lovely day, lovely food, lovely tour - We booked two tours on Viator with this company and they delivered! We had a wonderful time on this tour with our tour guide, Daniel. He was very kind and informative. There were only 4 of us on the tour and he had time for all questions. We learned a lot about Hungarian history, culture, everyday life and visited so many places. The lunch was absolutely great and in a very nice restaurant. Very strongly recommended activity!

the best way to see Budapest - I booked this tour on viator after seeing the itinerary of this tour. It is very well planned and paced. There were only 5 of us on this tour, so it made the interactions very genuine and our guide, Ferenc was more than able to answer all our questions. He was funny, professional, knowledgeable and knew exactly what to say and how. The lunch was more than amazing, we got the best Goulash soup I ever had during my holiday. Main course was Chicken Paprika and the dessert was light and refreshing, all in a beautiful restaurant. Highly recommended!

a must-do in Budapest - Our guide, Peter was waiting for us at the Opera House, a great meeting place. Easy to find and get to. He was very friendly, funny and informative and he knew exactly how to treat us. We were lucky, since there was no one else on our tour. We first headed to the Heroes' square with one of the oldest metros in Europe. He already had the tickets and showed us how to use them. After some walk in the beautiful and historical City Park we went to the downtown to St. Stephen's. After a quick and amazing lunch break with Hungarian goulash we continued our tour to the Buda castle. Seeing so many things one day and learning so much was an absolutely amazing experience. VERY strongly recommended to everybody who goes to Budapest.

a wonderful day in Budapest - This was one of the best tours we took during our stay in Budapest. We met our guide, Daniel in our hotel and then he took us for to the Heroes square. Then we took the old metro back to the restaurant, where we had a wonderful lunch with hungarian goulahs. We finished in the Buda area after an amazing day.

Great Experiance - I booked this tour on through Viator, and it exceeded all my expectations. The tour provided an excellent blend of historical sites, breathtaking views, and a scrumptious lunch that truly showcased the best of Hungarian cuisine. Our guide, Ferenc started the day by taking us to Heroes' Square, where we learned about Hungary's rich history and admired the impressive statues of national heroes. It was a fantastic introduction to the city and set the tone for the rest of the tour.Lunch was a delightful surprise, as we were taken to a charming local restaurant in the downtown. The traditional Hungarian dishes, such as goulash and chicken paprikash, were bursting with flavor and made for an authentic culinary experience. The highlight after lunch was undoubtedly the Castle District. The Matyiasz Church, with its intricate design and vibrant interior, was a sight to behold. The Fisherman's Bastion offered breathtaking views of the Danube and the city below, making it a perfect closure for our tour

A must-do in Budapest - We booked this tour expecting an interesting walk with some of the important sights in Budapest. We were very suprised and of course happy, that this tour turned out to be one of the best experiences we have ever had with our travels. Our guide, Daniel was very knowledgeable and friendly. The Langosh we tasted was absolutely magnificent, and our day - and maybe our whole trip to Hungary - was made in the well spent 3 hours. Very much recommended!
