Lovely afternoon tour for anyone - I had a great afternoon in Budapest with Ferenc. He was very knowledgeable and even though the rain, he made this tour a lot of fun. We have visited one of the most beautiful churches I have ever seen, the Matias church and had my new favorite cake at a lovely confectionary. Greatly recommended

Great Buda Castle Experience - Our guide, Laszlo, did a wonderful job showing us around the beautiful Castle district on the Buda side of the river. He was punctual, professional, and friendly. He made the experience memorable by highlighting the social history of the area and relating it to culture, art, architecture, and politics. He tailored the pace of the tour to our group and was an excellent communicator. Do not hesitate to book this tour!

Very enjoyable tour - and value for money too!! - I am sure this is an excellent experience no matter who the guide, but we struck lucky with having Danny. Full of interesting facts, a peaceful pace and an appropriate sense of humour, we spent a Sunday afternoon learning about Budapest. I will, forever, know how to spot Steve!

Poor service again - We were waiting at the meeting point and the guide never showed up. When we called the tour agency they did not answer. We sent a email to the tour agency and they eventually responded to say our guide had a emergency and so our tour was canceled.

Don’t bother with this tour - I was never informed that the tour was cancelled Monday 10/17. I waited at the meeting point for 1/2 hour before I contacted the tour director only to be told that they forgot to inform me of the cancellation. Terrible customer service. I had planned my entire day around a 2:00pm tour. Very disappointed.
