Private walking tour - We had such a wonderful private tour of Budapest with Sabor. He was so knowledgeable sharing all the history of Budapest. It was such a relaxed calm way of exploring all over. Sabor was was very friendly and easy to chat with. We especially enjoyed our coffee and traditional pastry in a wee out of the way coffee shop with him.

Great tour guide makes a difference - The tour itself was fine but we had not realized that so much of the “castle” was just remnants of former castles that are being rebuilt or were turned into other things. What we really liked was out your guide, Denye (spelling?). He was extremely engaging and had interesting stories about everything we saw. He even brought us into a grocery store to give us a primer on paprika and Hungarian wine and spirits. He made what could have just been an average tour a very good one.

Awesome tour of Buda castle - Laszlo was an excellent tour guide! He gave a wonderful tour of the Buda castle complex to our family of four. His commentary was lively and interesting. Highly recommend this private tour for an in depth tour of the Buda side of Budapest. The entire tour is a walking tour, no transportation is needed or provided.

Incredible tour, 100% recommended! - Peter was one of the friendliest and most knowledgable tour guides we have ever met. We visited 3 countries this time we traveled to Europe and this tour was definitely the best. The tour is very well paced and since it was only us on the tour, Peter tailored it to our interests. Amazing stories and beautiful buildings. Thank you for the experience!

good stories, friendly company and personal touch - Great tour! Daniel was an amazing guide, perfect english, funny and informative. Our tour was very well-paced. We loved the personal touch of a private tour and it was great to have someone pick you up from the hotel. We used public transportation which in Budapest is one of the best I we have ever experienced. Definitely worth it and strongly recommended!

Amazing! - Daniel was very kind, very intellectual, and very interactive. He answer any & all questions. He tried teaching me how the vowels differ & are used in Hungarian. He shared Hungarian recipes with me. Foods & drinks to try. Showed me beautiful artwork, porcelain and how to guess which buildings are older or newer. And the reason for those that are colored. I loved the personalized touch He had with his culture & people and how he shared that with me.
