Exceptional tour - Kate was exceptional. We saw and learned so much on our tour… from Buda to Pest. We has no idea that there would be so many great sites to see.

Great tour! - This was a truly amazing tour. It’s fully customizable to your preferences. Dalia was an amazing knowledgeable tour guide and so warm. The vehicle used was nice and clean and the driver was friendly. We wouldn’t have learned nearly as much about Budapest if we had visited these sights on our own. This tour is a must do when visiting Budapest!

A truly memorable tour - My two adult sons had never been to Hungary. I picked this tour so they could see the high points of that beautiful city and to give them ideas of places they might want to revisit later in our stay. Best decision ever! Dalia was a superb guide. She was never stumped by any of our questions. She worked well with our excellent driver to find the right drop off and pickup points. She was able to suggest dinner and clubbing locations. She explained how to use the public transit systems and what type of tickets would be the best for us. Traveling by car allowed us to cover an amazing number of locations and sights. We were extremely pleased.

Great way to see the whole city - An excellent all-day tour and a wonderful way to see all the most famous parts and sights in the city. My tour guide, Noemi, spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable about all the locations. She also knew where to refill my water bottle at public taps as well as the all-important restrooms. One nice part of the tour was when she took me into the Buda Hilton (which is built around a medieval cloister.) I would not have known that this was open to the public, and it was also a little break for air-conditioning and a nice restroom. This tour has lots of walking, so wear comfortable shoes. We did ride the streetcar up Andrassy utca to Heroes Square and also at the end from Gellert Hill back to the central part of Pest. Overall, this was a great way to spend the day, and I highly recommend it.

Great day in an Amazing City - Our guide Alexandria was excellent. She was very respectful knowledgeable and accommodating of our needs. ( we are both over 70yrs old) 8hrs in the heat was a long day but well worth the effort. So much to see. Viator communicated well so we had an amazing day.

Local guided tour - Feels like being taken round Budapest by a local. Perhaps pricey but you can’t replicate the experience in a larger group and they are they’re for you the whole day.

Best Tour - Alexandra is so very bright! She knows extensive information about everything. She even had photos on her iPad to give us historical information connected to where we were touring. In addition, she is very enthusiastic, kind, and flexible! Anyone would be lucky to have Alexandra as their guide in Hungary.
