Great intro to Budapest! - Petra was a really informative guide for our introduction to Budapest. We strolled along the Danube past the Chain Bridge and the Shoes on the Danube towards Parliament. She explained the complex history of Hungary. We went past the US Embassy and Liberty Square. We stopped for a strudel and coffee at the Strudel House which was delicious! We visited Saint Stephens Basilica and then went over to Dohany Street Synagogue and Szimpla Kert (we didn't go into either). It was a very interesting and informative tour. It was nice that it was private so we could take our time. I would highly recommend this tour!

3 hours trip organized my 2 days stay in Budapest - Petra guided my through the historical venter of Budapest and shown me most signifficant places with in deep historical and present times background. She answered all my even strangest questions, mentioned the links that has bind Poles and Hungarians throughout tge ages. We talked about history, presence, politics and cusine. What is more she advised me what to see on the next day, what and where to eat- Hungarian dishes, sweets and cakes ( she advised me where to eat chimney cake and it was delishes- see tge picture) in restaurants and bakeries who locals attend citizens attend. So on the next day I was following her guidelines for 8 more hours😅👍 in Pest and Buda! What is more she is very friendly, communicative, person with good sense of humour what makes this tour extremely attractive! I recommend buying it from the bottom of my heart. Thank you Petra👌👍🤝.

Remarkable experience with local historian teacher entertainer. - Amazing tour. F. Petra combined her love of history with teaching skills to expose the pearl in the shell of Budapest's remarkable transformation over centuries of conquest and accomplishment. As the adventure unfolded she would add personal stories from her family's experiences living in the country over several generations. A lovely girl leading us through an epic story in the beautiful historic city. Without any reservations, we highly encourage engaging her wit and wisdom for a tour you won't forget.

Excellent Tour! - Excellent tour with Andi! It was like a friend showing us Budapest. Since we had a food tour earlier in the day, she adjusted our itinerary so it wasn't repetitive. We really enjoyed our time with her. She also made a great recommendation for dinner! Definitely recommend this tour with Andi!
