Informative overview of the Buda Castle area - Our guide was a uni student who shared her Hungarian heritage to kick off the tour. She was knowledgeable, well prepared with information to share with the group. She encouraged group participation and invited questions. Her polite and pleasant manner meant she was very approachable. Great tour seeing the key highlights with the history, context and several funny stories for good measure!

Our tour guide Pana was very knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. gave us not only interesting information about the history of Hungary and the buildings in the castle complex, as well as current day life in Budapest. Excellent value for the price. Would highly recommend.

A must when visiting Budapest - A must when visiting Budapest! Our guide was called Panna (sry if the name is spelt wrong)! She was very knowledgeable, funny and gave not only a historical insight on the tour, but also the politics in the country and the student experience! Remember to bring cash to pay the guides!! They deserve every bit and more so!
