What are people saying about Budapest

Michelle_M, Aug 2026

Great history lesson

The palace itself from the outside was beautiful! Not much to the gardens. It was an interesting history lesson about CiCi and Franz Josef. The only negative comment was that we were a bit rushed because we waited for some people who arrived late. I would strongly suggest that the tour company tell people they must arrive 15 minutes before the tour to alleviate this issue.

From Budapest Bratislava and Vienna Full Day Guided Tour

Tim_T, Aug 2026

Add to your Budapest Experience-two more countries.

Ahmed was very kind and attentive to us. He provided both knowledge about the places we visited and proved to be a superb driver. Upon my request he took us to the Blue Church that wasn’t on the scheduled tour, therefore saving us a long walk. Bratislava was a fun city to see and plenty of time to experience. He transported us and our luggage to Vienna from Budapest and he was on time to pick us up from our hotel. After our time in Vienna he dropped us at our hotel. Great tour and transportation.

Budapest Romantic Private Tuk Tuk Tour

Julie_T, Aug 2026

Excellent and Informative.

Guide Zoltan was a very good tour guide. Nothing was too much trouble he kept saying he just wanted us to have the best time. Excellent communication skills and we enjoyed having a few giggles with him too. Particularly nice that he shared his memories of staying in UK as a student. Would highly recommend.

Budapest Culinary & Wine Walk

Chad_T, Jul 2026

Wonderful food and wine tour!

This is one of the best food and wine tours ever. I think this company does a great job and I will seek them out whenever we travel. Bali was our guide and he was great! He spoke very good English but his time of voice was perfectly loud enough so we could all hear. He also had the perfect pace for the tour. We loved the food choices along the way and I loved seeing Margaret Island and the cute residential cafes. The cap on the trip with a coffee and dessert just after the wine tasting was a perfect finish! Thanks Bali!

Budapest City Sightseeing Half-Day Tour

Great overview. good balance between van time (with AC) and walking outside.

Great way to get an overview of the city and the main attractions. Our guide Dora was knowledgable, friendly, answered our questions. Good combination of time in the van (with AC) and being able to walk/explore. Only 4 of us in total - 2 Spanish speakers, 2 English. Dora did a good job balancing between both.

Personalized, seamless, and enjoyable.

Gabriel was extremely attentive and easy to communicate with. Our tour was in English and he was fluent. We requested to focus on heroes square and we were shown that and more. It was a seamless and easily personalized experience. Gabriel also was flexible with pickup as we were doing this tour while staying on a river cruise ship which changed dock locations overnight. Communication was via WhatsApp and simple. Definitely recommend.

Essential Walking Tour

Susanjselby, Jan 2026

This tour IS essential for first time visitors.

Zoli , our fabulous guide, was great! Animated, full of knowledge and also had all those little facts and antidotes we all love. As we visited Buda and Pest, expect a fair amount of walking and we also used the metro and bus. For info, over 65s can travel for free, you just need to carry ID, I had bought a 3 day pass Like many, we book a tour to both learn and help us decide on where we want to visit afterwards. You’ll be spoilt for choice, Budapest has a fascinating history and surprisingly tough rules for drivers! Thank you to Zoli for a great afternoon

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.

Budapest in a Short, Comfortable, and Insightful Tour

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.

Like Clockwork

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.

Full Day Private Budapest City Tour With Lunch and Cruise option

Michael_M, Oct 2025

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!!

Budapest food tour with Anna.

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.
