Great day out. - The tour was amazing. We had been to Budapest before and had thought we had seen the main attractions but the guide showed us soo much more. So many interesting sites near the main attractions. We also got to see the wonderfully decorated foyers of the opera house and the city baths.

New York City in Budapest - OMG! This is a must do walking city tour in Budapest. Our tour Guide Fanni was the best! She was fun, energetic, and knowledgeable. There were 11 of us on the tour and she managed to become friends with all of us. I highly recommend this walking tour because you stop at a lot of places, the sights are amazing, it’s worth the price, lunch and public transportation fee is included.

Full day in Budapest - Enjoyed our day with Fanni. She very enthusiastically showed us around both sides of the Danube and we saw many beautiful sites and learned some history of Budapest along the way. We both walked and took public transportation.

Great family tour with Fanni - We were a group of 6 (4 adults, 2 kids) and spent a wonderful day with Fanni. Her knowledge of the culture and city is unmatched! She was excellent with our two children (ages 5 & 8) and even gave my youngest a piggy back ride towards the end of the day. The booking process was easy and communication via email was prompt. Highly recommend!
