5.00This was a wonderful tour. Ursula was our guide and she was awesome!! She was able to meet us at our hotel, which helped a lot. We were new to Budapest that day. She helped us learn how to manage pubic transportation, which was incredibly helpful. Ursula was so incredibly knowledgeable about Budapest and its history. She shared personal stories to help us understand what living in Budapest is truly like. We LOVED this tour. At the end, she shared with us her favorite bakery at Buda Castle. It was a fabulous day. Take this tour! The views are epic!

5.00My wife and I spent three days in Budapest. Arriving in the morning from Prague, we had a 2 pm private tour that lasted about 3 1/2 hours. We walked from St. Stephen (Istvan) Basilica on the Pest side of the Danube (Duna) across the bridge to the Buda side. What we enjoyed was the leisurely pace since it was a private tour, yet we saw so much: the Parliament, Budapest Castle and all the buildings of import as well as some of the other important sights such as the shoes memorial on the Danube commemorating the shooting of thousands of Jews killed by the Nazi-aligned Arrow Cross party. The architecture of Budapest is spectacular and Diana pointed out the significance of the various sites. Highly recommended walking tour.

5.00Zsusuanna was so pleasant and friendly. She was a very good story teller who gave us a great history of Hungary. She easily navigated the city and made our 5 mile walk relaxing and enjoyable.
