Great tour for first time visitors to Budapest

5.00This tour was a great introduction to Budapest. We were a small group of three and really appreciated the relaxed pace and well-planned route through both Buda and Pest. Our guide, Bea, was wonderful! She was knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to listen to. She shared the history in a way that felt engaging and approachable. We left feeling oriented and excited to explore more of the city. Highly recommend for first-time visitors.

5.00Alexandra was a fantastic guide who easily accommodated an extra stop when we asked. She was very knowledgeable and gave us a great overview of Budapest. The tour itself covered almost everything we wanted to see and allowed us to explore the Buda side after the tour. She also gave good restaurant suggestions.

5.00This was an excellent tour of Budapest with tour guide Anna. She was very knowledgeable about all the exhibits we saw and took the time to explain the Hungarian history through the ages as well as each exhibit. Anna gave us time to take pictures and explained the transport system to us which we used for the other two days we were in the city. Our three hours wet by too quickly but they were very informative and knowledgeable. Thank you Anna for a great day even if it was raining.
Great tour of Budapest!
