My husband, our friend traveling with us, and I all agree that our private walking tour was wonderful. Gabriella is a terrific guide. She is friendly and fun, and she presents history and all information in a way that is so engaging that you never lose interest. We had plenty of time to ask questions and take photos. We learned so much about Hungary and Budapest. We loved that we used Budapest's wonderful public transportation system (free for those 65 and over, 7-day card very reasonable) with her multiple times to get to various venues. Since our first full day started with Gabriella, this introduction to the transportation system helped us a lot, and we used it in our own with no problems the rest of our time in Budapest. Gabriella gave us great suggestions for restaurants and other places to visit on our own. The coffee and cookie break was awesome and a super treat, and we went back on our own the next day we liked the establishment so much. You definitely won't be disappointed with Gabriella as your Budapest walking tour guide.

Gabriella “got” us right away. She responded to our interests and questions and was engaging, informative, and open. We appreciated her willingness to share her experience, insights, and perspectives.

This is a fantastic tour. Gabriella was a superb guide. Really knowledgeable but with a great sense of humour. You see all the main sites and good mix of walking with the public transport options. She also gave us great advice and recommendations for the rest of our time in Budapest.

From the moment we met with Gabriella in our hotel lobby, the entire agenda was at a pace of our choosing & selected with us as to where we wanted to visit. Gabriella was extremely knowledgeable & informative, being a native of Budapest. She was most friendly & engaging; we would highly recommend choosing Gabriella as your guide.

This experience was worth every dime we paid. Our tour guide Reka is the absolute BEST and she ROCKS. The tour was fun, educative and informative. She gave us a great tour and rich history about Hungary and the city of Budapest.
In addition to all these awesomeness she shared some hidden gems in the city with us like good places to eat and where to find great activities.
I would absolutely rate her a 💯.
Thank you Reka.

We only had two days in Budapest so we needed a very efficient walking tour to help us get our bearings. Gabby was amazing! Her knowledge of the city’s history along with her willingness to understand what our interests were led to a delightful 1/2 day tour. We used the metro and buses to cover a lot of ground.
Our tour included a cup of coffee (or tea) and a delightful Budapest cake. Gabby also called the railway company on our behalf to help navigate some tricky questions about where our train to Bucharest was departing from (the main station was undergoing some renovations). Very tricky to manage Hungarian - but Gabby’s English was 100% fluent and conversational.
Yes, this walking tour costs a bit more than many of the others - however, I maintain that you only get what you pay for. Just getting to Budapest from Australia cost an arm and a leg, so ‘skimping on the pate’ and hoping to save a few bucks is (in my humble opinion) both foolish and a false economy.
For the wise traveller - THIS is the private walking tour you won’t regret paying for.
Thanks Gabby - we had a great time and learned heaps about your beautiful city.
Enjoy….

Gabriella is an excellent guide. Loved her attention and interest. The stop for coffee and cake was a treat too.
Christopher_F, May 2025
Loved our time with Veronika seeing the sights and sounds of Budapest. She was a lot of fun to walk with and learn about the city. Had some great suggestions at our cake and coffee stop and was very accommodating in tailoring our tour given we had some potential crossover sites on a tour the next day. Loved taking the bus up to Buda Castle and seeing Mattyas Church and everything up there, as well as walking around the bustle of the Pest side.

Gabriella was absolutely fantastic! I would highly suggest anyone reading this to hire her. She was so flexible and accommodating. The airline lost our luggage and she altered our tour to be indoors during the winter. She is so friendly and knowledgable. I did not know much about the culture and history. She made it all come alive! Also, you experience the bathes. It was truly a highlight of my life! When we visit again, we will be looking forward to more of her wonderful tours!
William_O, May 2025
She personalized the experience and covered as much as possible in the time frame we had!! I absolutely recommend her tours and would definitely go on a future tour with her. Lovely lady and a very good representative for her country. Budapest is a must see and I hope I can return one day.

Gabby was very interesting during our four hour tour of Budapest historical sights. The tour was by necessity high level, and serves as a great way to learn the town, how to use public transportation, and decide where to explore more deeply.
Doug_M, May 2025
Gabriella was excellent. We went through all of the highlights of the city at an easy pace. She is knowledgeable, funny and speaks very good English. Highly recommend this tour.

Matthew_S, Apr 2025
This is THE BEST way to get to know Budapest. Gabriella was a fantastic host! She met us at our hotel and took us on foot and public transportation to several sites throughout the city, and dropped us off for our afternoon appointment in the castle district. She will work with you and your schedule and give you an incredible introduction to the city. Recommend doing this on your first morning in Budapest for a phenomenal overview. Thank you, Gabriella, for such a great tour!
Response from Host, Apr 2025

This was a very good experience. We had an excellent guide who came prepared with loads of information and an iPad loaded with photos and additional information. She guided using the very convenient subway system and showed us great highlights around the city.

Spending the day exploring Budapest with Gabriella was an absolute delight! She met us at our hotel with a big smile and immediately made us feel like we were spending the day with a good friend in their hometown. She managed the day so we saw everything we wanted; and also tailored the tour to our friend’s vegan dietary needs. We had so much fun with her she learned so much about Budapest in a way that made us feel like we were locals in the city by the end! I cannot say enough amazing things about Gabriella’s positive and energetic attitude, and her knowledge of this beautiful city was impressive. She took time to offer photo spots and photo opportunities for us, as well as going out of her way to show us points of personal interest based on things she discovered we liked and wanted to learn more about. Please book this tour and ask for Gabriella - it will be your favorite part of visiting Budapest! Not only did we have a fabulous day in town, but we made an amazing new friend to stay in touch with. Thank you Gabriella!

Anna did an outstanding job of personalizing the tour. She had an amazing degree and scope of knowledge about Budapest. Anna is kind, informative, and a fun person to spend the day with. The tour took us around the key tourist spots. We learned a lot from Anna and had a great time! Highly recommend Anna and the tour.

We thought Gabriella was very knowledgeable and personable. She was very willing to accommodate what we wanted to do. We had a lovely few hours with her and would highly recommend her.
mikep, Sep 2024
My wife and I had an amazing time with Réka. She is not only incredibly well versed in the history of Budapest she was a delight to hang out with. Her knowledge, sense of humor, love for people and love for the city made this one of the most enjoyable tour experiences I’ve had in all of my travels. If you have the opportunity to go on this private walking tour I highly recommend it. Thanks Reka
