Fascinating tour with Rebecca - Good instructions to find the meet point and our tour guide Rebecca. She was very friendly and had a real passion for history, which showed. She was happy to answer questions and give any extra guidance on specific details during our tour. Really enjoyed the experience and would recommend, if you want a more indepth knowledge of Budapest, its history and the Castle district.

Good! - Very beautiful and partially free (if you visit the outside area and the surroundings). It is a good spot to do some sightseeing of Pest. The cafés and restaurants in the complex are very expensive, so I wouldn’t recommend that. We were going to buy tickets for the church, when we saw a sign saying that there would be a free concert later that night. So we came back and not only visited it for free, but also listened to two choirs (one local and another one from the U.S.) —which was a good experience. Right next to the church, there is a Hilton hotel that is like a typical 80’s crystal box building and completely ruins the landscape. I don’t know why they allowed to put that there but —quiet frankly— they should demolish it. This is a historical and heritage site.

Excellent tour - Our guide was very knowledgable. My husband had his foot in a boot and she accommodated the tour so he could be included and sit down whereever possible. There were only four of us on the tour and that was great. She also helped us at the end of the tour to find our way to our next destination. A very informative and fun tour.

Waste time and money - This is useless and waste 100 dollar tour. You just go around and see houses around the main attraction. I will not recommend anyone
