What are people saying about Budapest

Joshua_R, Jun 2026

Private Tour With Petra Was Excellent!!!!!

I had an incredible experience with Petra as my tour guide in Budapest. She arrived at my hotel right on time and was extremely informative. Her knowledge of the Jewish history in Budapest was outstanding. She took me to the Great Synagogue and several other synagogues, explaining everything in deep detail. We also visited the Danube River to see the bronze shoes. The day was perfectly organized, and the entire history she shared was so moving. I highly recommend Petra—she was simply excellent.

Fantastic Introduction to Beautiful Budapest

Our tour was excellent! Anita was a lovely, friendly and very knowledgeable Guide who showed us all the key highlights and gave us a thorough account of the past, along with an insight into life in Budapest now. This was all topped off with a visit to The Strudel House where Anita ordered a selection of both savoury and sweet Strudel. This time out gave us the perfect opportunity for Anita to share restaurant recommendations and general ‘getting about’ tips. Thank you Anita for helping us to plan what turned out to be a super week in beautiful Budapest!

We had a private luxury...

We had a private luxury sightseeing tour in Budapest and visited Szentendre, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. Our guide, Christine Teplan, was fantastic — incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and made everything feel easy and personalized. You can tell she really knows the history and the area, but she explains it in a way that’s interesting, not overwhelming. I would absolutely recommend her. Our driver, Laszlo, was also great — very professional and made the whole experience smooth and comfortable. Szentendre itself was charming and a perfect escape from the city — beautiful streets, relaxed atmosphere, and great places to walk, eat, and explore. Overall, it was a seamless, well-run experience and I’d absolutely recommend it.

Private tour from Budapest to a top hidden treasure region of Europe: Lake Balaton

Michelle_L, Aug 2025

Feeling Like Celebrities on Lake Balaton with Balazs

We had the most amazing experience with our guide, Balazs, on a day trip from Budapest to Lake Balaton. He picked us up in his beautifully restored 1965 mint green Volvo, which was such a unique and fun way to start the journey. Driving through Hungary in this epic classic car made us feel like celebrities — even coming from Hollywood, California, people were snapping photos of us everywhere we went! Balazs is a fantastic guide – knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about sharing his local history and culture. Along the way, he gave us fascinating insights into both Budapest and Balaton, and he always made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. He took us to the most gorgeous lunch spot at Echo in Balaton, where the food and views were equally incredible. We crossed the lake, drank fresh sparkling water straight from the ground, and even watched the graceful brown swans. Every stop felt thoughtfully chosen and special. What really stood out was Balazs himself – friendly, personal, and accommodating to our requests, always going the extra mile to make the day perfect. By the end, it felt like we were exploring with a friend rather than just a guide. This tour was truly a highlight of our time in Hungary, and we can’t recommend Balazs highly enough!
