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

5.00Julia led a fantastic walking tour that showcased Budapest’s rich history and iconic spots. It was delightful to discover those charming little sculptures scattered throughout the city. Her stories about each landmark were both captivating and informative, making learning about Budapest a breeze. The pace was manageable, though it did start to wear on us after two hours. She also introduced us to the city’s public transport, including the bus and the adorable yellow subway. I believe the fare was included, but I might have overlooked that in the tour details. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

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.
