The Tour was just Perfect. They really stand up to their name. - The tour was excellent. The quide was verry knowledge able and helpfull to my family. She even took the extra effort to help my wife out. We loved this Alternative Street Art Tour of Budapest. I highly recommend Perfect European Tours to anyone who wants to get to know Budapest. We also went on their Budapest Historical Sightseeing Free Walking Tour. That was just perfect as well. What We loved about them, is that They only took on maximum 25 people. So like this everyone was included. The guides had a time to interact with everyone. We highly recommend Perfect European Tours. They stand up to their name.

Exciting street Art & Ruin Bar - Our guide Victoria was originally from England but has lived here for over 25 years. .was a really interesting tour with a fabulous insight into the street murals & other art, many of which you would miss if just wandering around. Lots of interesting facts about life living in Hungary today. Worthwhile tour even if not that interested in art purely to appreciate how high the standard of living in UK is compared to Hungary & what life was like post communism & pandemic. Victoria was happy to share her personal experiences. Ended in famous ruin bar but shown the others too. A little tour and history of the ruin bars was given too which really made it special as we stayed for a drink after the tour. Well above expectations & highly recommended. An absolute must do whilst in Budapest

Budapest mit anderen Augen sehen - It was a very pleasant experience. We learned a lot by listening to the stories each street art object has to tell. It was very informative and we saw a part of daily live in Budapest we didn’t know before. Highly recommendable.

Excellent - Absolutely amazing. Victoria is so knowledgeable. Both myself and my 16 year old son loved it. It is amazing what you can find when you know where to look. We learned so much about Hungary in those couple of hours. There is such a thin line between the past and the present. We also thought that ‘recycling day’ is such a good idea. Ask your tour guide about it. 😊

Just excellent - Absolutely fantastic. Both myself and my 16 year old son loved it. Our tour guide Victoria was amazing, so knowledgeable. It’s amazing what you can find when you know where to look. We learnt so much about Hungary in those couple of hours. History and present are so thinly connected. In addition, we have found ‘recycling day’ such a good idea. We will leave it up to you to ask your tour guide about it.
