Private tour with Julia - Julia led a fantastic walking tour that showcased Budapest’s rich history and iconic spots. It was delightful to discover those charming little sculptures scattered throughout the city. Her stories about each landmark were both captivating and informative, making learning about Budapest a breeze. The pace was manageable, though it did start to wear on us after two hours. She also introduced us to the city’s public transport, including the bus and the adorable yellow subway. I believe the fare was included, but I might have overlooked that in the tour details. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

A good first day overview... - A good first day overview of Budapest. Enjoyed walking around the sites. We took the subway to the other side of the river and this made later navigating the public transportation system must easier. Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and interesting.

Julia was amazing and we absolutely loved it - We had a fantastic day with our guide Julia. She was extremely knowledgeable on everything on the walk and was so easy to listen to and chat to. It was like having a friend there in a walk. Julia took us to some great spots that we would have never discovered if we had been on our own. In summary we highly recommend this excellent personal experience and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Budapest Private Tour - The tour guide was great. However we changed the starting point location with Viator and they failed to convey the information to the tour guide so we lost a half hour of the tour. The guide made it up to us by completing part of the tour by tram.
