Fabulous city tour - Our guide, Anita was very knowledgeable, kind, and thoughtful. She asked us at the beginning everything that we wanted to be sure to see, and she answered all of our question s. Her knowledge of the city was amazing. She was very pleasant to converse with. She took us for coffee and strudel halfway through the tours to rest. Excellent!

Excellent Family Tour with Little Kids - One of the best tour experiences we’ve ever had anywhere. Petra was incredibly brilliant and super easy to talk to/plan with. We had 3 kids with us + the grandparents. It went flawlessly. Our kids loved Petra… I have many photos of her holding their hands walking through Budapest. 100% recommend.

Fun and Enriching Experience! - Superb tour and culture exchange! Grateful for this tour company and their professionalism. We worked with Anita to arrange and organize our private 3 hour tour. Our brilliant and convivial guide, Petra, adapted the tour to our interests. It was a beautiful mix of Hungarian history, culture, and fun!
This tour company was recommended to me by a work colleague and I am so glad to have utilized their tour services. The experience enriched my trip and post-trip, as I was empowered with a vast array of Hungarian and Budapest knowledge to impart to work colleagues, friends, and family.
Köszönöm Szépen Anita, Petra and your company Budapest Locals.

Excellent Service, Excellent Tour - We were on a 5 week tour of major European cities and booked tours (some group, some private) at each location. Our entire experience with Budapest Locals was one of our
top tours on this journey. It starts with great communication from Anita. We learned on this adventure that tour companies that don’t communicate with you before your experience consistently end up giving sub-par tours. Anita made sure to touch base before the tour reminding us of what to expect, when/where to meet which made for a seamless experience.
Our guide, Petra, was one of our favorite guides we had in Europe. She met us at our hotel and as we were starting our tour, we walked past a building next to our hotel that had a restaurant in it that we hadn’t noticed. She said she highly recommended it, asked if we’d like to eat there after our day of touring and then went in and made a reservation for us. This restaurant was so good, we went back for a second meal (the only time we did so in all 5 weeks of traveling). And the day just kept getting better from there. We saw so much, Petra gave us great information on not just the sites we were seeing, but wherever the conversation and our interests about Budapest went. We saw far more than we thought we could cover in 4 hours and she gave us great recommendations for the rest of our days In Budapest. We cannot recommend this tour company highly enough and would re-book in a heartbeat if we are ever lucky enough to find ourselves back in beautiful Budapest.

Wonderful tour - Anita was a pleasure to work with. She created a full-day tour of Budapest that met our needs completley. Andi was our guide and she could not have been better. She provided local information not found in guidebooks. The overall package included lunch at a restaurant along our route. I highly recommend this tour operator.

Excellent Tour Company - This is an excellent tour company that we highly recommend. We hired them for a few days for private tours. Our tour guide did an excellent job. On the first day our flight was delayed but she waited in the lobby of the hotel so that we wouldn't miss out on some sightseeing. She was very flexible each day on what we did and answered all of my in-laws questions. More important, the tour company did an excellent job communicating before, during, and even after the tour.

Andi was an exemplary guide (intellectual, witty, discerning, and like a friend) - Andi was an exemplary private tour guide. She took us through Buda and Pest, the west and east sides of the Danube River, respectively, on one of our favorite tours of our whirlwind 12-country trip—mainly because Andi is young and energetic, she read the description I wrote them of our interests, and she had an educated perspective on the history and current economy that was stimulating and refreshing. She was able to artfully take us through the ostensible façade of the city—one that a cynic would say does not have a defined identify and is still attempting to rebuild and evolve after the physical and socioeconomic tolls mainly taken by WWII. However, through our flowing discussions with Andi, we ultimately appreciated Budapest for a city of a resilient people—people who fatally rebelled against the unbeatable USSR on 25 Oct 1956, and people who understand the limitations of the current government and economy, yet are able to see the opportunities to live a thriving life in a beautiful city.

Amazing Private Tour of Budapest - Highly recommend Budapest Locals!!
We are a family of 5 (2 adults and 3 kids ages 5-11), and we traveled to Budapest for the first time in April 2023. We booked two half-day tours (Budapest Overview and Hidden Gems) and we enjoyed every minute of our tours! The tours were very well-planned and executed. We saw all the major sites, plus more, and learned a lot about the city and history of Budapest.
Our tour guide, Petra, was absolutely amazing! We felt so comfortable with her and our kids warmed up to her very quickly. By the 2nd day, she was like a good friend showing us around. Our kids say she was the best tour guide!
