We felt the guide needed to explain less and walk more. We made very long stops and felt the stops could have been more interesting.

It was a very small group and the tour guide was very careful to make sure we were in the shade and to walk at a pace that was good for everyone. She was very considerate indeed and have a great run down of the history of Budapest.

Oliver was a friendly, knowledgeable guide who took the time to find out our interests and ensured the tour covered those, plus more. We covered a lot of ground in 2 hours, both in steps and in Hungarian history. Also given advice on where and what to eat/drink. 10/10.

The historical Pest tour guided by Adam was an impressive journey through Hungarian history and the development of Buda and Pest into one city Budapest. Because Adam lives and studied in Budapest he has enormous knowledge and is excellent at explaining historical, cultural and social developments. Adam also tells the legends around Budapest in a very entertaining way and he had an answer to all our questions. I can really recommend the Pest Tour with Adam, he is a perfect guide!
Fascinating historical and cultural tour

Adam is very knowledgeable, and the tour was incredible. The tour was given although we were only three participants. He explained details that made it fascinating. Adam was born and lived in Budapest, so he experienced the historical happenings of the last 50 years and can talk about them in an objective way. Highly recommended!
