Great introduction to Budapest - My friend and I did this walking tour on our first day in Budapest. Our tour guide Diana was very knowledgeable and we found the tour interesting and it included many of the main tourist sights which was what we needed as first time visitors to Budapest. All in all, we would definitely recommend this tour.

Beautiful Budapest - Our guide Katalin, gave my husband and I a private tour of the city. We first visited St. Stephen's Basilica and then walked around different areas of the city. We then took the train to the Buda side. There we walked around different parts of the town, ending the tour in Fisherman's Bastion. Katalin was very nice and informative. We stayed in the area for a couple of more hours and had lunch. The only downside was that when we tried to visit St. Matthias church at 3pm, and they had closed it for the day. We had been told it was open until 5pm.

Outstanding Tour Guide. - Monica was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable and had a passion for Hungarian history. I would definitely recommend her to friends and family. She only does small groups which is warm and intimate. Today was just my Mom and I… excellent experience.

Great tour! - A very insightful and detailed tour. Dalia certainly knew her history and the best parts to point out, the fact it was just us two on the tour was a bonus! Definitely recommended, especially for day 1!

This was a fantastic... - This was a fantastic walking tour for an overview of the essentials of Budapest. The guide was not only very knowledgeable, but took the time to point out numerous sights not mentioned or indicated in most tour itineraries. We couldn't have asked for a better, more memorable experience.

Hiking, stories, and Birdseye view of Budapest! - Spend a day getting out of the city and into the hills, enjoy learning about the floor and Fauna and history of the area, hear wonderful personal stories about Budapest history, social structures, or whatever you want to learn about. Laszlo was incredibly knowledgeable about everything and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our three day stay! Plus a welcome break of being in cities with our long Europeans tour. We are older and Laszlo kept the pace, slow enough, provided rest stops, and knew where all the water fountains spouts were.Bring your own water bottle to fill up! The whole hike ended up being about 7 miles for us, took us about five hours with several rest breaks. It will be faster if you’re younger and in shape..

Wow-What A Tour - What a great tour we had with our guide Noemi. In 3 hours we covered pretty much everything on our list of things to see in Budapest. Noemi showed us everything from great vantage points and provided superb explanations and context. I have been on walking tours all over the world and this one was one of the best. Try and find a way to get Noemi as your guide. You will not be disappointed.

Fantastic Tour of the City - Fantastic tour of the city - excellent tour covering both sides of the city. A very good introduction to the history of the city. The tour company was very accommodating and facilitated our request to move start time and location. Equally impressive was our tour guide Julia who did a terrific job.
