High energy and interesting tour!! - Zsofia (Sophia). Was a high energy positive personality and gave a great tour of Budapest. We spent the majority of time driving in her car to various places starting with Pest and then moving over to Budapest. She offered a detailed explanation at each site and gave us Hungarian lessons along the way. We stopped and walked at several locations including Heroes square and St Mathias church. You can tell she had done this for decades as she has a mental script of everything and continues to talk all through driving in the chaotic traffic in the city. Budapest has the most wonderful architecture and is an interesting mix of classic architecture from late 1800s/early 1900s along with communist era brutalist buildings in various stages of maintenance. As an American, the long history of the Hungarians and all the occupations such as the Romans, the Ottoman Turks, the Hapsburg dynasty, Austria Hungarian empire, the Nazis, the Soviets, the long period of communism and then the transition to capitalism is fascinating!! Zsofia is a true Hungarian and loves to talk about her country. Now is probably not for everyone as like I stated she is high energy and forward which would probably not work for some subdued, less adventurous Americans, but it worked for us!!

Enjoy the views and architecture. - There is a tremendous amount of walking (miles) of stairs and uneven surfaces. Well worth the trip with hundreds of years of history and folklore. Full day and ending at the Astronomical Clock which is not to be missed.

Private Tour beats group tour - We are on a Viking Cruise which offers free tours at each stop. In Budapest there was a private 7 hr tour that was worth every penny spent. We opted for it in lieu of the free tour. It covered way more of the city and all in a vehicle. Small walks so nothing strenous. Included lunch and ended with a river cruise. Nora did an awesome job getting us to all the highlights.
