4.00I attended the Buda free tour with Giulio and my assessment is very positive regarding the organization. Giulio is an extremely prepared and professional guide: he never lost sight of the group, constantly making sure that we were all present between stages. Along the way we saw externally iconic sites such as: The Church of Matthias The Castle of Buda The Fisherman's Bastion and various historical monuments. My point of view: From the point of view of content, Giulio provides a very precise and detailed historical reconstruction. Personally, I found the exposition a bit too much like an academic "lesson"; I would have liked more involvement through anecdotes, legends or small local curiosities that make listening lighter and more tantalising. Tips for travellers: For those who love history: If you really want to learn about Buda, Giulio is the guide for you. Giulio even made us witness the changing of the guard at the Sándor Palace! A very scenic moment that is worth seeing.
They have everything, professional guides and amenities.

5.00We did two free tours today, the imperial and Buda Castle, both with Sandra and we are very happy. This is our first time on a Free tour, it hasn’t seemed enjoyable, we have learned a lot of history from Budapest, and we have also laughed a lot. We were with two little ones and the 5-year-old has been attentive to everything Sandra told and loved it too. Tomorrow we'll do the Jewish Quarter. Thank you!!!
Very good choice to know Buddha

5.00A luxury tour: historical context and comparison with the present, a lot of rigor and anecdotes. Luz added some extra during the visit. Highly recommended. In the afternoon we finished the day with a visit to the Museum of Terror.
