Budapest Overvi - If you have not been to Budapest before and you want an overall overview of the city highlights plus the history, this is the tour for you. It is a one on one tour, no hearing devices required, no flag to follow , no crowd to navigate. Our guide Petra was a local girl and very knowledgeable on the history.

A wonderful introduction to Budapest - This was our first visit to Budapest and did not know a lot of the city's history. Our tour guide, Anita Barta was exceptional. She walked us on a story from the very beginning of the city, including from the migration of the Magyars through the heartbreaking occupation by the Nazi's and the solum shoes memorial for the victims of the Holocaust along the shores of the Danube. We also experienced the transition from Soviet influence to today's independent Hungary, including visiting a statue of Ronald Regan in independence square! We had a delicious snack of local strudels and finished at a festive Christmas market at Saint Stephen's. Anita did an excellent job and we strongly recommend this tour.

Great afternoon with Petra - Wonderful experience spending an afternoon with Petra. She was incredibly kind to meet us at the train station (as our train to Budapest was running late) to begin our tour. She guided us around the key sites of Budapest, explaining the history and cultural relevance of each location. I highly recommend this three-hour tour and it's an extra bonus if you're lucky enough to have Petra as your guide.

Excellent tour guide - Anita was informative and gave a great history of Budapest. She was fun to walk around with and the strudel stop was perfect (I visited that restaurant two more times during my visit!).

Too much vacant air. - Walked for miles with 0 communication in between spots. Even ended it early because it was so bad. Good English though when she did talk. And it was only the 3 of us on the tour.
