What are people saying about Budapest

Highly recommended tour
This was a great tour. We saw so much and Attila provided excellent commentary. We did this as a family group and I would highly recommend it to people of all ages. Plus Attila was a great videographer and we ended up with pictures and videos to remember our tour by. I was concerned that the scooters might be hard to ride but they were easy plus we got really good instructions beforehand.

History of Budapest
Sabi’s historical walking tour of the Pest side of Budapest was absolutely outstanding and one of the most enriching experiences of our visit. His depth of knowledge is remarkable, but what truly sets him apart is his ability to transform centuries of history into stories that are engaging, thought-provoking, and unforgettable.
As we explored the grand boulevards, historic landmarks, and hidden corners of Pest, Sabi expertly connected the city’s architecture, politics, culture, and people in a way that gave us a much deeper appreciation for Budapest than we could have gained on our own. Every stop had meaning, and every story added another layer to our understanding of this incredible city.
Sabi has a wonderful balance of professionalism, humor, and passion. He welcomed questions, encouraged discussion, and made the experience feel personal rather than scripted. It was evident that he genuinely loves sharing the history of his hometown, and that enthusiasm was contagious.
If you’re looking for more than a sightseeing tour and want to truly understand the heart and soul of Budapest, Sabi is the guide you want. His tour doesn’t just show you the city, it helps you experience it. We left with a profound appreciation for Budapest’s resilience, beauty, and rich history, and we have Sabi to thank for making our visit so meaningful.

Excellent tour. Sign up...
Excellent tour. Sign up for the “grand tour” vs the “essential”. You see more of the Ghetto as well as a jewel of a smaller, 3rd, synagogue.
The cemetery at the main synagogue is very thought provoking. Take your time.
Guide was thoroughly knowledgeable and fluent in English.

The best airport transfers we have ever had
If you need a transfer to the airport this is the company to contact.
They were responsive, on time, extremely nice, and the vehicle was top notch.
We were very appreciative of everything this company did to make our transfer stress free and convient.

What a wonderful experience
I loved this tour, our guide Maisha was very knowledgeable and so friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. We took a train to the artists village which I loved as I felt I was seeing and experiencing much more of Budapest. It was a lovely little village with something for all age groups. After taking us around the village, Maisha took us to a little place where we had a slice of Langos and then we had an hour to do what we wanted. This tour was well worth the money.

2 hours boat tour/dinner/live music
Absolutely amazing boat tour in Budapest! The service was excellent, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. The live orchestra created a truly magical atmosphere, and the food was delicious. I chose the 2-hour dinner cruise with goulash and lángos, which was outstanding. The view from the upper deck was simply WOW!

Best way to see all of Budapest
We had a great experience with this tour operator. We booked a group tour last minute after our prior plans fell through. We're so happy we did. We had Johnnie as our tour guide and he was excellent. He knew his way around town and we visited many sites. We covered so much ground we wouldn't have if we walked or used public transport. We even had time for a brief visit to Margaret Island. While we tooled around both sides of the river, Johnnie allowed us to set the pace, and we never felt rushed. He even knew the best spots to take photos. We would use this company again if we're in Barcelona, Lisbon, Prague or Budapest.

The wine tasting with Ben...
The wine tasting with Ben was an awesome experience!!! Ben was so knowledgeable, friendly, and welcoming. We enjoyed every minute of the tasting event. It was amongst our favorite activities while visiting Budapest! We highly recommend this Hungarian wine tasting experience!

Great tour- recommend
Suzanne was great! On time to start and even made a little adjustment to show us some things not on the tour.
She was knowledgeable and helpful in giving us advice on how to navigate the city if we wanted to revisit any of the places.
Enjoyed the lunch, the sponge cake was delicious.
The boat tour was relaxing.
Thanks again! (Despite a grumpy member of our group)

A great and well organised experience.
A very well organised experience. Boat was modern and clean with 3 floors of seating with the top floor outside. Plenty of staff including security. A drink of Prosecco was presented on boarding and accessing refills was really easy. It was advertised as unlimited Prosecco, Aperol Spritz and beer. I didn’t see anyone with beer. There was 3 types of spritz and also different waters. We were on the middle floor which was quite busy so it was difficult to hear the audio commentary on the sites being passed. We had a lovely experience and was well worth the price and I would recommend.

Excellent day trip
The excursion is great combination of the UNESCO site Holloko and we had 2 hours in Eger . We spent 1.5 hours at the castle and some time walking in the old town before returning to Budapest. We really enjoyed our day.
Our guide Richard was excellent and his driving was also excellent.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Budapest is a fascinating city to explore, and the Hungarian capital is a handy starting point for full-day excursions. Once you’ve had your fill of the city, get out and explore quaint villages, embark on a river cruise, or sip on the region’s famed wines; visitors can even hit up nearby European capitals. Not only do Budapest day trips lead you away from the usual crowds, but they also let travelers immerse themselves in Hungary’s unique landscapes and history.
