Amazing Budapest historical small group walking tour - Esther was an amazing tour guide and filled us in on the history of Budapest and Hungary over the centuries and pointed out some great places forus to revisit.
Really appreciated her showing us how to get tickets and use the local metro. That was invaluable!!
She was great about answering questions and taking photos for those in the group. Perfect size - intimate and informative.

Great Walking Tour of Budapest! - We love a good walking tour when visiting a new city and this was a very good one. Rebeka took us to many of the highlights of the city explaining the history of Hungary and Budapest along the way. She was engaging, enthusiastic, funny, and presented complex historical and cultural information in a easy to understand fashion. BTW, the strudel was delicious and we used public transportation 3 times so we covered a lot of ground without too much walking.

Lovely afternoon with strudels - Had a lovely afternoon with Andi and our group. I loved that we used public transpo so we could cover a lot of ground but still stay efficient with our time. The sample strudel platters had so many flavors so we all got to try so many types! Thanks Andi for everything!

A great overview of the city - A great way to get an overview of the city, the history of Hungary and tips from a local guide on what to do, cafés and restaurants, how best to move around. Our guide, Anna, was super knowledgeable and entertaining. The strudel stop was fantastic. Thanks, Anna!

Excellent walking tour of Budapest - Esther was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable, answering our many questions and giving our small group a good understanding of Hungarian history including some personal stories of growing up during the communist years. The strudel stop was very welcome about halfway through the tour - we didn’t know there were so many strudel options apart from apple! Expensive but very highly recommended

Disappointing - It was a light weight introduction to Budapest. Our guide has a clear opinion about the current government, as well as a negative opinion about Ronald Reagan, which she expressed when we got to his statue. She galvanized the crowd which led to tension among the guests which was completely unnecessary. Most of the guests appeared to be happy when the tour was over. We wanted facts not opinions to learn about this great country.
