Put On Your Walking Shoes and Go See Budapest! - If you only have a limited time in Budapest and you want to hit nearly all the highlights, lace up your comfortable walking shoes, grab a water bottle and take this tour! Petra was a fantastic and knowledgeable guide, who managed to be informative, fun and a great photographer 😀. The strudel stop was perfectly timed and also excellent. When we stood at the top of the Fisherman's Bastian and saw how much of Budapest we were able to see in four hours by foot (with a little help from the metro and bus) it was impressive. Can't recommend this tour (or Petra) enough.

Fantastic tour with Petra - We thoroughly enjoyed this day tour of Budapest. Petra was an excellent tour guide and we enjoyed learning about Budapest and Hungary’s rich history with her. We travelled all over Budapest visiting famous landmarks using their excellent transit system. The strudel stop was also a fun way to break up the tour and there was such a variety of strudels we were able to sample. Overall, the length of the tour was just right and the tour structure was very logical and well thought out. This tour is definitely a must do for visitors with a limited time in the city or for those who want an introduction to the amazing landmarks to help them decide where to spend more time on their stay.

Budapest Walking Tour with Strudel! - Excellent walking tour of Budapest. Bonus was taking public transportation - both the train and bus! We saw many sights, our guide was excellent and answered many questions as well as provided insight about the Hungarian people and culture. The stop for strudel and drinks was a delight. We saw how the strudel was made, and it was a delicious treat! Our guide was also helpful in giving us ideas of things to do while we were in Budapest over the next few days.

Great tour with many excellent stops - Our Tour Guide Gregg, A., Hungarian local from the Buddha side of the city, was an excellent guide. He was clearly very knowledgeable on the history and the politics of the city and this region. He was very specific with dates and names of people, etc. the only thing I would have to say that was slightly negative and prevented me from giving it. A five star review is that he walked ahead of us on several occasions and wasn’t talking. These were opportunities for him to give us more information I thought. The strudel stock was excellent. Highly recommend this Tour.
