Fantastic tour guide for a custom group tour of Budapest

5.00Suzy met us at our Airbnb and led us on a very informative and fun tour of Pest & Buda, customized to our interests. Her knowledge is encyclopedic, but what really stood out is how much she loves her country and its history. Her enthusiasm is infectious. We left feeling much more connected to Hungary.
Beautiful day in Budapest with Suzy!

5.00Suzy was an excellent guide with a wealth of knowledge about Budapest, Hungary and the Magyars. She was a wonderful guide for our family as she took us through the city using the metro, buses, and the underground. We saw so much and learned a lot about the history of this beautiful place and the culture. We stopped in churches, took pictures and she helped pick out some restaurants for later in the trip. She was a wonderful tour guide. I’d highly recommend using her services.
Wonderful Overview of Budapest

5.00Suzy gave us a thorough in depth tour of the city on both sides of the Danube. Not only did we learn relevant history but how to ride on public transportation, valuable restaurant tips and in which cafe to enjoy the best torte! This was time well spent and set us up for the rest of our time in the city.
A well worth tour.

5.00A day well spent exploring Budapest with Suzy who loves what she does and is very knowledgeable in Hungarian history, culture & art. She gave us an overview and guided us to places we shouldn’t miss seeing. She also got us to taste the best goulash is town. Came out of the tour learning so much of the Hungarian history. If we visit Budapest again will definitely book Suzy again and will highly recommend her to anyone visiting Budapest. Thank you Suzy for a lovely day exploring your beautiful city.
Great Tour- so much history

5.00Our guide met us at our hotel and gave us an overview. From there we hopped on a bus and off to Buda! We learned a not about the large scale engineering projects and the took the funicular to the top. So much history— lots of construction and it is amazing how much the Hungarian government is doing to re- model/ construct the palace and surrounding buildings. It shows the strength and pride of the Hungarians. After taking some less travelled paths, one with an overlook of Buda neighborhoods- we headed to the church- I think you get the idea I guide was knowledgeable, very proud of her country- as she should be. Back over to Pech where we saw w writhing using bus and subway. Even had time to learn about the best desserts and try some Great afternoon!

A standing listening tour

2.00It was very hot. Our guide was determined to tell us as much history as possible which involved a lot of standing around, sometimes in the sun. We were 5 persons aged late 60s, early 70s. We found out later from other guides or from google that not all she told us was true. We actually wanted a sightseeing tour, not a history lesson. We didn’t see that many sights due to the standing around while she talked.
Excellent Budapest walking tour

5.00Suzy was an amazing tour guide. She customized the tour for what we wanted. We hit all of the major sites and she told us others we should see. And we learned so much about the country’s history. Would highly recommend.

5.00It’s hard to write a totally positive review without sounding phony, but try as I might, I can’t find a single negative thing to say. Our guide, Suzy, was extremely knowledgeable, passionate about Budapest, charming, Interesting and interested, flexible and generous with her time and advice. She took us to the iconic sights and local hotspots, on trains, trams, and buses effortlessly, jumping the lines with her various badges, not just speaking fluently but thinking with our best interests in mind. We agreed that Suzy was the best guide we’ve ever had. Look no further.
