Wonderful way to see much...

Wonderful way to see much of the city in a short amount of time. Our local tour guide was both friendly and knowledgeable. After taking walking tours in different cities in extreme heat for a week, it was a relief to be off our feet and breezed around the city in the jeep.

Our Guide Susannah is HIGHLY recommended. She grew up in Budapest and had tremendous local knowledge. She was able to tell us many stories about the history of Budapest that were fascinating. She also spoke English fluently, and was a delightful person. It was 105 degrees on out tour, and she made sure we were in the shade, and using public transportation to maximize our sightseeing. Out of a scale of 1 to 10 we rate her a 12!!

Excellent tour. Sign up for the “grand tour” vs the “essential”. You see more of the Ghetto as well as a jewel of a smaller, 3rd, synagogue. The cemetery at the main synagogue is very thought provoking. Take your time. Guide was thoroughly knowledgeable and fluent in English.

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.
