Brilliant guide made this an extra special tour - An excellent guide, Pana, took us on a brilliant tour of the castle and surrounding areas. Although still a student she had an excellent knowledge and obvious love of Budapest. She gave us lots of interesting facts at every stop and made sure to look after everyone in the group.

Wonderful Overview of the Buda Castle District - This walking tour is a "must do". You learn about the history of the city, the country, and the Buda Castle district. In a 2-hour low stress walking tour, you get great views of the Danube river along with the beautiful venues and landmarks of the city of Pest for high above in Buda. You will walk by St. Mathias church, the Budapest government buildings, the royal palace among other things. What makes this particular walking tour memorable was our tour guide, Panna. She was enthusiastic, well informed, funny and highly engaged. She weaved stories/legends with actual history to make the content enjoyable and relatable to the group. Panna fielded numerous questions and encouraged audience participation throughout the tour.
