Best decision of the day - Claudia was absolutely brilliant! Her tour was so fun, funny, and informative. She covered so much ground and told us all about history, politics, modern day goings-on, and general fun facts. I know how to read horse statues now! Who knew leg placement meant something! Honestly I majored in history and I learned more about Budapest in this 2 hour tour than I did in a 4 year degree 😅 (maybe that's on me but I think Claudia deserves endless credit for how much info she is able to pack into such a short time). Honestly can't recommend it enough. 💯/10 A++ would do again without a single hesitation

Totally waisted time -... - Totally waisted time - tour guide took us from one monument to another and did not mention a single fact about its history. He talked about himself only. I did understand how a company with a hifgh reputation such as Viator can do business wuth someone of such low qualifications.
