Fantastic Tour! - Joe was fantastic! He was knowledgeable, entertaining and extremely friendly. We saw all of the castle area and he had facts and stories about almost every building. This was a highlight of our days in Budapest!

Don't miss this- night views of buda castle + Hungarian History - Joe is an amazing guide, he stays historically accurate, audience-wise relevant, and very patient with questions. He brought Hungarian history to life with his unique style and expression. His retelling of historical stories + the opportunity to see Buda castle and more in the night is un-missable. Strongly recommend.

Joe, My Favorite Hungarian - We booked this tour last minute and were so glad that we did because we honestly feel it was the best thing we did in Budapest. The people in Budapest were not kind but Joe was! His customer service was amazing, the stories he told were captivating, he’s a great actor, and he had us laughing. He showed us the way to the bus stop after and honestly if I had known it would have been so good I would have taken all the tours he was a lead on. Joe if you’re seeing this review, you made our stay in Budapest so much better.

Interesting - Very enthusiastic and good guide, who could tell us bloodthirsty details from Hungarian history. It was told with vivacity and rich detail, in a humorous way. Dress well in November, it's cold.

Moonlight Castles Bats Dracula 🧛‍♂️ - The setting was atmospheric in the Castle district by moonlight with bats flying around. Joe told us some very gruesome historical facts which were fascinating. Given the blood thirsty topic Joe made it easy to listen to and understand, he was very entertaining as a guide. I learned a lot about Hungarian History. I saw other tours en route and ours looked more fun. Very reasonable too.

Highly recommended! - We did this tour with Karen, a very nice Guide and good at explaining. His stories were very understandable in excellent English and with a touch of theatricality that does not hurt. Buda and the view of the city of Pest in the evening are lovely. Highly recommended tour also for the price, lasting almost two hours.

Blood thirsty tour - Joseph was an excellent tour guide. His knowledge was amazing and he delivered the stories in a very funny way. Joseph was very kind and gave me some hand warmers as my only complaint was that it was so so cold.
