Fantastic! - We had an excellent tour with Ferenc. In addition to showing us the sights in the castle district, his knowledge of Hungarian history and the background he provided on the area enhanced our overall experience. We highly recommend this tour.

Great tour, excellent guide. - Karoly was an excellent guide. He was extremely well informed and gave us a fantastic tour. It’s well worth using a guide as you get so much more out of your visit. He gave us good tips for places to see and eat during our weekend.

Still visiting him in the usual way due to the official visit of a senior leader, the tar - Even with the inconvenience of not being able to visit it in the usual way due to the official visit of a senior leader, the afternoon was magnificent. When there is little time and a lot to see, I consider it a great advantage to turn to this group of professionals. Detailed and entertaining explanations. I will keep them in mind for future trips.

Great views from the top of Buda - Our guide Fanni was very knowledgeable and did a great job on our tour. It was a relaxed pace and we were fortunate to observe the cherry blossoms. The cake shop was yummy. Fanni picked us up at our boat and got us back after a fact filled tour.

Great and knowledgeable tour guide of Buda Vastke area - Our tour guide, Esmet picked us up promptly at 9 o’clock at our hotel and walked us through our neighborhood, pointing out various sites and giving us hints about what sites we might want to visit as well as good food recommendations on popular local delights. She directed us to retro Langos, which was delicious, and then to the First Strudel House of Budapest for some different strudel. You can see them making it and offer several varieties Traveled up to Buddha castle, and she took us throughout the grounds, explaining everything, very knowledgeable about the history of Budapest. Our tour culminated at a typical coffeehouse, where she ordered coffee and cakes for us, and then departed. The cakes were phenomenal as was our tour guide. We would recommend her highly! Hope you’re lucky enough to get her!
