our interests. Be sure to wear walking shoes as there are steps and hills ( not too bad). It is beneficial to have the Hungarian currency if you use public transport.
Great time with Julia!

5.00We had an excellent tour of Budapest with our tour guide Attilla. Attila reached out to us after we had booked the tour to let us know what areas he planned to show us and asked if we had other areas we would like to see and he revised his schedule to also include areas we wanted to see. Attilla was very informative about the history of Budapest and all its beautiful buildings. All in all it was a great tour and you won’t be disappointed if you have Attilla as your guide.
Highly recommended.

5.00Julia was a very informative guide. She reached out to me after booking to find out our areas of interest. We covered a lot of ground and learned a great deal about the history of Buda and Pest side of the city. We were blessed with seeing the cherry blossoms in full bloom. It was very nice having a private tour so we could ask questions and keep up a good pace to see and learn more.
Wonderful Guide and Tour
