Seniors seeing Budapest - Highly recommend this tour if you have limited time and/or you would like to hear the corresponding history of the sights. Our wonderful tour guide Bea took us on an inclusive, organized tour, using public transportation along the way. She was knowledgeable and attentive, making sure we were doing ok at all times. It was alot of walking for seniors but well worth it.

A brilliant way to uncover Budapest - This was a great full day tour, the guide ( Alexandra ) was superb with unlimited knowledge on every aspects of Budapest and made the whole day both full of facts but also was great fun.
We genuinely probably know more about the Hungarian history than our own countries now due to this great tour.

Highly Recommend - This private tour with our guide Dominic was our first experience with using a Viator private tour. All four of us agreed that the tour was well worth the time and cost, as the sights we saw and the comments provided by Dominic exposed much more about Budapest than we could have possibly found out on our own. Dominic was extremely accommodating whenever we asked one of our many questions.

Enthusiastic Overview of Buda and Pest - Our tour guide Dalia provided an amazing overview of the city -- both the Buda and Pest side. And she gave us a solid understanding of the history and current state of affairs, arts, and culture in the country. She picked a route that was efficient and reflected keeping us out of the rain as much as possible. (We were there just ahead of the recent horrible floods.) The day flew by as Dalia tailored the route and commentary to the things the four of us were most interested in. This full day tour laid the groundwork for us to explore Budapest on our own over the next four days where we felt like we really understood where to go for more detail and how to get there. Highly recommend Dalia!

A great way to really see Budapest thoroughly and efficiently. - We had a fantastic time with a great guide, Dalia, who was so personable, interesting, and wonderfully knowledgeable. She was fantastic. We mentioned a couple things we wanted to do, and she made it happen. We had a great driver who got us all around the city both Pest side and Buda side. We really accomplished an enormous amount of sightseeing in one day: St. Stephen's Basilica including a trip to the top, Andrassy Blvd., the Opera including going down into the subway and getting a lesson in how to use it, a tour of the Cental Market Hall, a trip to Hero's Square and a view of the Szechneyi Baths, Buda Castle and the Fisherman's Bastion and Matthias Church, and most of all, we got a full tour of the Dohany Street Synagogue. We even stopped to sample the famous chimney cakes. I highly recommend this tour, and we loved Dalia.

Better than with a group , and reasonable for a private trip - The private tour was nice . The lady guide was good . The driver very sweet and the car comfortable.
No one from the company picked up the phone at all, even though I kept trying to reach them to confirm. It was irritating.
The beautiful synagogue tour must be included in the trip. Even though the guide did make a short stop after I asked . We had to come the next day to visit it inside . I feel the synagogue should be included in the trip and the guest can be asked to pay for the ticket if interested. had to come back next day .just for a 20mims inside trip
Otherwise the trip was very good .
