The tour was amazing. We had been to Budapest before and had thought we had seen the main attractions but the guide showed us soo much more. So many interesting sites near the main attractions. We also got to see the wonderfully decorated foyers of the opera house and the city baths.

Great tour

OMG! This is a must do walking city tour in Budapest. Our tour Guide Fanni was the best! She was fun, energetic, and knowledgeable. There were 11 of us on the tour and she managed to become friends with all of us. I highly recommend this walking tour because you stop at a lot of places, the sights are amazing, it’s worth the price, lunch and public transportation fee is included.

Sensational day seeing the sights and learning about Budapest's rich history.

We had an amazing day tour with our fantastic guide 'fanni'. The itinerary, local history and food stops were perfect. Fanni was a senstational guide with excellent knowledge and personable demenour. The day trip was a highlight of our stay in Budapest and we highly recomment it to anyone visiting the beautiful city. Hopefully you will win the lottery and get Fanni as your guide!

A great day tailored just for my interests.

Leslie did a great job in helping me fill in the spaces on the history I knew of the area. Very quickly he caught on to the things that were most important and interesting to me. The day was wonderful. I am so happy that I chose to have my own personal guide and I would love to spend another day as I know I have that much more to learn! Thank you!!

Great experience!

Our tour guide, Odea, was wonderful. She picked us up at our hotel and crafted the day so that we could see what we wanted. She made Hungarian history come alive with her great sense of humor. We were able to hit all of the significant landmarks in the city.

Budapest‘s best!

Kinga is a fantastic tour guide, illuminating the glories of stories often covered by our cultural ignorance. She was incredibly kind and passionate,answering all of our questions,getting to know us and pointing out things we would like. Having a private tour is far superior to a group one as you feel fully immersed in the city. Thank you so much Kinga! Joan and Evie
