What are people saying about Budapest

Kirsten_T, Jul 2026

Budapest done right!

We had such a wonderful experience with our guide, Petra. She was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, informative, and friendly throughout the tour. Her passion for Budapest really shone through as she gave us a fantastic overview of the city’s history and culture, answering all of our questions with enthusiasm and clarity. The strudel and coffee were absolutely delicious and made for the perfect addition to an already excellent experience. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Budapest, it’s a fantastic way to get to know this beautiful city.

Budapest: Private Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private Tour)

Erin_F, Jul 2026

3 hours Budapest

Macarena was well-prepared, gave us the history of the area and showed us everything we requested and more! We spent the day in Pest at our request as our river cruise tour the following day was to hit the highlights of Buda. However, our ship had to leave the city early due to low water levels and we never got to see Buda. I wished that we had toured Buda with Macarena as well, which is what she recommended. There was a downpour in the middle of out tour and the guide knew exactly where to duck in until the rain was over. She also provided suggestions on where to eat once we were on our own. And took pictures of us (all the right angles) from her phone with a better camera than ours and sent them to us on WhatsApp. My husband and I are so glad we booked this tour! Thank you!

Budapest Jewish Heritage Memorial Walking Tour & Synagogue Entry

Don_R, Jul 2026

Excellent tour. Sign up...

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.

Budapest Private City Tour With a Vintage Russian Jeep

Marissa_M, Jul 2026

Expensive but worth it

László Széplaki Was our driver, he was on time, commuted well before our trip about pyr meeting place, very courteous and knowledgeable. He drove us to places that we have not been to and let us take pictures. Kids loved the experience and they are still talking about it. We highly recommend this experience, expensive but it was worth it. If you think about it, you will spend just as much renting car/ paying for uber to see the whole city. This was 3 hrs of tour, and we were not exhausted from walking. Worth it.

Budapest Highlights & Hidden Gems – Private Luxury Experience

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.

Our driver Levente was Excellent! Great personality, excellent English, (he speaks Hungarian, French & 2 other languages) He was a story teller, funny, friendly and would make for a fantastic entertaining tour guide.

Hungarian Wine Tasting (with Cheese and Charcuterie) in Budapest

John_M, Oct 2025

Delightful Tasting in the Heart of Budapest

Extremely enjoyable experience in a character-filled cellar in the heart of Budapest. Thomas led the group on an informative journey detailing the history of viticulture in Hungary. The wines presented were delicious and varied, truly highlighting the different varietals and flavor profiles available from Hungarian producers. The charcuterie and cheeses accompanying the wines were authentic products from local artisanal farms, and paired wonderfully with the wines. Definitely recommend investing in this experience, and will be ordering wines again and again for delivery to the US!
