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.

Excellent tour and guide - I enjoyed the Buda Castle district tour with Andi. She was very knowledgeable of the history and engaging during the tour. As she mentioned to us, Buda Castle is about the views of the city and she showed us all of them. Definitely recommended if you don’t mind doing a bit of walking around the area!

Budapest Walking Tour - Delia was a wonderful tour guide. She provided great information. She also encouraged us to customize our tour if we wanted, but we allowed her to create and execute the tour as planned. She was very accommodating and helpful with pur questions. We highly recommend her.

An excellent tour - We were very happy with this tour. Esther covered everything in the Buda Castle area one could hope to see. The tour flowed seamlessly from place to place and was well thought out and she presented great information and details. She was also gracious and kind enough to help us with figuring out transportation on the way home.

Ok for first excursion - Nice guide. A useful excursion to rejuvenate yourself in the large palace complex. I would have liked to receive 3 times more information and a much broader story telling.

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
