Such a wonderful tour. It’s long but worth it! I learned so much about the history of Budapest. My guide was simply phenomenal. She was thorough, took my photos, we ventured off to the Labor Day City Park fair. Ate Traditional Hungarian food, Lángos. Highly recommend. The Hungarian Parliament and Matthias Church are stunning.

Ww were so excited to have Alexandra as our guide today. She was just awesome. She took us to lots of major sights and was so knowledgeable about the history of this beautiful country. We can't wait to explore many of these places more thoroughly, but this was the perfect introduction to Budapest. Our driver was excellent too. Thank you for a most memorable day.

This tour was well worth the money! While the tour was billed as “private,” I assumed there would be a few other tourists. My guide Katka told me that it was, indeed, a private tour. She usually accompanies couples but since my husband couldn’t join me, it was just me, the guide, and the driver in a small minivan. What an entertaining and informative tour. I only had three days to visit Budapest, so this was the best “ROI.” We toured both Buda and Pest and enjoyed more than 25 sites – in depth – in about seven hours. (Katka was going to host me for another hour, but after covering what we did, I was pleasantly exhausted.)
