What are people saying about Budapest

Mildred_P, May 2026

Great experience! We love this tour!

The tour to Vienne and Bratislava was a wonderful experience. The guide called Ahmed from West Bank is a guide well educated, gentle. His driving skills were so good and he gave to us several times during the trip candies, choco, water, wc, etc. I strongly recommend this tour w/ Ahmed. The tour language is english but he speaks “some words” in other languages. Now I will the review in spanish…..el guia turistico llamado Ahmed fue muy cooperativo y muy educado en este tour de solo 8 personas, nos sentimos como si estuvieramos en familia, un muchacho muy considerado y cooperativo con las personas mayores que ibamos en el tour. Nos obsequio en varias ocasiones golosinas como chocolates, confituras, agua, un trago de palinka y vino. Mi esposa y yo recomendamos este tour con este guia….muchas gracias Ahmed !!!!

Budapest Private City Tour With a Vintage Russian Jeep

Sophia_E, May 2026

This was an amazing way...

This was an amazing way to see Budapest, especially if you’re short on time. Our guide, Laszlo, was very hospitable and knowledgeable—a true host. In addition to driving past major sights, the tour included stops at four iconic locations where we could explore on our own. Riding in a Russian Jeep made the experience even more exciting!

Tuk Tuk Tour of Budapest

The Tuk Tuk tour is an excellent way to see Budapest and the main tourist attractions. The vehicles can be parked almost anywhere so it is easy to get in and out when viewing a historic site.

The Parduns in Budapest

Gabor (Gabriel) was a very friendly, highly knowledgeable, super-friendly & safe driver/tour guide. It was an amazing way to see Budapest when time is short. We saw a week’s worth of sights in 3 hours. The tour itself was a very flexible mix of driving, narration, stops and taking in the sights. Clean newer Mercedes sedan, parking privileges all over the city, so no waiting around or parking issues. Highly recommended!

Budapest Hammer & Sickle Communist Times Tour

Darshana, Dec 2025

We really enjoyed this...

We really enjoyed this tour and especially our guide, Anna, who is extremely knowledgeable and engaging. Anna explained the communist past of both the city and the country in a very clear, thoughtful, and neutral way, focusing on historical context rather than pushing any bias, but added lots of personal and family stories from the era. The tour ended at the Retro Museum, which added a great touch and helped bring everyday life under communism to life. It was a very good introduction to Budapest and its history, and we’d highly recommend it, especially early in your stay.

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!

An informative tour that blends history, gastronomy, and all the key viewpoints — comfortably from the car, with punctuality and even a good bottle of water included. We stopped at several major landmarks for photos and short stories about each place, which really helped bring Budapest’s history to life. The guide was flexible with the itinerary and managed to offer a clear snapshot of the city’s charm in a short amount of time. If you’re on a tight schedule, this tour covers a lot — fast, intense, and still comfortable. Definitely worth it.

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.

High energy and interesting tour!!

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!!
