Top Budapest Bus Tours - page 2

Andy was an amazing guide! We got to try so many dishes, and they tasted much more flavorful and authentic than the highly reviewed restaurants that we found ourselves. The wine stop at the end was perfect, and one variety was especially unique. We also just loved hanging out with Andy, really chill vibes with great food, drinks, and culture. Thanks for the welcoming and informative intro to Budapest!

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!

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.

My driver texted me several hours in advance to confirm, share his number and info on what to do once I had retrieved my baggage. Gave me total peace of mind which was really appreciated after a long, tiring travel day to an unfamiliar place! My flight was delayed an hour but he was ready to meet me as soon as I called him.

Zsofia (Sophia). Was a high energy positive personality and gave a great tour of Budapest. We spent the majority of time driving in her car to various places starting with Pest and then moving over to Budapest. She offered a detailed explanation at each site and gave us Hungarian lessons along the way. We stopped and walked at several locations including Heroes square and St Mathias church. You can tell she had done this for decades as she has a mental script of everything and continues to talk all through driving in the chaotic traffic in the city. Budapest has the most wonderful architecture and is an interesting mix of classic architecture from late 1800s/early 1900s along with communist era brutalist buildings in various stages of maintenance. As an American, the long history of the Hungarians and all the occupations such as the Romans, the Ottoman Turks, the Hapsburg dynasty, Austria Hungarian empire, the Nazis, the Soviets, the long period of communism and then the transition to capitalism is fascinating!! Zsofia is a true Hungarian and loves to talk about her country. Now is probably not for everyone as like I stated she is high energy and forward which would probably not work for some subdued, less adventurous Americans, but it worked for us!!

Our kind and cheerful guide Anna did an amazing job introducing us to Budapest and some of the local foods. We got a nice portion of several different foods and a pleasant walking tour as well. She also gave us excellent restaurant and cafe recommendations before we departed.

The tour takes you out of the city, and brings you to key historical sites, with amazing views, and really great shopping experiences. My guide Sophia, was infinitely knowledgeable, and extremely passionate about the region. I wouldn’t miss out if you’re looking into this…

Our guide was excellent. She knew her history, but didn’t inundate us with it. She understood we were there to have some fun and get some knowledge. We started at a wine shop. The young man who educated us on the history of Hungarian wine really knew his subject.. Enjoyed the red wine in particular and the charcuterie tray. Truly enjoyed the other stops on this tour, especially the last one for dessert.
