We went to this tour with...

We went to this tour with my partner not really knowing what to expect but the village was very beautiful and full of friendly people. If you try Langos there, expect something way superior in quality than the ones in the city. Also great opportunity for buying souvenirs. Lastly our guide Daniel really took the whole experience at the next level, being a very funny,friendly and approachable guy and very knowledgeable about the place making it very informative. Would recommend the tour and the guide all the way!

A meaningful and moving tour

This was a very moving and meaningful tour experience. The guide, Daura, had much to share with us as a woman deeply rooted in her community and heritage. She not only shared much but asked the group great questions that had us all sharing and learning from eachother. I would highly recommend it!

Great Way To See Budapest!

I loved this tour! Balint was a great guide, and the scooters were easy and fun to drive. The three-hour "all in" tour sped by. We covered plenty of ground and saw parts of the city we never would have found on our own - including Margaret Island. I highly recommend this tour.

Best Day Trip From Budapest!

This is the perfect day trip while you are in Budapest! The tour takes you to the three main towns along the Danube Valley: Esztergom, Visegrad, and Szentendre. Susan was our guide and driver for the day and she was the best guide we had on any of our trips while in Europe. She was so knowlegable about each of the locations and as well as Budapest and Hungarian history. She brought along visuals and maps that helped explain and really brought the whole tour together. Lunch in Szentendre was excellent and the wine with the meal were great local choices. If you are looking at doing a day trip to this area we highly recommend this tour and especially recommend Susan for a guide! 5 stars!

Budapest with Dora… the explorer!

We had a great experience on the Budapest City Sightseeing Half-Day Tour with our guide, Dora. She provided a lot of interesting and useful information about Budapest and the various sights we visited. Dora was knowledgeable, friendly, and did a great job explaining the history and significance of the places we saw. When we first realized that we would be on the tour with German-speaking guests, I was a little disappointed because I had expected the tour to be entirely in English. However, it actually turned out to be a positive experience. While Dora was speaking in German, it gave me a chance to take pictures of the sights she had just explained to us without feeling like I was missing anything. Overall, we really enjoyed the tour and felt that Dora did an excellent job. It was a great way to see and learn about Budapest in a relatively short amount of time. We would definitely recommend this tour and Dora as a guide.

Guided introduction to Budapest

I recommend this tour upon arrival in Budapest! We had a very good tour with Jose who is knowledgeable about the city history, and we covered an incredible amount of ground in our 2 1/2 hour tour. This is a great way to know which sites you might want to return to to spend more time as well as see places you may not have known about. Jose also knows the best photo opportunities. This was the first time we had ever written Segway’s and Jose was a patient instructor. It’s not hard to do and he was very good about keeping an eye out for our safety and making sure we were comfortable. Highly recommend this tour.

Lisa_B, Jul 2026

Wonderful out of city excursion!

Our guide was Very knowledgeable about the area and the culture. Answered many questions. Accommodating, easy personality and likeable. The tour itself was educational but a bit rushed. Could have used more time at the Eger Castle to really explore the other exhibits. The UNESCO site was wonderful. Hungarian countryside is lovely.

We really enjoyed the tour. Szusan was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information on the historical significance of each place we went. The wine tasting was interesting and we enjoyed the lunch and shopping. The restaurant easily accommodated our vegetarian family member, which was appreciated. All in all, I’d definitely recommend this tour!
