Best tour of Budapest!

Pam_J, Jun 2025

This was an amazing tour. We had a guide Gesame who was very knowledgeable kind, and took the time to explain many of the sites here in Budapest. Everything was taken care of from transportation on the metro to the buses to the entrance to some of the buildings and lunch was spectacular. I highly recommend this tour!

lovely day, lovely food, lovely tour

Joseph_K, Feb 2024

We booked two tours on Viator with this company and they delivered! We had a wonderful time on this tour with our tour guide, Daniel. He was very kind and informative. There were only 4 of us on the tour and he had time for all questions. We learned a lot about Hungarian history, culture, everyday life and visited so many places. The lunch was absolutely great and in a very nice restaurant. Very strongly recommended activity!

the best way to see Budapest

Scott_C, Jan 2024

I booked this tour on viator after seeing the itinerary of this tour. It is very well planned and paced. There were only 5 of us on this tour, so it made the interactions very genuine and our guide, Ferenc was more than able to answer all our questions. He was funny, professional, knowledgeable and knew exactly what to say and how. The lunch was more than amazing, we got the best Goulash soup I ever had during my holiday. Main course was Chicken Paprika and the dessert was light and refreshing, all in a beautiful restaurant. Highly recommended!

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Hi Scott! Thank you for your feedback and kind words! It is great to hear you enjoyed your tour!

a must-do in Budapest

Dario_C, Jan 2024

Our guide, Peter was waiting for us at the Opera House, a great meeting place. Easy to find and get to. He was very friendly, funny and informative and he knew exactly how to treat us. We were lucky, since there was no one else on our tour. We first headed to the Heroes' square with one of the oldest metros in Europe. He already had the tickets and showed us how to use them. After some walk in the beautiful and historical City Park we went to the downtown to St. Stephen's. After a quick and amazing lunch break with Hungarian goulash we continued our tour to the Buda castle. Seeing so many things one day and learning so much was an absolutely amazing experience. VERY strongly recommended to everybody who goes to Budapest.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Dear Dario! Thanks for the description and review of your tour! It seems like you have seen a lot and enjoyed your tour. Great to hear from you!

A fantastic day in Budapest

Darrell_E, Jun 2023

This tour is an amazing way to get to know Budapest. I chose this tour on Viator, because I wanted a more personal experience when visiting Budapest. Our guide. Ferenc was more than amazing. On this tour, it was 4 of us, but he made all of us feel special. The lunch in Urban Outlaw was magnificant and it was well paced and fitted right into our itinerary.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Hi Darrell! Thank you for your feedback! We are happy to hear your day went well and had such a great time with us!

Our guide, Daniel took this tour to another level. We could not have asked for a better guide! He took really good care of us, keeping our interests in mind and always making sure that we are having fun. We could not recomment this tour more, great time and beautiful city.
