Excellent visit - We had a very good time with our tour guide Flora. She was very thorought showing us all the basilica

Our guide gave excellent... - Our guide gave excellent explanations of the history of the church and the history of Hungary as represented by the saints.

Most memorable? That we... - Most memorable? That we were the only people on the tour so we basically had a private tour. This meant instead of a lecture, it was a personal conversation between us and the guide. She was excellent.

You have to come see it... - You have to come see it for yourself . Informative tour guide, amazing church and take the tower up to the top

wonderful tour - Dori did a wonderful job. Above and beyond. The basilica was breathtaking. Well worth the visit, the experience and the time spend.

Beautiful church. - Beautiful church. It wa Easter so quite a few people but our guide did a great job. The trip to the top was included and well worth it.

At Stephen’s Basilica - The guides explanation of each of the statues and pictures. Rosie was quite knowledgeable, but still a little green.

One of the nicest venues in Budapest - The church was beautiful. They charge for admission but not outrageous. There is no audio and they say there’s an App but Wifi in the church is weak. It is a stately building and took a lot of effort to complete but is a beautiful Christian church in a once communist controlled country. It is worth the add on of the Treasury and Tower options. But you are on your own. No guides, no groups, and the pamphlets were lacking any meaningful history. One wonders why they charge, when most basilicas with limited information are free, with donations accepted. The added options require quite a bit of walking up stairs and the elevators and small with long lines waiting. Worth seeing, but tacky to make a tourist trap of a church. For a Catholic of faith, it is really embarrassing and for a place of worship to turned into circus like atmosphere. If you are going to charge, at least have an audio guide like most museums or live group guides and the fee would be understood, even though it is totally out of protocol for a church of the Catholic faith to do this. St. Peter would find a way to turn himself right side up under St. Peter’s square if he knew they were doing this. They certainly don’t do this in the Vatican at St. Peter’s Square and St. Peter’s Basilica.

Poor guidance by Viator - guide good, Viator not so much - Our tour was the Basilica of St Stephen in Budapest. An amazing structure. Tour was well done by our guide although very soft spoken she presented herself well with an abundance of historical information and folklore. Generally well done. Finding our guide was a challenge thanks to Viator, final location information for us was long coming and changed from the original booking. No identification to find the guide was offered. The offered free app contained lots of ads, but would not allow our ticket download.

Splendid building! To do. - Magnificent building. Don't hesitate to buy a ticket for access to the circular terrace. You can go up there on foot (spiral staircase approx. 200 steps) or by elevator. Very nice view from the top. We can see in particular the interior structure of the dome (metal/wood). For those who are afraid of heights it may be a little tricky. One downside: the noise made by certain groups of tourists who speak loudly without any respect for the tranquility that this place should provide.
