5.00Not only were the views of the Castle area exceptional, so was our guide, Kaiser Leslie. He explained many of the urban myths and legends along with historical facts,
Fantastic tour! Highly recommended for people intested in learning all about Budapest's history!

5.00My wife, daughter and I loved this tour! We visited many cities during our recent vacation and Budapest was our favorite, partly because of this tour. Leslie picked us up at our AirBnB and guided us to the bus, which took us to the Buda Castle District. He shared the fascinating and complex story of Hungary and Budapest and really brought history to life. The break at the cafe for cake and drinks was a really nice (and delicious) touch. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn about Budapest have a great time in the process!
Best tour ever!

5.00We had the private Buda Castle Walking Tour with Adam Katai and it was nothing short of AMAZING!! Adam was prompt courteous and so knowledgeable . He took us to some really cool hidden places. The tour was well paced and we saw so much and learned a lot about the Hungarian culture. I can’t recommend this tour and Adam enough.

3.00We had a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. The castle district is interesting, but most of the buildings are in the middle of refurbishment. It was good to hear the history of the buildings and the castles, but it was not as engaging as we had hoped. That said, it’s a great way to learn the history of the Buda side and the castles district.

5.00Ferenc was great. He was on time, interesting to talk to, and friendly. Unfortunately, we had to cut our tour very short due to a family emergency. Ferenc was very accommodating. He helped us back to our hotel and advised us with logistics. Highly recommended tour overall.

5.00We were the only participants so had a “private tour” and guide tailored the tour to what we wanted to see and do. He even guided us 45min longer than we had booked! Then helped us get a taxi back to our hotel (as by then we were hot and tired). And my awful as I can not remember his name but will say he is kind and very knowledgeable guide! Highly recommend!

5.00Ferenc was our guild for the tour . It was our first full day in Budapest and he enabled us to feel part of this beautiful city. Very knowledgable, we explored Buda Castle district with ease, with so much to see on a hot day . It could not have been better organised.
Buda is beautiful

5.00Excellent tour! Ferenc was our guide. He was very knowledgeable, both with the history of Budapest and current events. Ferenc is very personable, the tour was like being shown around town by an old friend.
