Wonderful Budapest private walking tour with terrific guide - My husband, our friend traveling with us, and I all agree that our private walking tour was wonderful. Gabriella is a terrific guide. She is friendly and fun, and she presents history and all information in a way that is so engaging that you never lose interest. We had plenty of time to ask questions and take photos. We learned so much about Hungary and Budapest. We loved that we used Budapest's wonderful public transportation system (free for those 65 and over, 7-day card very reasonable) with her multiple times to get to various venues. Since our first full day started with Gabriella, this introduction to the transportation system helped us a lot, and we used it in our own with no problems the rest of our time in Budapest. Gabriella gave us great suggestions for restaurants and other places to visit on our own. The coffee and cookie break was awesome and a super treat, and we went back on our own the next day we liked the establishment so much. You definitely won't be disappointed with Gabriella as your Budapest walking tour guide.

Wonderful walking tour - This is a fantastic tour. Gabriella was a superb guide. Really knowledgeable but with a great sense of humour. You see all the main sites and good mix of walking with the public transport options. She also gave us great advice and recommendations for the rest of our time in Budapest.

5 star tour with Gabriella - From the moment we met with Gabriella in our hotel lobby, the entire agenda was at a pace of our choosing & selected with us as to where we wanted to visit. Gabriella was extremely knowledgeable & informative, being a native of Budapest. She was most friendly & engaging; we would highly recommend choosing Gabriella as your guide.

Best tour experience - This experience was worth every dime we paid. Our tour guide Reka is the absolute BEST and she ROCKS. The tour was fun, educative and informative. She gave us a great tour and rich history about Hungary and the city of Budapest. In addition to all these awesomeness she shared some hidden gems in the city with us like good places to eat and where to find great activities. I would absolutely rate her a 💯. Thank you Reka.

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….
