What are people saying about Budapest

Steve_h, Apr 2026

Awesome

Unbelievable experience peddling around Budapest was surreal and what a fantastic time we had. Our guide was so knowledgeable about Budapest, we both learned so much from him that we would never have known without him, we ticked off every place that we wanted to visit in 2 and a half hours (even stoped for a pint) Budapest is the bomb 👍👏🍻

Budapest Historic Downtown Bicycle Tour in small groups

Myra_M, Mar 2026

Hungarian native Bike tour of Budapest.

Had an excellent tour with Oliver. First we decided to upgrade and get ebikes. Were charged $10 euros more each. Received thorough instructions on how to ride an electric bike. Oliver, a native Hungarian, was very knowledgeable and gave us a history lesson at every stop. He shared his culture, food, and pride of his country. We enjoyed our tour, which was well paced and covered all the highlights of Budapest. Would definitely recommend to friends.

Budapest Jewish Heritage: Synagogues, Shoes, Secrets & Flódni

We had a 2.5 hour tour...

We had a 2.5 hour tour with Petra. She was great. She met us at our hotel, answered lots of our questions, even if they were asking about statues and buildings that were along our route but not part of the tour. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. We took the metro from the Jewish quarter to the shoes on the Danube with her and she helped us understand the metro so we could do it on our own. Highly recommend

Budapest Dohany, Heroes', Rumbach synagogues & Jewish Ghetto Tour

Elisabeth_S, Jan 2026

With in-depth knowledge, care and passion

Milan had an informative and well-organized visit planned. After he gave an overview of Hungarian Jewry, with focus on geographical, cultural and religious differences, we visited 3 synagogues that were close by, the ghetto, the ghetto museum and the cemetery. Milan has researched his topics extremely well, and welcomed participant questions all of which he could answer expertly. He also anticipated participants' needs, adjusting the tour accordingly what spaces and timing were concerned. He is clearly passionate about and dedicated to the topic. I can warmly recommend Milan and the tour to anybody interested in Hungarian Jewish history.

Greg was such a great guide! While we had been in town for several days before we took this tour, Greg was able to describe and give history the buildings and sites we had walked past. He also made sure to take us to sites that we hadn't yet made it to on our own. Definitely a great way to get an overview of Budapest!

Leisurely Private Walking Tour with Diana

My wife and I spent three days in Budapest. Arriving in the morning from Prague, we had a 2 pm private tour that lasted about 3 1/2 hours. We walked from St. Stephen (Istvan) Basilica on the Pest side of the Danube (Duna) across the bridge to the Buda side. What we enjoyed was the leisurely pace since it was a private tour, yet we saw so much: the Parliament, Budapest Castle and all the buildings of import as well as some of the other important sights such as the shoes memorial on the Danube commemorating the shooting of thousands of Jews killed by the Nazi-aligned Arrow Cross party. The architecture of Budapest is spectacular and Diana pointed out the significance of the various sites. Highly recommended walking tour.

Unique and amazing tour

Balazs was an amazing guide. Great character and good sense of humour. Very insightful. Balazs turned up in a fully restored 1965 Volvo Amazon! Amazing car, so unique. That really made the day. This was an awesome experience. Lake Balaton is beautiful ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Budapest Dohany Synagogue & Hungarian Jewish Museum & free extras

Sandra_S, May 2025

Our guide was extremely...

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the synagogue and Jewish life. He brought it to life by telling us about his family’s experiences during the war. Unfortunately, we were on the short (45 minutes) tour so the synagogue was the only thing he had time to cover. I’m sure we would have enjoyed the longer tour.
