Very informative - Joel our guide was ready and waiting at the meeting point. Unfortunately it rained continuously during our tour, however, Joel did a great job of keeping us engaged and interested in the soggy weather. He was very knowledgeable and we feel that in 3 hours we had a great overview of Bud & Pest

Do this tour…. Outstanding! - This was an outstanding tour and I can’t imagine getting a better orientation. Our guide was Dalia who grew up here and not only knows the facts and figures, but what it was like growing up during the Cold War.

Amazing walking tour in Budapest - We had a fantastic time with our guide today, her name was noemi bodiss and she was great. Her English was amazing and she knew all the best places to go and gave us so much information. We found she was so lovely and really looked after us. It was our first time in Budapest and we got to see so much, thank you so much. A fantastic tour with a wonderful tour guide, would definitely recommend 😃

Informative and thoughtful tour guide! - We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Budapest with Dalia today. She quickly altered the planned tour route when we shared with her that we needed to catch an earlier flight. Her knowledge of the history of the area was exceptional and she pointed out so many details that we would have never discovered on our own. I highly recommend!!

Ideal way to see and learn about Budapest. Highly Recommend Andrew! - Our tour guide was Andrew (Andras). He was clearly a very intelligent and knowledgeable man with a wealth of experience. As he grew up in Budapest he has seen, first hand the changes over time and was able to share his experiences with us. He spoke excellent English and we had a very personal experience as it turned out to be a private tour with just my friend and I. The history and sights were amazing and we saw and learned so much about this beautiful city in our 3.5 hours with him. We wish we could have stayed longer! Well worth doing. Would highly recommend. Do buy the 24 hr travel pass from the purple and white ticket machines for £5 each 2500 HUF as you can use it on all modes of transport. The public transport is incredibly efficient and easy to use.
