This by far was the best tour we booked! I was expecting the generic touristy type of tour but Ferenc made the tour so special. From his deep historical knowledge to incorporating it into how it shaped their culture and even political views today! My husband and I heavily recommend this tour to anyone. And the coffee and cake location was on the tourist trail, but it was definitely charming and authentic. If you book this tour, I recommend asking for Ferenc. Honestly just the highlight of our vacation!
Great Introduction to The Danube

Not sure if others cancelled but my husband & I had our guide all to ourselves! We saw all the key locations on castle hill and our guide explained everything to a T. It was a long time ago (May 2018) and I can’t remember our guide’s name. But she was outstanding. It was a great introduction to Budapest and a great pre-cruise day!
Impressive

We had an excellent tour with Ferenc. In addition to showing us the sights in the castle district, his knowledge of Hungarian history and the background he provided on the area enhanced our overall experience. We highly recommend this tour.
Great tour, excellent guide.

Karoly was an excellent guide. He was extremely well informed and gave us a fantastic tour. It’s well worth using a guide as you get so much more out of your visit. He gave us good tips for places to see and eat during our weekend.
Fantastic way to know Budapest.
