Katie made us love Budapest! - What an amazing day! Katie catered to our interests and shared places other than tourist checklist items. Her knowledge, and her ability to convey it, helped us fall in love with the city. It felt like a friend touring us in the city she loves. I would highly recommend this tour.

Do yourself a favor — spend a day with Zoli! - We had an unforgettable day with Zoli — a hilarious, high-energy, and thoroughly authentic Hungarian! From the moment we met him, we knew we were in for something special. Zoli was not just a tour guide; he was a walking encyclopedia of Budapest and Hungarian life. History? Check. Architecture? Check. Food, wine, culture, and even public transit hacks? Check, check, and check! He customized the tour to match our interests (and attention spans), happily tolerated our goofy antics, and never missed a beat when it came to snapping the perfect photo. It was the perfect kick-off to our trip and set the tone for the rest of our adventure. Do yourself a favor — spend a day with Zoli. You’ll laugh, you’ll learn, and you’ll leave feeling like you just hung out with a very knowledgeable new friend.

Fantastic City Tour of Budapest; Builds Confidence to Discover More of the City - Zoli, our guide, was waiting for us and was both informative and incredibly gracious throughout our tour which started at 0900 and concluded around 1630. We covered a lot of ground, and having opted for using the public transportation rather than private car, we were able, and felt comfotable using, the local trams, metro, and buses. I highly recommend this tour, for it covers both Buda and Pest.

An Absolute Must Do Tour In Hungary!! - If I could rate this more than 5 stars I would. What made this tour great was our guide, Czoka(Elizabeth). She is such a wonderful guide. My wife and I have toured all throughout Europe and we both came out of the tour believing she was the best we had. She knows all the history of each of the buildings, churches and areas so well. Went on the tram, subways etc and immersed ourselves in the culture of Hungary. 8 hours went very quickly. We saw every major highlight in Budapest and ate authentic meals and snacks along the way.
