What a fantastic 4hr Budapest Walking Tour - worth every penny! - We only had two days in Budapest so we needed a very efficient walking tour to help us get our bearings. Gabby was amazing! Her knowledge of the city’s history along with her willingness to understand what our interests were led to a delightful 1/2 day tour. We used the metro and buses to cover a lot of ground. Our tour included a cup of coffee (or tea) and a delightful Budapest cake. Gabby also called the railway company on our behalf to help navigate some tricky questions about where our train to Bucharest was departing from (the main station was undergoing some renovations). Very tricky to manage Hungarian - but Gabby’s English was 100% fluent and conversational. Yes, this walking tour costs a bit more than many of the others - however, I maintain that you only get what you pay for. Just getting to Budapest from Australia cost an arm and a leg, so ‘skimping on the pate’ and hoping to save a few bucks is (in my humble opinion) both foolish and a false economy. For the wise traveller - THIS is the private walking tour you won’t regret paying for. Thanks Gabby - we had a great time and learned heaps about your beautiful city. Enjoy….

Such a fun day - Loved our time with Veronika seeing the sights and sounds of Budapest. She was a lot of fun to walk with and learn about the city. Had some great suggestions at our cake and coffee stop and was very accommodating in tailoring our tour given we had some potential crossover sites on a tour the next day. Loved taking the bus up to Buda Castle and seeing Mattyas Church and everything up there, as well as walking around the bustle of the Pest side.

Book right now! The best tour guide! - Gabriella was absolutely fantastic! I would highly suggest anyone reading this to hire her. She was so flexible and accommodating. The airline lost our luggage and she altered our tour to be indoors during the winter. She is so friendly and knowledgable. I did not know much about the culture and history. She made it all come alive! Also, you experience the bathes. It was truly a highlight of my life! When we visit again, we will be looking forward to more of her wonderful tours!
