My family had a wonderful tour of beautiful Budapest with Yulia. You can't really go to a city like this without getting the history and I don't think there's a better way to do it than a walking tour. Yulia went at our pace (which was important because we were with our nine year old) and was sure to cover the highlights we wanted to see. But wear your walking shoes, you will cover a lot of ground!
A good first day in Budapest to get your bearings

Agnes tailored the tour to our liking, and went to a bookstore/cafe and gave us time within the Bohemian part of Budapest to explore. She knew a lot of historical context and was able to provide a local's perspective on the ruin bars, advent, and more. She was not offended when we chose to cut the tour a little short so we could have lunch by the church and walk the market.

Lőrinc was an exceptional host for my 4-hour Budapest tour. He was knowledgeable, warm, and incredibly welcoming. I felt safe, as if I were exploring the city with an old friend. His English is excellent, and his worldly background, having studied in Japan and India. He was flexible and very agreeable, and after getting to know your preferences, he took the lead to make the most of the tour time. We visited as many attractions and sites as we could in our short time! We explored the city by public transportation, visited historic landmarks, enjoyed beautiful views, and covered so much ground in a short time. Because it was a private tour, we moved at our own pace and tailored the itinerary exactly to what I wanted. Lőrinc was flexible, patient, and always accommodating. I only had one day in Budapest, but thanks to him, I was able to see all the major attractions with clear, insightful history at each stop. I could not ask for a better way to explore the city. If I was doing this by myself, I wouldn't have been able to get from point a to b as quickly, and without the small details he was able to point out. It was perfect. Highly recommend! Thank you Lőrinc!!!
Czaba is a great tour guide!

The walking tour gave me an opportunity to see this beautiful city up close. The city seems well planned out where it gives you many areas for pedestrians to walk in areas to just enjoy the view and the beauty. A lovely city. The mini statues were nice touch to learn about the artist, Mihály Kolodko. It’s such a fun addition to the tour to try to find these mini statues throughout the city. Thank you, Julia I learned about the history, culture and the charm of Budapest. I hope to come back and spend more time.
