Great Experience - This was a highlight of our travel - perhaps our favorite thing we did during our Europe visit! Nick is brilliant and compassionate. We really admire his ability to capture so much history during the tour and are very grateful that he shared his home with so much heart with us! This allowed us to really make the most of our visit and would highly recommend.

Delightful Intro to City - Zsofia was our guide and was generous with her time. She helped orient us to Pest, the Danube, the main pedestrian areas and the Central Market Hall. We went the first morning after our arrival the night before.

Great starting point for a visit to the city - They quickly fixed a hiccup in scheduling - I feel like I got a more in-depth tour as a result of their commitment to customer service. Accurate, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and interactive tour of Budapest by Gabor, with many jumping-points for exploration of the city. Perfect way to start a visit to Budapest - I would highly recommend and would definitely book again.

Withlocals 90 minuter Kickstart. - Gabor has been a magnificent host, a personalized tour according to my preferences. His knowledge of the city, the history and its buildings aarchitecture is remarkable. Above all, I appreciated his enthusiasm and communication skills, as well as his ability to discover those little details that would go unnoticed and give a greater significance to the city. I can only thank you for his dedication in the hour and a half of touring Budapest, it has been a pleasure.

Private tour with Nicholas :) - It was one of my best tours ever! If you go to Hungary, fix yourself a tour with this amazing person! I got a lot of information and funny facts about Hungary, the Hungarian people and history. He was a great photographer who never got tired taking photos of me. I really recommend him, he made me feel welcome in hís country and he also made me feel comfortable. Which I really appreciated.

Not impressed - Very strange tour. She took us to random places. We got a impression that she was in a hurry, and therefore not could show us the places far away
