5.00Our tour guide Balazs was very knowledgeable about the history of Budapest. He showed us a lot of the most important sights and gave a lot of context. Also he made sure to react to our wishes, needs and question's. A great way to get to know the city.

4.00The tour guide was great. However we changed the starting point location with Viator and they failed to convey the information to the tour guide so we lost a half hour of the tour. The guide made it up to us by completing part of the tour by tram.
A good first day overview...

5.00A good first day overview of Budapest. Enjoyed walking around the sites. We took the subway to the other side of the river and this made later navigating the public transportation system must easier. Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and interesting.
Balazs was the ultimate tour guide. So passionate and knowledgeable about Budapest—the history, culture and current day

5.00We had a fantastic day with our guide Julia. She was extremely knowledgeable on everything on the walk and was so easy to listen to and chat to. It was like having a friend there in a walk. Julia took us to some great spots that we would have never discovered if we had been on our own. In summary we highly recommend this excellent personal experience and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Fantastic walking tour of Budapest with Yulia!

5.00My 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

5.00Agnes 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.
