Wonderful guide, picturesque sights, - This was a wonderful experience mainly because of our tour guide -Gabriel. He took us around the major sights in a comfortable car. His narrative and engaging style made the tour very interesting. He gave us enough time to enjoy each location while keeping us hooked onto his stories. He also suggested some vantage points for nice pictures. He was friendly and very welcoming. Thanks Gabriel for making this a memorable city tour.

One of the best tour guides I had - Can't thank enough Gabor for the amazing tour around Budapest. Gabor is very knowledgeable, knew the answers to every question I asked. He is very flexible - made himself available earlier than the booking time because I wanted to start earlier. Very easy going and has great scense of humor. Stopped when I needed to stop. Offered to take pictures. And the car was nice and clean. One of the best tour guides i had. Definitely recommend Gabor as preferred tour guide.

Captivating Budapest - We had an excellent experience with our guide, Gabor during our visit to Budapest. We booked Gabor over a 3 day period. He took us to all the main landmarks, explaining the different sites and also giving us some of the historical context. One highlight was the horse show we attended, which showcased traditional Hungarian horsemanship. We also visited the wine region where we were able to taste local wines and enjoy the beautiful countryside. Gabor took us on a food tour which was simply delicious. We tried many local dishes such as sausages, goulash and Lángos. Gabor was knowledgeable, friendly, and ensured we had a great time exploring Budapest and the surrounding area. Highly recommended.

Excellent private tour to see and learn about beautiful Budapest - Terrific way to spend the day in Budapest. I have fallen in love with this city as a result of this tour and learning so much of the rich history. “George” our tour guide was very knowledgeable, open to talking about his own experiences and lovely to be with as we toured the key sites of Budapest. What a stunning city! He left us wanting to come back for more. We were very comfortable driving in a clean Mercedes and it was a nice mix with some walking. Highly recommend this tour. They were exceptionally professional. Private is the way to go and this tour was very affordable.

Fabulous morning in Budapest with Sofia ! - Wow , sums up our 4 hour car tour of beautiful Budapest . Our guide Sofia was absolutely delightful not to mention quite the historian . She grew up in Budapest and was a wealth of knowledge on Hungarian history which for my husband was a treat .
The three of us covered both sides of Budapest and also learned about the day to day life here for the locals as we saw how magical this city is. Plenty of photo opportunities as well as tips of places to go to eat and shop on our own.
One of her suggestions was that we see the city from of the best views, the Sky Bar at the Hilton ( which wasn’t open yet during our tour) so we went there the next evening and she was right, the 360 degree view was phenomenal .
We also had a stop at a local bakery to sample the different strudels and pastries that Budapest has to offer , it didn’t disappoint ! We would definitely recommend Sofia and would love to return to Budapest and do one of her countryside tours .

Had a great time.. - Time very well spent. Gabor is knowledgeable, enthusiastic and a proud Hungarian. His qualities manifested in his time with us (my wife and I) and we were very happy with the service he provided. It is cold in Budapest- so his comfortable car lend additional value for the experience. Overall, we had a great time.
